*ENGINE A. IGNITION TIMING The ignition system is modified for easier maintenance. Thus, the following “ignition timing check” should be changed, Ignition timing check 1. Ignition timing is checked with a timing light by observing the position of the rotor pointer and the marks stamped on the timing plate. The timing plate is marked as follows. “ll” Firing range for No. 1 (L.H.) “T” Top Dead Center for No. 1, fL.H.1 cylinder 2. Connect the timing light to the left cylinder spark plug lead wire. 3. Start the engine and keep the engine speed as specified. Use a tachometer to check the engine speed. B. PICK-UP COIL ASSEMBLY The method of mounting the pick-up coil assembly is changed for easier service work. Thus, the followings “Pick-up coil assembly removal” and “Pick-up coil assembly reinstal- lation” should be changed. Pick-up coil assembly removal Remove the pick-up coil securing screws and remove the pick-up coil assembly. Pick-up coil assembly reinstallation Install the pick-up coil assembly on to the stator assembly. _ L 4. Specified engine speed: 1,200 r/min The rotor pointer should be within the limits of ” fl ” on the timing plate. If it exceeds the limits or does not steady, check the timing plate for tight- ness and/or ignition system for damage. NOTE: Ignition timing is not adjustable. C. FUEL LEVEL The carburetor is furnished with a drain screw to provide easy access to service work. Thus, the following “Fuel level measurement” should be added. Fuel level measurement NOTE: Before checking the fuel level, note the follow- ing: 1. Place the motorcycle on a level surface. 2. Adjust the motorcycle position by plac- ing a suitable stand or a garage jack under the engine so that the carburetor is positioned vertically. 1. 2. Connect the level gauge (special tool) or a vinyl pipe of 6 mm (0.24 in) in inside diameter to the float bowl nozzle left or right side carburetor. Set the gauge as shown and loosen the drain screw. -5
3. Start the engine and stop it after a few minutes of run. This procedure is neces- sary to obtain the correct fuel level. NOTE: Make sure the fuel petcock is “ON” or “RES” oosition. 4. Note the fuel level and bring the gauge to the other end of the carburetor line and repeat step 3 above. Note the fuel level again and compare it with the previous gauge reading. They should be equal. If not, place a suitable size of wooden piece or the. alike under the center stand and adjust. 5. Check the fuel level one by one. The level should be in the specified range. Fuel level: 1 f 1 mm (0.04? 0.04 in) above from the carburetor mixing chamber body edge. YL___-A 6. If the fuel level is incorrect, remove the carburetor assembly from the motor- cycle and check the fuel valve(s) and float assembly(s) for damage. 7. If no damage is found, correct the fuel level by slightly bending the float arm tang. Recheck the fuel level. D. ENGINE OIL LEVEL MEASUREMENT 1. Place the motorcycle on the center stand. Warm up the engine for several minutes. NOTE: Be sure the motorcycle is positioned straight up when checking the oil level; a slight tilt toward the side can produce false readings. -6- Y
2 With the engine stopped, check the oil level through the level window located at the lower part of the right side crankcase cover, or screw the dip stick completely out and then the stick in the hole. NOTE: Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles before checking. When checking engine oil level with the dip stick, let the unscrewed dip stick rest on the case threads. 1. Dip stick 2. Maximum level 3. Minimum level 3. The oil level should be between maxi- mum and minimum levels. If the level is lower, add sufficient oil to raise it to the proper level. l-
*CHASSIS A. REAR WHEEL REMOVAL 1. Place the motorcycle on the center stand. 2. Remove the tension bar and the brake rod from the brake shoe plate. The ten- sion bar can be removed by removing the cotter pin and nut from the tension bar bolt. The brake rod can be removed by removing the adjuster. 1. Adjusfer 2. Brake rod 3. Tenrio” bar 3. Disconnect the drive chain. 4. Loosen the chain tension adjusting nuts and bolts on both sides. 5. Remove the axle nut cotter pin and axle nut. Discard the old pin. 6. 7. a. Remove the axle shaft and the wheel. For reassembly, follow the procedure below with care: Make sure the drive chain master link is correctly installed with rounded end in direction of chain travel. b. Make sure the axle nut is properly torqued and a new cotter pin is installed. 15.0 m-kg (108.5 ft-lb) c. Adjust the drive chain. 8. DRIVE CHAIN TENSION CHECK NOTE: Before checking and/or adjusting, rotate rear wheel through several revolutions and check tension several times to find the tightest point. Check and/or adjust chain tension with rear wheel in this “tight chain” position. Inspect the drive chain with the center stand put up. Check the tension at the position shown in the illustration. The normal vertical deflection is approximately 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 in). If the deflection exceeds 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 in) adjust the chain tension. C. DRIVE CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the rear brake adjuster. 2. Remove the cotter pin of the rear wheel axle nut with pliers.
