  • Page 30 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17 BRAKE PADS The extent of brake pad wear can be checked by observing the grooved limit line 1 on the pad. When the wear exceeds the grooved limit line, replace the pads with new ones. ($5-44 and -54) Replace the brake pads as a set, otherwise braking per- formance will be adversely affected.
  • Page 31 2-18 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AIR BLEEDING THE BRAKE FLUID CIRCUIT Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by the master cylin- der and thus interferes with the full braking performance of the brake caliper.
  • Page 32: Tires

    PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-19 • Rear brake: The only difference between bleeding the front and rear brakes is that the rear master cylinder is actuated by a pedal. TIRES Inspect every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 6 months). TIRE TREAD CONDITION Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will decrease riding stability and consequently invite a dangerous situation.
  • Page 33: Steering

    2-20 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TIRE PRESSURE If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be ad- versely affected and tire wear will increase. Therefore, maintain the correct tire pressure for good roadability and a longer tire life. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.
  • Page 34: Front Fork

    PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-21 FRONT FORKS Inspect every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 12 months). Inspect the front fork for oil leakage, scoring or scratches on the outer surface of the inner tubes.

    FUEL SYSTEM FUEL SYSTEM The fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel valve, vacuum hose, fuel hose and carburetor assembly.

    FUEL SYSTEM FUEL VALVE When the engine is not operating, the fuel valve 1 is kept closed by the tension of the spring 2, which closes the fuel passageway and stops the flow of fuel to the carburetors. When the engine has started, negative pressure (vacuum) A is generated in the combustion chamber and reaches the diaphragm through a passage in the carburetor’s main bore and the vacuum hose.

    4-10 FUEL SYSTEM DIAPHRAGM AND PISTON OPERATION The carburetor is a variable-venturi type, whose venturi cross sectional area is increased or decreased automatically by the piston valve 1. The piston valve moves according to the negative pressure present on the downstream side of the venturi A. Negative pressure is admitted into the diaphragm chamber 2 through an orifice 3 provided in the piston valve 1.
  • Page 149: Slow System

    FUEL SYSTEM 4-11 SLOW SYSTEM This system supplies fuel during engine operation when the throttle valve 1 is closed or slightly opened. The fuel from the float chamber 2 is metered by the pilot jet 3 where it mixes with air coming in through the pilot air jet 4.
  • Page 150: Main System

    4-12 FUEL SYSTEM MAIN SYSTEM As the throttle valve 1 is opened, engine speed rises and negative pressure in the venturi A increases. This causes the piston valve 2 to move upward. The fuel in the float chamber 3 is metered by the main jet 4. The metered fuel enters the needle jet 5, mixes with the air admitted through the main air jet 6 and forms an emulsion.
  • Page 151: Starter (Enricher) System

    FUEL SYSTEM 4-13 STARTER (ENRICHER) SYSTEM Pulling the starter (enricher) plunger causes fuel to be drawn into the starter circuit from the float chamber 1. The starter jet 2 meters this fuel. The fuel then flows into the fuel pipe 3 and mixes with the air coming from the float chamber 1.
