PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation, practice or a race, make sure the machine is in good operating
condition.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
EASB111067GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
TIP
Perform usual maintenance enough so that, in the race course, a confirmation of that and simple set-
ting adjustments may only be left, in order to get enough time to use effectively.ITEM inspect Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.3-8 – 10
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank.
Check the fuel line for leakage.1-21
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crank-
case and oil line for leakage.3-14 – 16
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and
that the clutch operates smoothly.3-10 – 11
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play
are correctly adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and
housing, if necessary.3-11 – 12
BrakesCheck the play of front brake and effect of front and
rear brake.3-22 – 28
Drive chainCheck drive chain slack and alignment. Check that
the drive chain is lubricated properly.3-28 – 29
4-66 – 67
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check
for loose spokes and have no excessive play.3-34
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and
have no excessive play.3-35 – 36
Front forks and rear
shock absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil
leakage.3-29 – 33
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move
smoothly. Check that they are not caught when the
handlebars are turned or when the front forks travel
up and down.—
Exhaust pipeCheck that the exhaust pipe is tightly mounted and
has no cracks.3-14
Rear wheel sprocketCheck that the rear wheel sprocket tightening bolt is
not loose.4-8 – 9
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. 3-12, 3-36
Bolts and nutsCheck the chassis and engine for loose bolts and
nuts.1-24 – 25
Lead connectorsCheck that the AC magneto, ECU and ignition coil are
connected tightly.1-10 – 12

ing course and weather or by taking into account the
results of test runs before racing? Are inspection and

EASB111069CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVELEWA1DX1003
WARNING
If coolant seems hot, do not remove the ra-
diator cap.
1. Stand the vehicle upright on a level surface.
2. Remove:
• Radiator cap “1”
3. Check:
• Coolant level
Maximum level “a” or below Add coolant
up to the maximum level.
ECA1DX1004
NOTICE
• Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content. If, therefore, water is
used instead of coolant, check, and if nec-
essary, adjust the antifreeze concentra-
tion.
• Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
4. Start the engine, warm this up for several
minutes, and then stop it.
5. Check:
• Coolant level
TIP
Before checking the coolant level, wait a few
minutes until the coolant has settled.
EASB111070CHECKING THE COOLING SYSTEM
1. Remove:
• Seat
• Side cover (left/right)
• Air scoop (left/right)
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 4-
1.
• Air filter case cover
Refer to “THROTTLE BODY” on page 7-5.
2. Check:
• Radiator
• Radiator hoses
Crack/damage Replace.
Refer to “RADIATOR” on page 6-1.
3. Install:
• Air filter case cover
Refer to “THROTTLE BODY” on page 7-5.

WARNING
If coolant seems hot, do not remove the ra-
diator cap.
1. Place a container under the engine.
2. Remove:
• Coolant drain bolt “1”
3. Remove:
• Radiator cap
Slowly loosen the radiator cap to drain cool-
ant.
TIP
When the radiator cap is loosened, coolant will
gush out transversely; therefore, bring the con-
tainer near to the outlet.
4. Thoroughly flush the cooling system with
clean tap water.

WARNING
• If coolant splashes in your eyes, thorough-
ly wash them with water and consult a
doctor.
• If coolant splashes on your clothes, quick-
ly wash it away with water and then with
soap and water.
• If coolant is swallowed, induce vomiting
and get immediate medical attention.
ECA13480
NOTICE
• Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content of the coolant. If water
is used instead of coolant check, and if
necessary, correct the antifreeze concen-
tration of the coolant.
• Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
• If coolant comes into contact with painted
surfaces, immediately wash them with wa-
ter.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
7. Install:
• Radiator cap
8. Start the engine, warm this up for several
minutes, stop it, and then wait for it to cool
down.
9. Check:
• Coolant level
Refer to “CHECKING THE COOLANT LEV-
EL” on page 3-8.
