EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emis­sion (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. Addi­tionally, Kawasaki has incorporated an evaporative emission control system (3) in compliance with applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board on vehicles sold in California only.
1. Crankcase Emission Control System This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors
are routed through an oil separator to the inlet side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the fuel injection system.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust
of this motorcycle. The fuel, ignition, and exhaust systems of this motorcycle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels.
The exhaust system of this model motorcycle manufactured primarily for sale in California in-
cludes a catalytic converter system.
3. Evaporative Emission Control System Vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere. In-
stead, fuel vapors are routed into the running engine to be burned, or stored in a canister when the engine is stopped. Liquid fuel is caught by a vapor separator and returned to the fuel tank.
The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is commonly referred to as the Act’s “tampering provisions”.
“Sec. 203(a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited... (3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed
on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any manufacturer or dealer knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.
(3)(B) for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading
motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines, or who operates a fleet of motor vehicles know­ingly to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title follow­ing its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser...”
NOTE
The phrase “remove or render inoperative any device or element of design” has been genera lly
interpreted as follows.
1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of de ­vices or elements o f design in order to perform maintenance.
2. Tampering could include.
a.Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are ex-
ceeded.
b.Use of replacement parts or accessories which adversely affect the performance
or durability of the motorcycle.
c.Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the stan-
dards.
d.Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or
element of design of the emission control systems.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE TH ESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW,
THE VIOLATION OF WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING $10 000 PER VIOLATION.

TAMPERING WITH N OISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED

Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof. (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below.
Replacement of the original exhaust system or muffler with a component not in compliance
with Federal regulations.
Removal of the muffler(s) or any internal portion of the muffler(s).
Removal of the air box or air box cover.
Modifications to the muffler(s) or air inlet system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such
modifications result in increased noise levels.

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly opera­tion on a motorcycle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustra­tions, photographs, cautions, and detailed descriptions have been included in each chapter wherever necessary. This section explains the items that require particular attention during the removal and reinstallation or disassembly and reassembly of general parts.
Especially note the following.
Battery Ground
Before completing any service on the motorcycle, discon­nect the battery cables from the battery to prevent the en­gine from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground cable (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the service, first connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) ca­ble to the negative terminal.
Edges of Parts
Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury from possible sharp edges on the parts.
Solvent
Use a high-flush point solvent when cleaning parts. High
-flush point solvent should be used according to directions of the solvent manufacturer.
Cleaning vehicle before disassembly
Clean the vehicle thoroughly before disassembly. Dirt or other foreign materials entering into sealed areas during ve­hicle disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease performance of the vehicle.
Before Servicing
Arrangement and Cleaning of Removed Parts
Disassembled parts are easy to confuse. Arrange the parts according to the order the parts were disassembled and clean the parts in order prior to assembly.
Storage of Removed Parts
After all the parts including subassembly parts have been cleaned, store the parts in a clean area. Put a clean cloth or plastic sheet over the parts to protect from any foreign materials that may collect before re-assembly.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Inspection
Reuse of worn or damaged parts may lead to serious ac­cident. Visually inspect removed parts for corrosion, discol­oration, or other damage. Refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for service limits on individual parts. Replace the parts if any damage has been found or if the part is be­yond its service limit.
Replacement Parts
Replacement Parts must be KAWASAKI genuine or recommended by KAWASAKI. Gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, grease seals, circlips or cotter pins m ust be replaced with new ones whenever disassembled.
Assembly Order
In most cases assembly order is the reverse of disassem­bly, however, if assembly order is provided in this Service Manual, follow the procedures given.
1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Tightening Sequence
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit. Then tighten them according to the specified se­quence to prevent case warpage or deformation which can lead to malfunction. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quar­ter turn and then remove them. If the specified tightening sequence is not indicated, tighten the fasteners alternating diagonally.
Tightening Torque
Incorrect torque applied to a bolt, nut, or screw may lead to serious damage. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque using a good quality torque wrench.
Force
Use common sense during disassembly and assembly, excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair dam­age. When necessary, remove screws that have a non
-permanent locking agent applied using an impact driver. Use a plastic-faced mallet whenever tapping is necessary.
Gasket, O-ring
Hardening, shrinkage, or damage of both gaskets and O-rings after disassembly can reduce sealing performance. Remove the old gaskets and clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly so that no gasket material or other material re­mains. Install the new gaskets and replace the used O-rings when re-assembling
Liquid Gasket, Non-permanent Locking Agent
For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a Non-permanent Locking Agent, clean the surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or non-permanent locking agent. Do not apply them exces­sively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and cause serious damage.
Before Servicing
Press
For items such as bearings or oil seals that must be pressed into place, apply small amount of oil to the con­tact area. Be sure to maintain proper alignment and use smooth movements when installing.
Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing
Do not remove pressed ball or needle unless removal is absolutely necessary. Replace with new ones whenever removed. Press bearings with the manufacturer and size marks facing out. Press the bearing into place by putting pressure on the correct bearing race as shown.
Pressing the incorrect race can cause pressure between the inner and outer race and result in bearing damage.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
Oil Seal, Grease Seal
Do not remove pressed oil or grease seals unless removal is necessary. Replace with new ones whenever removed. Press new oil seals with manufacture and size marks facing out. Make sure the seal is aligned properly when installing.
Apply specified grease to the lip of seal before installing the seal.
Circlips, Cotter Pins
Replace the circlips or cotter pins that were removed with new ones. Take care not to open the clip excessively when installing to prevent deformation.
1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Lubrication
It is important to lubricate rotating or sliding parts during assembly to minimize wear during initial operation. Lubri­cation points are called out throughout this manual, apply the specific oil or grease as specified.
Direction of Engine Rotation
When rotating the crankshaft by hand, the free play amount of rotating direction will affect the adjustment. Ro­tate the crankshaft to positive direction (clockwise viewed from output side).
Electrical Wires
A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected to those of the same color.
Instrument
Use a meter that has enough accuracy for an accurate measurement. Read the manufacture’s instructions thor­oughly before using the meter. Incorrect values may lead to improper adjustments.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-15
Technical Information-CAN (Controller Area Network) Communication System

