1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
WARNINGWARNING
Securely support the motorcycle so that
there is no danger of it falling over.
NOTE:
Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand
so that the rear wheel is elevated.
2. Measure:
• swingarm side play
• swingarm vertical movement
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
a. Measure the tightening torque of the
pivot shaft nut.
b. Measure the swingarm side play
by moving the swingarm from side to
side.
c. If the swingarm side play is out of
specification, check the spacers, bear-
ings, washers, and dust covers.
d. Check the swingarm vertical move-
ment
õ by moving the swingarm up
and down.
If swingarm vertical movement is not
smooth or if there is binding, check the
spacers, bearings, washers, and dust
covers.

c. Remove the drive chain from the ker-
osine and completely dry it.
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
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 internals,
and solvents will deteriorate the O-
rings. A coarse brush can also damage
the O-rings. Therefore, use only kero-
sine to clean the drive chain.

SWITCHES
CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY
Check each switch for continuity with the
pocket tester. If the continuity reading is
incorrect, check the wiring connections and
if necessary, replace the switch.
CAUTION:

Never insert the tester probes into the cou-
pler terminal slots
1
. Always insert the
probes from the opposite end of the cou-
pler, taking care not to loosen or damage
the leads.
NOTE:

• Before checking for continuity, set the
pocket tester to “0” and to the “
W

´
1”
range.
• When checking for continuity, switch back
and forth between the switch positions a
few times.
The terminal connections for switches (e.g.,
main switch, engine stop switch) are shown
in an illustration similar to the one on the
left.
The switch positions
a
are shown in the far
left column and the switch lead colors
b
are shown in the top row in the switch illus-
tration.
NOTE:

“ ” indicates a continuity of electric-
ity between switch terminals (i.e., a closed
circuit at the respective switch position).
The example illustration on the left shows
that:
There is continuity between blue/red and
red when the switch is set to “ ”.
There is continuity between blue/red and
blue, between brown/blue and red, and
between blue/yellow and blue/black when
the switch is set to “ON”.

CHECKING THE BULBS AND
BULB SOCKETS
Check each bulb and bulb socket for dam-
age or wear, proper connections, and also
for continuity between the terminals.
Damage/wear ® Repair or replace the
bulb, bulb socket or both.
Improperly connected ® Properly con-
nect.
Incorrect continuity reading ® Repair or
replace the bulb, bulb socket or both.
TYPES OF BULBS
The bulbs used on this motorcycle are
shown in the illustration on the left.
• Bulbs A and B are used for headlights
and usually use a bulb holder which must
be detached before removing the bulb.
The majority of these bulbs can be
removed from their respective socket by
turning them counterclockwise.
• Bulb C is used for turn signal and tail/
brake lights and can be removed from the
socket by pushing and turning the bulb
counterclockwise.
• Bulbs
D and E are used for meter and
indicator lights and can be removed from
their respective socket by carefully pulling
them out.
CHECKING THE CONDITION OF THE BULBS
The following procedure applies to all of
the bulbs.
1.Remove:
• bulb
