Foreword

This manual is designed primarily for use by trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop.

However, it contains enough detail and basic information to make it useful to the owner who desires to perform his own basic maintenance and repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. Whenever the owner has insufficient experience or doubts his ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics.

In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment are specified, do not use makeshift tools or equipment. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation.

To get the longest life out of your vehicle:

Follow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the

Service Manual.

Be alert for problems and non-scheduled maintenance.

Use proper tools and genuine Kawasaki Motorcycle parts. Special tools, gauges, and testers that are necessary when servicing

Kawasaki motorcycles are introduced by the

Service Manual. Genuine parts provided as spare parts are listed in the Parts Catalog.

Follow the procedures in this manual carefully. Don’t take shortcuts.

Remember to keep complete records of maintenance and repair with dates and any new parts installed.

How to Use This Manual

In this manual, the product is divided into its major systems and these systems make up the manual’s chapters. The Quick Reference

Guide shows you all of the product’s system and assists in locating their chapters. Each chapter in turn has its own comprehensive Table of Contents.

For example, if you want ignition coil information, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Electrical System chapter. Then, use the

Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Ignition Coil section.

Whenever you see symbols, heed their instructions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices.

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.

This manual contains four more symbols which will help you distinguish different types of information.

NOTE

NOTE indicates information that may help or guide you in the operation or service of the vehicle.

Indicates a procedural step or work to be done.

Indicates a procedural sub-step or how to do the work of the procedural step it follows. It also precedes the text of a NOTE.

Indicates a conditional step or what action to take based on the results of the test or inspection in the procedural step or sub-step it follows.

In most chapters an exploded view illustration of the system components follows the Table of

Contents. In these illustrations you will find the instructions indicating which parts require specified tightening torque, oil, grease or a locking agent during assembly.

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:

Edges of Parts

Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury from possible sharp edges on the parts.

Solvent

Use a high flash-point solvent when cleaning parts. High flash-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.

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.

Before Servicing

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, cotter pins or self-locking nuts must 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.

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.

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

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. Often, the tightening sequence is followed twice-initial tightening and final tightening with torque wrench.

All of the tightening torque values are for use with dry, solvent - cleaned threads unless otherwise indicated. If a fastener which should have dry, clean threads gets contaminated with lubricant, etc., applying even the specified torque could damage it.

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 old gaskets and clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly so that no gasket material or other material remains. Install new gaskets and replace 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.

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.

Before Servicing

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 circlips or cotter pins that were removed with new ones. Take care not to open the clip excessively when installing to prevent deformation.

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.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

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 Leads

A two-color lead is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical leads 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.

Torque and Locking Agent

Tighten all bolts and nuts to the proper torque using an accurate torque wrench. If insufficiently tightened, a bolt or nut may become damaged, strip an internal thread, or break and then fall out. The following table lists the tightening torque for the major bolts and nuts, and the parts requiring use of a non-permanent locking agent or silicone grease etc. All of the values are for use with dry solvent cleaned threads unless otherwise indicated.

When checking the tightening torque of the bolts and nuts, first loosen the bolt or nut by half a turn and then tighten to specified torque.

Letters used in the “Remarks” column mean:

AL: Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque.

G: Apply grease.

L: Apply a non-permanent locking agent.

Lh: Left-hand Threads

R: Replacement Parts

S: Follow the specified tightening sequence.

Si: Apply silicone grease (ex. PBC grease).

2T: Apply 2-stroke oil.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Fuel System

Fuel Hose and Connection Inspection

If the motorcycle is not properly handled, the inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A].

Check the fuel hose.

Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks [B], bulges [C] or ozone cracks [D] are noticed.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-11

Check that the fuel hose [A] is securely connected and clamps [B] are tightened correctly.

Route the hose according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter.

Avoid sharp bending, kinking, flattening or twisting, and route the fuel hose with a minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be obstructed.

Replace the fuel hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.