Overview

The CAN communication system is used for transmitting and receiving data that is sent to the meter unit and ECU. A LCD (liquid crystal display) display in the meter unit displays information such as bat­tery voltage, fuel consumption, and service codes in addition to the conventional indicator functions.
1. Meter Display
1. Fuel Mileage Range
2. Fuel Consumption (Current)
3. Fuel Consumption (Average)
4. Battery Voltage
2. CAN is a multi-cast serial bus standard (ISO protocol). Data is transmitted by changing the voltage
signal of the two bus leads which are composed of high and low voltage wires twisted together. Since the high-speed ISO standard is used (transmission speeds of up to 500 kbps*), large quan­tities of data can be transmitted and received in a short period of time.
*bps: bit/sec the number of signals (0 or 1) transmittable/receivable per second
5. Gear Position
6. Service Code
7. Immobilizer Registration
8. Clutch Engagement Timing
1-16 GENERAL INFORMATION
Technical Information-CAN (Controller Area Network) Communication System
Structure and Function
1. In the CAN communication system, anti-noise twisted pair leads are used (two leads).
Twisted Pair Leads [A] (In the main harness)
2. Data is transmitted from the two nodes-the ECU and meter unit-on the CAN bus and does not contain specific bus addresses of either node.
Instead, the content of a data stream, such as engine rpm, is labeled with an identifier that is unique throughout the network. All nodes on the network receive the data and each performs an acceptance test on the identifier to determine if the message (and its data) is relevant to that particular node.
If a message is relevant to a particular node (meter unit), it will be processed and displayed other­wise it is ignored. The unique data identifier also determines the priority of the message. In situations where the two nodes attempt to transmit at the same time, a non-destructive arbitration technique guarantees that the messages are sent in order of importance.
3. The CAN data that is transmitted from the ECU to the meter unit are engine rpm, water temper-
ature, gear position, starter lockout switch, self-diagnosis information and *fuel injected volume. And the data transmitted from the meter to the ECU is vehicle speed.
*Fuel injected volume is converted into the fuel consumption by the meter unit.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-17
Technical Information-CAN (Controller Area Network) Communication System
System failure and maintenance
1. Detection of a system failure When the DFI or immobilizer system fails, the information will be shown on the LCD under the "ig-
nition switch ON" c ondition.
2. System maintenance
1. Do not add a by-pass lead to the twisted pair lead. This can damage components.
2. Do not modify the twisted pair lead or loosen/tighten the number of twists. Such modifications of the leads can cause the deterioration of the anti-noise characteristics resulting in communication errors.

