Radiator Check the radiator fins for obstruction by insects or mud. Clean off any obstructions with a low-pressure stream of water. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT WARNING The cooling system can get extremely hot during normal operation and cause serious burns.

Do not touch the radiator when it is hot, nor open the radiator cap. Hot coolant inside will cause severe burns. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. Install the radiator cap. Coolant Change The coolant should be changed periodically to en- sure long engine life. Wait for the engine to cool completely. Lean the motorcycle slightly to the right until the radiator cap is level to the ground.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT NOTICE. Fill the radiator up to the bottom of the radiator filler Immediately wash away any coolant that neck with coolant. Spills on the frame, engine, or wheel. Lean the motorcycle slightly to the right until the radiator filler neck is level to the ground so that the WARNING filler neck is located uppermost in order to exhaust. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT A.

If the coolant level is low, add coolant up to the Air Bleeder Bolt Tightening Torque bottom of the radiator filler neck. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT If the plug is oily or has carbon built up on it, clean Spark Plug it. The plug may also be cleaned using a high flash -point solvent and a nonmetal brush (nylon etc.). If the spark plug electrodes are corroded, or damaged, or if the insulator is cracked, replace the plug.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. Fit the plug cap securely onto the spark plug, and Ignition Timing pull the cap lightly to make sure that it is properly installed.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. Remove the wing bolt, and take out the air cleaner Air Cleaner element. A clogged air cleaner restricts the air intake, in- creases fuel consumption, reduces engine power, and can cause spark plug fouling.

Inspect the air in- take system, which includes the air filter and air duct to the carburetor, and the duct clamps and carbure- tor, before each race or practice session. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. Inspect the element. If it is dirty, clean it.

Also check if the element is in good condition (no tears, hardening or shrinkage). If damaged, replace the element or it will allow dirt into the carburetor. WARNING A clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust to enter the carburetor and the throttle may. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT WARNING Gasoline and low flash-point solvents can be flammable and/or explosive and cause severe burns. Clean the element in a well-ventilated area, and take care that there is no spark or flame anywhere near the working areas. Do not use gasoline or low flash-point solvents to clean the element.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Throttle Cable Throttle Cable Adjustment Inspect the throttle grip for smooth operation in all steering positions. Check and adjust the throttle cable in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

Check that the throttle grip has 2 ∼ 3 mm (0.08 ∼ 0.12 in.) of play and turns smoothly. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. If the play is incorrect, pull the rubber boot off the upper end of the throttle cable, loosen the locknut on the upper end of the throttle cable and turn the adjuster to obtain the specified play. Then, tighten the locknut. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. Open and close the throttle a few times to make Carburetor sure the idling speed does not change, and read- just if necessary.

Before attempting any changes, however, Carburetor Tuning make sure that everything else is in good shape and properly tuned. Check the condition of the Tuning a carburetor is not the mysterious science spark plug, make sure the ignition timing is correct, many racers believe it to be. TUNING With pinging or ratting, make sure that the gasoline is fresh and the octane rattling sufficient.

You might also try a different brand of high-octane gasoline. Making Adjustments Carburetor tuning is made by replacing or adjust- ing the main jet, jet needle and pilot jet, which regu- late the fuel flow, and the air screw, which regulates the air flow. TUNING There are five grooves in the top of the jet needle in which a clip fits. This clip positions the jet needle in the throttle valve relative to the needle jet.

Moving the clip down has the effect of pulling the needle further out of the jet. TUNING On the side of the needle jet two figures are Pilot Jet and Air Screw stamped: a letter followed by an even number; The pilot jet and air screw control the mixture in these figures indicate the relative size of the needle the closed-to-1/8-throttle range, but have little effect jet. TUNING. If the spark plug insulator is whitish, the fuel-air mixture is too lean.

Increase the main jet size by one step. If the spark plug insulator is wet, the fuel-air mix- ture is too rich. Reduce the main jet size by one step. TUNING Correction Factor Applied to the Jet Needle and Air Screw 1.06 ∼ 1.02 1.02 ∼ 0.98 0.98 ∼ 0.94 Correction factor 1.06 or above 0.94 or below Jet needle setting lower clip one position same raise clip one position one size one size same. TUNING. Standard Carburetor Settings Change the jet needle clip position, needle jet and air screw opening according to the appropriate Throttle Valve Cutaway #1.5 chart on the previous page.

Air Screw Opening 1 1/2 EXAMPLE: For a correction factor of 0.94, raise the needle clip one position and turn out the air screw Pilot Jet one extra turn. TUNING. The front and rear suspension should always be Suspension Tuning balanced; when the one is changed, the other one might need to be changed similarly. When evaluating suspension performance, the Introduction rider must make every effort to ride consistently No area of machine adjustment is more critical and to recognize the effects of his input.

TUNING Troubleshooting Improper Settings Fork Oil Level Effect on Fork Stroke Listed below are some symptoms of improper sus- pension settings and the most likely means of cor- recting them.