Throttle Grip (Throttle Cable) Free Play Inspection

Check throttle grip free play by lightly turning the throttle grip [A] back and forth [B].

Throttle Grip Free Play

Standard: 2

3 mm (0.08

0.12 in.)

If the free play is improper, adjust the throttle cable.

Check that the throttle grip moves smoothly from full open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and completely in all steering positions by the return spring.

If the throttle grip does not return properly, check the throttle cable 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 increase, check the throttle cable free play and the cable routing.

Throttle Grip (Throttle Cable) Free Play

Adjustment

Pull the rubber boot [A] of the upper end of the throttle cable [B].

Loosen the locknuts [C] at the upper end of the throttle cable.

Turn the throttle cable adjuster [D] until 2

3 mm (0.08

0.12 in.) of throttle grip play is obtained.

Tighten the locknut and install the rubber boot.

2-12 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

If the throttle cable free play cannot be adjusted with the upper end of the throttle cable, use the cable adjuster [A]

• at the carburetor.

Pull the rubber boot [B] of the carburetor.

Loosen the locknuts [C] at the carburetor.

Turn the throttle cable adjuster until 2

3 mm (0.08

0.12

in.) of throttle grip play is obtained.

Tighten the locknut and install the rubber boot.

If the throttle grip free play cannot be adjusted with the adjuster, replace the throttle cable.

Turn the handlebars from side to side while idling the engine. If idle speed varies, the throttle cable may be poorly routed or it may be damaged.

WARNING

Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed or damaged cable could result in an unsafe riding condition.

Follow the service manual to make sure to correct any of these conditions.

Idle Speed (Carburetor) Adjustment

Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

Turn in the air screw [A] until it seats lightly.

Back it out the specified number of turns.

Air Screw

Standard:

KX85C/D 1 1/2 turns out

KX100F 1 7/8 turns out

NOTICE

Do not force the air screw beyond the fully seated position, or the adjusting mechanism may be damaged.

Turn the idle adjusting screw [B] 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.

With the engine idling, turn the handlebars to both sides.

If handlebars movement changes the idle speed, the throttle cable may be improperly adjusted or incorrectly routed, or it may be 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 cable could result in an unsafe riding condition.

Follow the service manual to make sure to correct any of these conditions.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Air Cleaner Element Cleaning and Inspection

NOTE

In dusty areas, the element should be cleaned more frequently than recommended interval.

After riding through rain or on muddy roads, the element should be cleaned immediately.

Since repeated cleaning opens the pores of the element, replace it with a new one in accordance with the

Periodic Maintenance Chart. Also, if there is a break in the element material or any other damage to the element, replace the element with a new one.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-13

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.

Remove:

Seat (see Seat Removal in the Frame chapter)

Wing Bolt [A]

Air Cleaner Element [B]

Stuff a clean, lint-free towel into the air cleaner duct so no dirt is allowed to enter the carburetor.

Wipe out the inside of the air cleaner housing with a clean damp towel.

NOTICE

Check inside of the inlet tract and carburetor for dirt. If dirt is present, clean the inlet tract and carburetor thoroughly. You may also need to replace the element and seal the housing and inlet tract.

Separate the element [A] from the frame [B].

2-14 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Clean the element [A] in a bath of a high flash-point solvent using a soft bristle brush.

Squeeze it dry in a clean towel [A]. Do not wring the element [B] or blow it dry; the element can be damaged.

Check all parts of the element for visible damage.

If any parts of the element are damaged, replace them.

After cleaning, saturate the element with a high-quality foam-air-filter oil, squeeze out the excess, then wrap it in a clean towel and squeeze it as dry as possible.

Be careful not to tear the sponge filter.

Assemble the element.

Remove the towel from the air cleaner duct.

Apply grease [A] to all connections and screw holes in the air cleaner housing and inlet tract.

Install the element onto its frame, and coat the element lip and lip seat with a thick layer of all-purpose grease to assure a complete seal.