Fuel System (DFI)

Throttle Control System Inspection
Check the throttle grip free play [A].
If the free play is incorrect, adjust the throttle cables.

Throttle Grip Free Play

Standard: 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.)
Check that the throttle grip [B] moves smoothly from full
open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and com­pletely by the return spring in all steering positions. If the throttle grip does not return properly, check the throt­tle cables routing, grip free play, and cable damage. Then lubricate the throttle cable. Run the engine at the idle speed, and turn the handlebar
all the way to the right and left to ensure that the idle speed does not change. If the idle speed increases, check the throttle cable free play and the cable routing.
If necessary, adjust the throttle cable as follows. Loosen the locknuts [A] [B].
Screw both throttle cable adjusters [C] [D] to give the
throttle grip plenty of play.
Turn the decelerator cable adjuster [C] until 2 3mm
(0.08 0.12 in.) of throttle grip play is obtained.
Tighten the locknut [A].
Turn the accelerator cable adjuster [D] until 2 3mm
(0.08 0.12 in.) of throttle grip play is obtained.
Tighten the locknut [B].
If the free play cannot be adjusted with the adjusters, re­place the cable.

2-16 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
For the California Model, pull off the vacuum hoses [A].
Pull off the air switching valve hose [A] from the air cleaner
housing. Plug the air switching valve hose end and air cleaner
housing hole.
Connect a vacuum gauge (special tool) and hoses [A] to
the fittings on the throttle body.
Special Tool - Vacuum Gauge: 57001-1369
Connect a highly accurate tachometer [B] to one of the
stick coil primary leads.
Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.
Check the idle speed, using a highly accurate tachometer
[A]. If the idle speed is out of the specified range, adjust it w ith the adjust screw.
CAUTION
Do not measure the idle speed by the tachometer of the meter unit.
While idling the engine, inspect the throttle body vacuum,
using the vacuum gauge [B].

Throttle Body Vacuum

Standard: 39 ±1.33 kPa (293 ±10 mmHg) at Idle Speed
1 100 ±50 r/min (rpm)
Maintenance Procedure
If any vacuum is not within specifications, first synchro­nize the balance of the left (#1, #2 throttle valves) and right (#3, #4 throttle valves) assemblies.
Example:
#1: 260 mmHg #2: 290 mmHg #3: 250 mmHg #4: 270 mmHg
With the engine at the correct idle speed, equalize higher
vacuum of #1 or #2 (for example 290 mmHg) to higher vacuum of #3 or #4 (for example 270 mmHg) by turning the center adjusting screw [A].

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17
NOTE
After adjustment, the final vacuum measurement be-
tween the highest throttle valves may not be 290 mmHg (for example). The goal is to have the highest two vac­uums between the left (#1 and #2) and right (#3 and #4) banks be the same and be within the service limits.
Open and close the throttle after each measurement, and
adjust the idle speed as necessary. Once the throttle valves have been synchronized, inspect
output voltage of the main throttle sensor to ensure proper operation (procedure is explained at the end of this sec­tion).
If a value of measured vacuum pressure is out of the specified range after synchronization, adjust the bypass screws [A].

Adjust lower vacuum between #1 and #2 to higher vac-
uum of #1 and #2. Adjust the lower vacuum between #3 and #4 to higher
vacuum of #3 and #4. Open and close the throttle valves after each measure-
ment, and adjust the idle speed as necessary. Check the vacuums as before.
If all vacuums are within the specification range, finish the engine vacuum synchronization. If any vacuum cannot be adjusted within the specification,
remove the bypass screws #1 #4 and clean them.

