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.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P.3-5 ~ 9
FuelCheck that a fresh mixture of oil and gasoline is filled in the fuel
tank. Check the fuel line for leakage.P.1-12
Transmission oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase for leak-
age.P.3-12 ~ 13
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and that the
clutch operates smoothly.P.3-9
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P.3-10
Brakes Check the play of front brake and effect of front and rear brake. P.3-16 ~ 21
Drive chainCheck drive chain slack and alignment. Check that the drive
chain is lubricated properly.P.3-22 ~ 24
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P.3-31 ~ 32
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-32 ~ 34
Front forks and rear shock
absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-24 ~ 30
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 pipe and silencerCheck that the exhaust pipe is tightly mounted and has no
cracks.P.4-2
Rear wheel sprocket Check that the rear wheel sprocket tightening bolt is not loose. P.3-22
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P.3-35
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts. P.1-16
Lead connectorsCheck that the CDI magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil are con-
nected tightly.P.1-6
SettingsIs the machine set suitably for the condition of the racing course
and weather or by taking into account the results of test runs
before racing? Are inspection and maintenance completely
done?P.7-1 ~ 19

CHASSIS
EC361012
BRAKE SYSTEM AIR BLEEDING
WARNING
Bleed the brake system if:

The system has been disassembled.

A brake hose has been loosened or
removed.

The brake fluid is very low.

The brake operation is faulty.
A dangerous loss of braking performance
may occur if the brake system is not prop-
erly bled.
1. Remove:

Reservoir cap

Diaphragm

Reservoir float (front brake)
2. Bleed:

Brake fluid
ÈFront
ÉRear
Air bleeding steps:
a. Add proper brake fluid to the reservoir.
b. Install the diaphragm. Be careful not to
spill any fluid or allow the reservoir to
overflow.
c. Connect the clear plastic tube 2 tightly to
the caliper bleed screw 1.
d. Place the other end of the tube into a con-
tainer.
e. Slowly apply the brake lever or pedal sev-
eral times.
f. Pull the lever in or push down on the
pedal. Hold the lever or pedal in position.
g. Loosen the bleed screw and allow the
lever or pedal to travel towards its limit.
h. Tighten the bleed screw when the lever or
pedal limit has been reached; then
release the lever or pedal.

If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to
let the brake fluid system stabilize for a few
hours. Repeat the bleeding procedure when
the tiny bubbles in the system have disap-
peared.
j. Add brake fluid to the level line on the res-
ervoir.
WARNING
Check the operation of the brake after
bleeding the brake system.
