MEASURING THE COMPRESSION
PRESSURE
The following procedure applies to all of the cyl-
inders.
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a
loss of performance.
1. Measure:

valve clearance
Out of specification
Adjust.
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEAR-
ANCE”.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove:

ignition coils

spark plugs
Before removing the spark plugs, use com-
pressed air to blow away any dirt accumu-
lated in the spark plug wells to prevent it
from falling into the cylinders.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.

Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.

Make sure the motorcycle is upright.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Check:

engine oil level
The engine oil level should be between the
minimum level mark
a and maximum level
mark
b.
Below the minimum level mark
Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.

engine oil level
Below the minimum level mark
a
Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
When the engine is cold, the engine oil will
have a higher viscosity, causing the engine
oil pressure to increase. Therefore, be sure
to measure the engine oil pressure after
warming up the engine.

WARNING
EAS00162
CHECKING THE TIRES
The following procedure applies to both of the
tires.
1. Check:

tire pressure
Out of specification
Regulate.

The tire pressure should only be checked
and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.

The tire pressure and the suspension must
be adjusted according to the total weight
(including cargo, rider, passenger and ac-
cessories) and the anticipated riding
speed.

Operation of an overloaded motorcycle
could cause tire damage, an accident or an
injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTORCYCLE.

SWINGARM AND DRIVE CHAINCHAS
CAUTION:
2. Check:

drive chain
Stiffness
Clean and lubricate or replace.
3. Clean:

drive chain
a. Wipe the drive chain with a clean cloth.
b. Put the drive chain in kerosene and remove
any remaining dirt.
c. Remove the drive chain from the kerosene
and completely dry it.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings
1 between the drive chain
side plates. Never use high-pressure water
or air, steam, gasoline, certain solvents
(e.g., benzine), or a coarse brush to clean the
drive chain. High-pressure methods could
force dirt or water into the drive chain’s in-
ternals, and solvents will deteriorate the O-
rings. A coarse brush can also damage the
O-rings. Therefore, use only kerosene to
clean the drive chain. Don’t soak drive chain
in kerosine more them ten minutes. O-ring is
damage by kerosine.
4. Check:

O-rings
1
Damage
Replace the drive chain.

drive chain rollers

drive chain side plates
3
Damage / wear
Replace the drive chain.
Cracks
Replace the drive chain and make
sure the battery breather hose is properly
routed away from the drive chain and below
the swingarm.
5. Lubricate:

drive chain
Recommended lubricant
Engine oil or chain lubricant
suitable for O-ring chains

mended coolant)
Refer to “CHANGING THE COOLANT” in
chapter 3.