2-18 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
Turn in the bypass screw [A] with counting the number of
turns until it seals fully but not tightly. Record the number of turns.
Torque - Bypass Screw: 0.2 N·m (0.02 kgf·m, 1.8 in·lb)
CAUTION
Do not over tighten them. They could be damaged, requiring replacement.
Remove:
Bypass Screw Spring [B] Washer [C] O-ring [D]
Check the bypass screw and its hole for carbon deposits.
If any carbons accumulate, wipe the carbons off from the bypass screw and the hole, using a cotton pad penetrated with a high-flash point solvent. Replace the O-ring with a new one.
Check the tapered portion [E] of the bypass screw for
wear or damage. If the bypass screw is worn or damaged, replace it. Turn in the bypass screw until it seats fully but not tightly.
Torque - Bypass Screw: 0.2 N·m (0.02 kgf·m, 1.8 in·lb)
Back out the same number of turns counted when first
turned in. This is to set the screw to its original position.
NOTE
A throttle body has different “turns out” of the bypass
screw for each individual unit. On setting the bypass screw, use the “turns out” determined during disassem­bly.
Repeat the same procedure for other bypass screws.
Repeat the synchronization.
If the vacuums are correct, check the output voltage of the main throttle sensor (see Output Voltage Inspection of Main Throttle Sensor in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).

Main Throttle Sensor Output Voltage

Connections to ECU
Meter (+) Y/W lead (terminal 26)
Meter (–) BR/BK lead (terminal 34)
Standard: DC 0.63 0.65 V (at idle throttle opening)
If the output voltage is out of the range, check the throttle input voltage of the main throttle sensor (see Input Volt­age Inspection in the Main Throttle Sensor section in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
Remove the vacuum gauge hoses and install the rubber
caps on the original position. For the California Model, install the vacuum hoses.
Route the vacuum hoses according to Cable, Wire, and
Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter. Refer to the diagram of the evaporative emission control system in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter too.
Maintenance Procedure
Idle Speed Inspection
Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar to both sides
[A]. If handlebar movement changes the idle speed, the throttle cables may be improperly adjusted or incorrectly routed, or damaged. Be sure to correct any of these conditions before riding (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).
WARNING
Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed, or damaged cables could result in an un­safe riding condition.
Check the idle speed.
If the idle speed is out of specified range, adjust it.