Fit the projection [A] of the air cleaner element [B] with the groove of the air cleaner housing.

Tighten the wing bolt [C].

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Fuel System Clean

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-15

Turn the fuel tap to the “OFF” position.

Place a suitable container beneath the carburetor drain plug [A].

Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the float bowl and check for water or dirt in the fuel.

If any water or dirt comes out, clean the carburetor, fuel

• tap and fuel tank.

Replace the drain plug O-ring with a new one.

NOTE

Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient temperature).

Lean the motorcycle slightly until the radiator cap is level to the ground so that the radiator cap is located uppermost in order to exhaust the air accumulated in the radiator.

Remove the radiator cap [A].

NOTE

Remove the radiator cap in two steps. First turn the cap counterclockwise to the first stop and wait there for a few seconds. Then push down and turn it further in the same direction and remove the cap.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Check the coolant level. The coolant level [A] should be at the bottom of the radiator filler neck [B].

If the coolant level is low, add coolant through the radiator filler opening to the bottom of the radiator filler neck.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17

Recommended Coolant

Permanent type antifreeze (soft water and ethylene glycol plus corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminum engines and radiators)

Water and Coolant Mixture Ratio

Soft Water: 50%

Antifreeze: 50%

Freezing Point: –35°C (–31°F)

Total Amount: 0.57 L (0.60 US qt.)

NOTICE

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.

Install the radiator cap.

NOTE

The radiator cap must be installed in two steps. First turn the cap clockwise to the first stop. Then push down on it and turn it the rest of the way.

Coolant Deterioration Inspection

Visually inspect the coolant.

If whitish cotton-like wafts are observed, aluminum parts in the cooling system are corroded. If the coolant is brown, iron or steel parts are rusting. In either case, flush the cooling system.

If the coolant gives off an abnormal smell, check for a cooling system leak. It may be caused by exhaust gas leaking into the cooling system.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Piston/Cylinder Clearance Inspection

The piston-to-cylinder clearance is measured whenever a piston or cylinder is replaced with a new one. The standard piston-to-cylinder clearance must be adhered to whenever the cylinder is replaced.

If only a piston is replaced, the clearance may exceed the standard slightly. But it must be within the standard, in order to avoid piston seizure.

The most accurate way to find the piston clearance is by making separate piston and cylinder diameter measurements and then computing the difference between the two values. Measure the piston diameter as just described, and measure the cylinder diameter at the very bottom of the cylinder.

WARNING

A loose axle nut can lead to an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Tighten the axle nut to the proper torque and install a new cotter pin.

Check the rear brake effectiveness.

NOTE

In wet and muddy conditions, mud sticks to the chain and sprockets resulting in an overly tight chain, and the chain may break. To prevent this, adjust the chain to 64

74 mm (2.5

2.9 in.) of slack whenever necessary.

Drive Chain Lubrication

The chain should be lubricated with a lubricant which will both prevent the exterior from rusting and also absorb shock and reduce friction in the interior of the chain.

If the chain is especially dirty, it should be washed in diesel oil or kerosene, and afterward soaked in a heavy oil. Shake the chain while it is in the oil so that oil will penetrate into the inside of each roller.

An effective, good quality lubricant specially formulated for chains is best for regular chain lubrication.

If a special lubricant is not available, a heavy oil such as

SAE90 is preferred to a lighter oil because it will stay on the chain longer and provide better lubrication.

Apply oil to the sides of the rollers so that oil will penetrate into the rollers and bushings.

Wipe off any excess oil.

Brake Fluid Change

WARNING

When working with the disc brake, observe the pre-

cautions listed below.

Never reuse old brake fluid.

Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has been open for a long time.

Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for use in the brake. This lowers the brake fluid boiling point and could cause the brake to be ineffective.

It may also cause the rubber brake parts to deteriorate.

Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the fluid.

Don’t change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.

Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning of the 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 difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.

When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them.

Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high flash-point solvent.

Do not use one which will leave an oily residue.

Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.

Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely wiped up immediately.

If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM

Throttle Grip and Cable

If the throttle grip has excessive free play due to cable stretch or misadjustment, there will be a delay in throttle response. Also, the throttle valve may not open fully at full throttle. On the other hand, if the throttle grip has no play, the throttle will be hard to control, and the idle speed will be erratic. Check the throttle grip play periodically in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart, and adjust the play if necessary.

The throttle cable routing is shown in Cable, Wire, and

Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter.

1.13 mm (0.0445 in.)

If any of the groove widths exceeds the service limit, replace the piston.

Piston Ring Thickness Inspection

Measure the thickness at several points around the ring with a micrometer.

Piston Ring Thickness

Standard: 0.97

0.99 mm (0.038

0.039 in.)

Service Limit: 0.90 mm (0.035 in.)

If any of the measurements is less than the service limit, replace the ring.

NOTE

When using new ring in a used piston, check for uneven groove wear. The ring should fit perfectly parallel to the groove sides. If not, replace the piston.

Piston Ring End Gap Measurement

Place the piston ring [A] inside the cylinder, using the piston to locate the ring squarely in place. Set it close to the bottom of the cylinder, where cylinder wear is low.

Measure the gap [B] between the ends of the ring with a thickness gauge.

Piston Ring End Gap

Standard: 0.30

0.50 mm (0.012

0.020 in.)

Transmission Oil

In order for the transmission and clutch to function properly, always maintain the transmission oil at the proper level and change the oil periodically.

WARNING

Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated transmission oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure, accident, and injury. Check the oil level before each use and change the oil and filter according to the periodic maintenance chart.

Oil Level Inspection

Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.

If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several minutes until the oil settles.

Check that the oil level comes up in the middle [A] of the oil level inspection window [B] on the right engine cover.

If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil through the oil filler opening [C] using a syringe or some other suitable device.

If the oil level is too low, add the correct amount of oil.

Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.

NOTE

If the transmission oil type and make are unknown, use any brand of the specified oil to top up the level in preference to running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your earliest convenience, change the oil completely.

Transmission Oil Change

Refer to the Transmission Oil Change in the Periodic

Maintenance chapter.

Bearings/Oil Seals

Bearing Replacement

NOTICE

Do not remove the ball or needle bearings unless it is necessary. Removal may damage them.

Using a press or puller, remove the ball bearing and/or needle bearings.

NOTE

In the absence of the above mentioned tools, satisfactory results may be obtained by heating the case to approximately 93°C (200°F) max, and tapping the bearing in or out.

NOTICE

Do not heat the case with a torch. This will warp the case. Soak the case in oil and heat the oil.

Using a press and the bearing driver set [A], install the new ball bearing until it stops at the bottom of its housing.

The new needle bearings must be pressed into the crankcase so that the end is flush with the end of the hole.

Special Tool - Bearing Driver Set: 57001-1129

Bearing Wear Inspection

NOTICE

Do not remove the bearings for inspection. Removal may damage them.

Inspect the ball bearings.

Since the ball bearings are made to extremely close tolerances, the wear must be judged by feel rather than measurement.

Clean each bearing in a high flash-point solvent, dry it (do not spin the bearing while it is dry), and oil it with engine oil.

Spin [A] the bearing by hand to check its condition.

If the bearing is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has any rough spots, replace it.

8-26 ENGINE BOTTOM END/TRANSMISSION

Bearings/Oil Seals

Inspect the needle bearings.

The rollers in a needle bearing normally wear very little, and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring, inspect the bearing for abrasion, color change, or other damage.

If there is any doubt as to the condition of a needle bearing, replace it.

Oil Seal Inspection

Inspect the oil seals.

Replace the oil seal if the lips are deformed, discolored

(indicating that the rubber has deteriorated), hardened or otherwise damaged.