Idle Speed

Standard: 1 100 ±50 r/min (rpm)
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-19
Idle Speed Adjustment
Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.
Turn the adjusting screw [A] until the idle speed is correct.
Open and close the throttle a few times to make sure that
the idle speed is within the specified range. Readjust if necessary.
Fuel Hose Inspection (fuel leak, damage, installation condition)
If the motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pres-
sure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel Tank Re­moval in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter) and left middle fairing (see Middle Fairing Removal in the Frame c hap­ter), and check the fuel hose. Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed.
Check that the hoses are routed according to Cable, Wire,
and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter. Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.
Hose Joints [A] Fuel Hose [B]
2-20 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
Check that the hose joints are securely connected.
Push and pull [A] the hose joint [B] back and forth more
than two times, and make sure it is locked. If it does not locked, reinstall the hose joint.
WARNING
Make sure the hose joint is installed correctly on the delivery pipe by sliding the joint, or the fuel could leak.
Cooling System
Coolant Level Inspection
NOTE
Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambi-
ent temperature).
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank [A] with the
motorcycle held perpendicular (Do not use the sidestand). If the coolant level is lower than the “L” level line [B], un­screw the reserve tank cap and add coolant to the “F” level line [C].
“L”: low “F”: full
CAUTION
For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant and soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties. The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum en­gine parts. In an emergency, soft water alone can be added. But the diluted coolant must be returned to the correct mixture ratio within a few days. If coolant must be added often or the reservoir tank has run completely dry, there is probably leakage in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks. Coolant ruins painted surfaces. Immediately wash away any coolant that spills on the frame, engine, wheels or other painted parts.
Radiator Hose and Pipe Inspection
(Coolant leak, damage, Installation Condition)
The high pressure inside the radiator hose can cause
coolant to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not properly maintained. Visually inspect the hoses for signs of deterioration.
Squeeze the hoses. A hose should not be hard and brittle, nor should it be soft or swollen. Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed. Check that the hoses are securely connected and clamps
are tightened correctly.
Torque - Radiator Hose Clamp Screws: 2.0 N·m (0.20 kgf·m,
18 in·lb)
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-21
Maintenance Procedure
Evaporative Emission Control System (California Model)
Evaporative Emission Control System Inspection
Inspect the canister as follows.
Remove the seat (see Seat Removal in the Frame chap-
ter). Remove the canister [A], and disconnect the hoses from
the canister. Visually inspect the canister for cracks or other damage.
If the canister has any cracks or bad damage, replace it with a new one.
NOTE
The canister is designed to work well through the motor-
cycle’s life without any maintenance if it is used under normal conditions.
Check the liquid/vapor separator as follows.
Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel Tank Removal in the Fuel
System (DFI) chapter). Disconnect the hoses from the separator, and remove the
separator [A] from the motorcycle right side. Visually inspect the separator for cracks and other dam-
age. If the separator has any cracks or damage, replace it with a new one. To prevent the gasoline from flowing into or out of the
canister, hold the separator perpendicular to the ground. Check the hoses of the evaporative emission control sys-
tem as follows. Check that the hoses are securely connected and clips
are in position. Replace any kinked, deteriorated or damaged hoses.
Route the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose
Routing section in the Appendix chapter. Refer to the di­agram of the evaporative emission control system in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter too. When installing the hoses, avoid sharp bending, kinking,
flattening or twisting, and route the hoses with a minimum of bending so that the emission flow will not be obstructed.
Air Suction System
Air Suction System Damage Inspection
Remove the right middle fairing (see Middle Fairing Re-
moval in the Frame chapter). Pull the air switching vale hose [A] out of the air cleaner
housing. Start the engine and run it at idle speed.
Plug [B] the air switching valve hose end with your finger
and feel vaccum pulsing in the hose. If there is n o vaccum pulsation, check the hose line for leak. If there is no leak, check the air switching valve (see Air Switching Valve Unit Test in the Electrical Sys­tem chapter) or air suction valve (see Air Suction Valve Inspection in the Engine Top End chapter).

Maintenance Procedure
CAUTION
Be sure to remeasure the clearance after selecting a shim according to the table. If the clearance is out of the specified rage, use the additional shim.
If there is no valve clearance, use a shim that is a few
sizes smaller, and remeaasure the valve clearance. When installing the shim, face the marked side toward the
valve lifter. At this time, apply engine oil to the shim or the valve lifter to keep the shim in place during camshaft installation.
CAUTION
Do not put shim stock under the shim. This may cause the shim to pop out at high rpm, causing ex­tensive engine damage. Do not grind the shim. This may cause it to fracture, causing extensive engine damage.
Apply engine oil to the valve lifter surface and install the
lifter. Install the camshaft (see Camshaft Installation in the En-
gine Top End chapter). Recheck the valve clearance and readjust if necessary.
Install the removed parts (see appropriate chapters).
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-27
Clutch and Drive Train
Clutch Operation Inspection
Start the engine and check that the clutch does not slip
and that it releases properly. If the clutch operation is insufficiency, inspect the clutch system.
WARNING
When inspecting by running the vehicle, note a surrounding traffic situation enough in the place of safety.
Clutch Fluid Level Inspection
Hold the clutch fluid reservoir [A] horizontal.
Check that the clutch fluid level of the clutch reservoir is
between the lower [B] and the upper [C] level lines. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, fill the reservoir to the upper level line in the reservoir. Since the clutch fluid is the same as the brake fluid, refer
to Brake Fluid Section in the Brake chapter for further details.
2-28 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
Follow the procedure below to instal the clutch fluid reser-
voir cap correctly. First, tighten the clutch fluid reservoir cap [B] clockwise
[C] by hand until the resistance is felt fully; then, tighten the cap an additional 1/6 turn [D] while holding the clutch fluid reservoir body [A].
WARNING
Change the fluid in the clutch line completely if the fluid must be refilled but the type and brand of the fluid that already is in the reservoir are unidentified. After changing the fluid, use only the same type and brand of fluid thereafter.
Clutch Fluid Leak Inspection
Apply the clutch lever and inspect the clutch fluid leak
from the clutch hose/pipe [A] and fittings. If the clutch fluid leaked form any position, inspect or re­place the problem part.
Clutch Hose and Pipe Damage and Installation Condition Inspection
Inspect the clutch hoses and fittings for deterioration,
cracks, corrosion and signs of leakage. The high pressure inside the clutch line can cause fluid
to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not properly maintained. Bend and twist the rubber hose while exam­ining it. Replace it if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are no­ticed. Check that the hoses are securely connected and banjo
bolts are tightened correctly.
Torque - Clutch Hose Banjo Bolts: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18
ft·lb)
Inspect the clutch hose routing.
If any clutch hose routing is incorrect, route the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter. Replace the hose if the has been sharply bent or kinked.
Maintenance Procedure
Wheels/Tires
Air Pressure Inspection
Remove the air valve cap.
Measure the tire air pressure with an air pressure gauge
[A] when the tires are cold (that is, when the motorcycle has not been ridden more than a mile during the past 3 hours). Install the air valve cap.
Adjust the tire air pressure according to the specifications if necessary.