BRAKES 11-9

11-10 BRAKES

Brake Fluid

WARNING

When working with the disc brake, observe the pre-

cautions listed below.

Never reuse old brake fluid.

Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has been open for a long time.

Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for use in the brake. This lowers the brake fluid boiling point and could cause the brake to be ineffective.

It may also cause the rubber brake parts to deteriorate.

Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the fluid.

Don’t change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.

Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning of the 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 difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.

When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them.

Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high flash-point solvent.

Do not use one which will leave an oily residue.

Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.

Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely wiped up immediately.

If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM

THE BRAKE LINE.

Brake Fluid Level Inspection

Refer to the Brake Fluid Level Inspection in the Periodic

Maintenance chapter.

Brake Fluid Change

Refer to the Brake Fluid Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Brake Fluid

Brake Line Bleeding

The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient so that almost all the movement of the brake lever or pedal is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air, however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake lines, brake lever or pedal movement will be partially used in compressing the air. This will make the lever or pedal feel spongy, and there will be a loss in braking power.

WARNING

Air in the brake lines diminish braking performance and can cause an accident resulting in injury or death. If the brake lever has a soft or "spongy" feeling mushy when it is applied, there might be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective. Do not operate the vehicle and service the brake system immediately.

Level the brake fluid reservoir.

Front Brake Reservoir

Remove:

Brake Reservoir Cap Screws [A]

Reservoir Cap [B]

Diaphragm

Check that there is plenty of fluid in the reservoir.

Slowly pump the brake lever several times until no air bubbles rise up from the bottom of the reservoir.

Bleed the air completely from the master cylinder by this operation.

Rear Brake Reservoir

Remove:

Rear Brake Reservoir Mounting Bolt [A] and Washer

Brake Reservoir [B]

NOTE

The procedure to bleed the front brake line is as follows.

Bleeding the rear brake line is the same as for the front brake.

BRAKES 11-11

11-12 BRAKES

Brake Fluid

Remove the rubber cap [A] from the bleed valve on the caliper.

Attach a clear plastic hose [B] to the bleed valve on the caliper, and run the other end of the hose into a container.

Bleed the brake line and caliper as follows:

Repeat this operation until no more air can be seen coming out into the clear plastic hose.

1. Pump the brake lever until it becomes hard, and apply the brake and hold it [A].

2. Quickly open and close [B] the bleed valve while holding the brake applied.

3. Release the brake [C].

NOTE

The fluid level must be checked often during the bleeding operation and replenished with fresh brake fluid as necessary. If the fluid in the reservoir runs almost out any time during bleeding operation, the bleeding operation must be done over again from the beginning since air will have entered the line.

Tap the brake hose lightly from the caliper to the reservoir for easier bleeding.

Remove the clear plastic hose.

Tighten the bleed valve, and install the rubber cap.

Torque - Bleed Valve: 7.8 N·m (0.80 kgf·m, 69 in·lb)

Check the fluid level (see Brake Fluid Level Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Front Brake Reservoir

After bleeding is done, check the brake for good braking power, no brake drag, and no fluid leakage.

WARNING

After servicing, it takes several applications of the brake lever or pedal before the brake pads contact the disc, which could result in increased stopping distance and cause an accident resulting in injury or death. Do not attempt to ride the motorcycle until a firm brake lever or pedal is obtained by pumping the lever or pedal until the pads are against the disc.

Caliper Disassembly/Assembly

Refer to the Caliper Rubber Parts Replacement in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Fluid Seal Damage Inspection

The fluid seal(s) [A] around the piston maintains the proper pad/disc clearance. If this seal is not in good condition, pad wear will increase, and constant pad drag on the disc will raise brake and brake fluid temperature.

Replace the fluid seal(s) under any of the following conditions.

Fluid leakage around the pad

Brakes overheat

There is a large difference in piston side pad and another side pad wear.

The seal is stuck to the piston.