Air P ressure (when Cold)

Front: Up to 180 kg (397 lb)
290 kPa (2.9 kgf/cm², 42 psi)
Rear: Up to 180 kg (397 lb)
290 kPa (2.9 kgf/cm², 42 psi)
Wheel/Tire Damage Inspection
Remove any imbedded stones [A] or other foreign parti-
cles [B] from tread. Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, and replace
the tire if necessary. Swelling or high spots indicate inter­nal damage, requiring tire replacement. Visually inspect the wheel for cracks, cuts and dents dam-
age. If any damage is found, replace the wheel if necessary.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-29
Tire Tread Wear Inspection
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more sus­ceptible to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn). So it is false economy and unsafe to use the tires until they are bald.
Measure the tread depth at the center of the tread with a
depth gauge [A]. Since the tire may wear unevenly, take
measurement at several places.
If any measurement is less than the service limit, replace
the tire (see Tire Removal/Installation in the Wheels/Tires
chapter).

Tread Depth

Standard:
Front
Rear
Service Limit:
Front
Rear
3.8 mm (0.15 in.)

3 mm (0.12 in.) (Over 130 km/h (80 mph))
2-30 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
WARNING
To ensure safe handling and stability, use only the recommended standard tires for replacement, in­flated to the standard pressure.
NOTE
Most countries may have their own regulations a mini-
mum tire tread depth: be sure to follow them. Check and balance the wheel when a tire is replaced
with a new one.
Wheel Bearing Damage Inspec tion
Raise the front wheel off the ground with the jack (see
Front Wheel Removal in the Wheels/Tires chapter). Turn the handlebar all the way to the right or left.
Inspect the roughness of the front wheel bearing by push-
ing and pulling [A] the wheel. Spin [B] the front wheel lightly, and check for smoothly
turn, roughness, binding or noise. If roughness, binding or noise is found, remove the front wheel and inspect the wheel bearing (see Front Wheel Removal, Hub Bearing Inspection in the Wheels/Tires chapter).
Raise the rear wheel off the ground with the stand (see
Rear Wheel Removal in the Wheels/Tires chapter). Inspect the roughness of the rear wheel bearing by push-
ing and pulling [A] the wheel. Spin [B] the rear wheel lightly, and check for smoothly
turn, roughness, binding or noise. If roughness, binding or noise i s found, remove the rear wheel and inspect the wheel bearing (see Rear Wheel Re­moval, Hub Bearing Inspection in the Wheels/Tires chap­ter) and coupling (see Coupling Bearing Inspection in the Final Drive chapter).
Drive Train
Drive Chain Lubrication Condition Inspection
If a special lubricant is not available, a heavy oil such as
SAE 90 is preferred to a lighter oil because it will stay on the chain longer and provide better lubrication. If the chain appears especially dirty, clean it before lubri-
cation.
CAUTION
The O-rings between the side plates seal in the lu­bricant between the pin and the bushing. To avoid damaging the O-rings and resultant loss of lubri­cant, observe the following rules. Use only kerosene or diesel oil for cleaning of the O
-ring of the drive chain. Any other cleaning solution such as gasoline or trichloroethylene will cause de­terioration and swelling of the O-ring. Immediately blow the chain dry with compressed air after clean­ing. Complete cleaning and drying the chain within 10 minutes.
Maintenance Procedure
Apply oil to the sides of the rollers so that oil will penetrate
to the rollers and bushings. Apply the oil to the O-rings so
that the O-rings will be coated with oil.
Wipe off any excess oil.
Oil Applied Areas [A] O-ring [B]
Drive Chain Slack Inspection
NOTE
Check the slack with the motorcycle setting on its side
stand. Check the slack with the motorcycle setting on its center
stand (center stand equipped models). Clean the chain if it is dirty, and lubricate it if it appears
dry.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-31
Check the wheel alignment (see Wheel Alignment Inspec-
tion).
Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain
is tightest.
Measure the vertical movement (chain slack) [A] m idway

If the chain is too loose, turn out the right and left chain
adjusters [D] evenly.
If the chain is too tight, turn in the right and left chain
adjusters evenly, and kick the wheel forward.
Turn both chain adjusters evenly until the drive chain has
the correct amount of slack. To keep the chain and wheel
properly aligned, the notch [E] on the right wheel align-
ment indicator [F] should align with the same swingarm
mark or position [G] that the left indicator notch aligns
with.
WARNING
Misalignment of the wheel will result in abnormal
wear and may result in an unsafe riding condition.
Tighten both chain adjuster locknuts securely.
Tighten the axle nut.
Torque - Rear Axle Nut: 127 N·m (13.0 kgf·m, 94 ft·lb)
Turn the wheel, measure the chain slack again at the tight-
est position, and readjust if necessary.
2-32 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
Insert a new cotter pin [A].
NOTE
When inserting the cotter pin, if the slots in the nut do
not align with the cotter pin hole in the axle, tighten the nut clockwise [B] up to next alignment. It should be within 30°.
Loosen once and tighten again when the slot goes past
the nearest hole.
Bend the cotter pin [A] over the nut.
WARNING
If the rear axle nut is not securely tightened or the cotter pin is not installed, an unsafe riding condi­tion may result.
Wheel Alignment Inspection
Check that the notch [A] on the right alignment indicator
[B] aligns with the same swingarm mark or position [C] that the left alignment indicator notch aligns with. If they do not, adjust the chain slack and align the wheel alignment (see Drive Chain Slack Adjustment).
NOTE
Wheel alignment can be also checked using the
straightedge or string method.
WARNING
Misalignment of the wheel will result in abnormal wear, and may result in an unsafe riding condition.
Drive Chain Wear Inspection
Remove the chain cover (see Drive Chain Removal in the
Final Drive chapter). Rotate the rear wheel to inspect the drive chain for dam-
aged rollers, and loose pins and links. If there is any irregularity, replace the drive chain. Lubricate the drive chain if it appears dry. Stretch the chain taut by hanging a 98 N (10 kg, 20 lb)
weight [A] on the chain. Measure the length of 20 links [B] on the straight part [C] of
the chain from the pin center of the 1st pin to the pin center of the 21st pin. Since the chain may wear unevenly, take measurements at several places. If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the chain. Also, replace the front and rear sprockets when the drive chain is replaced.

Maintenance Procedure
Master Cylinder Assembly
Before assembly, clean all parts including the master
cylinder with brake fluid or alcohol.
CAUTION
Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc
brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for
cleaning brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for
cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any
other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of
the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be diffi-
cult to wash off completely, and will eventually de-
teriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.
Apply brake fluid to the new parts and to the inner wall of
the cylinder.
Take care not to scratch the piston or the inner wall of the
cylinder.
Apply silicone grease to the brake lever pivot bolt.
Tighten the brake lever pivot bolt and the locknut.