Precautions

There are numbers of important precautions that are musts when servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe all the rules below.

The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such a shock to the parts can damage them.

To prevent damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect any electrical connections while the engine is running.

Troubles may involve one or in some cases all items.

Never replace a defective part without determining what

CAUSED the failure. If the failure was caused by some other item or items, they too must be repaired or replaced, or the new replacement will soon fail again.

Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine leads for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor leads and bad connections will affect electrical system operation.

Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold

(at room temperature).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 15-7

15-8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Electrical Wiring

Wiring Inspection

Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying, etc.

If any wiring is poor, replace the stator coil.

Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion, dirt, and damage.

If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it is damaged, replace stator coil.

Check the wiring for continuity.

Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which is suspected of being a problem.

Connect a tester between the ends of the leads.

If the tester does not read about 0 Ω, the lead is defective.

Replace the stator coil if necessary.

Measure the crankshaft sensor air gap (see Crankshaft

Sensor Air Gap Adjustment).

Install the removed parts (see appropriate chapters).

Run the leads according to the Cable, Wire, and Hose

Routing section in the Appendix chapter.

Flywheel Magneto Inspection

There are three types of magneto problems: short, open

(wire burned out), or loss in flywheel magnetism. A short or open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low output, or no output at all. A loss in flywheel magnetism, which may be caused by dropping or hitting the flywheel, or just by aging, will result in low output.

Magneto Output Voltage Check

Check the magneto output voltage, do the following procedures.

Remove the left shroud (see Shroud Removal/Installation in the Frame chapter).

Remove the CDI unit [A].

Do not disconnect the CDI unit connector [B].

Connect the digital meter [C] with the needle adapter set as shown in the table.

Start the engine.

WARNING

To avoid a serious burn, never touch the hot expansion chamber or engine during inspection.

Run it at the rpm given in the table.

Note the voltage readings.

Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001-1457

Install the spark plug cap [A] as shown.

45° [B]

Front [C]

Connect the primary lead connector.

Pull up the spark plug cap lightly to make sure of the installation of the spark plug cap.

Ignition Coil Inspection

Measuring Arcing Distance

The most accurate test for determining the condition of the ignition coil is made by measuring arcing distance using

• the coil tester for the 3-needle method.

Remove the ignition coil (see Ignition Coil Removal).

Measure the arcing distance using the coil tester [A].

Connect the ignition coil (with the spark plug cap left installed on the spark plug lead) [B] to the tester and measure the arcing distance.

WARNING

To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the coil or lead.

If the distance reading is less than the specified value, the ignition coil or spark plug cap is defective.

3 Needle Arcing Distance

Standard: 7 mm (0.28 in.) or more

To determine which part is defective, measure the arcing distance again with the spark plug cap removed from the spark plug lead.

If the arcing distance is subnormal as before, the trouble is with the ignition coil itself. If the arcing distance is now normal, the trouble is with the spark plug cap.

Ignition System

Measuring Coil Resistance

If the arcing tester is not available, the coil can be checked for a broken or badly shorted winding with a digital meter.

However, the digital meter cannot detect layer shorts and shorts resulting from insulation breakdown under high volt-

• age.

Remove the ignition coil (see Ignition Coil Removal).

Measure the primary winding resistance [A] as follows.

Connect the digital meter between the coil terminals.

Measure the secondary winding resistance [B] as follows.

Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug lead.

Connect the digital meter between the spark plug lead and the ground lead terminal.

Ignition Coil Winding Resistance

Primary Windings: 0.36

0.48 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

Secondary Windings: 5.4

7.4 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)

If the digital meter does not read as specified, replace the ignition coil.

If the digital meter reads as specified, the ignition coil windings are probably good. However, if the ignition system still does not perform as it should after all other components have been checked, test replace the coil with one known to be good.

Check the spark plug lead for visible damage.

If the spark plug lead is damaged, replace the ignition coil.
