PERIODIC MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES This section describes the servicing procedures for each item of the Periodic Maintenance requirements. AIR CLEANER Clean every 3 months. If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be increased, with a resultant decrease in power output and an increase in fuel consumption.
Page 17
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE • Fill a wash pan a proper size with a non-flammable cleaning solvent. Immerse the air cleaner element in the cleaning solvent and wash it. • Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both hands to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the element or it tear.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE VALVE CLEARANCE Inspect initially at 1 month and every 6 months there- after. Excessive valve clearance results in valve noise and insufficient valve clearance results in valve damage and reduced power. Check the intake and exhaust valve clearances at the interval indicated above and adjust the valve clearances to specification, if necessary.

Major lubrication points are indicated below. 1 Steering shaft holder 2 Brake lever holder 3 Brake cable 4 Throttle cable 5 Drive chain...
2-28 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK The compression pressure reading of a cylinder is a good indicator of its internal condition. The decision to overhaul the cylinder is often based on the results of a compression test. Periodic mainte- nance records kept at your dealership should include compression readings for each maintenance service. Compression pressure: Standard: 1 500 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm², 213 psi) Limit: 1 300 kPa (13.0 kgf/cm², 185 psi)
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-29 INITIAL ENGAGEMENT AND CLUTCH LOCK-UP INSPECTION The LT-Z90 is equipped with a centrifugal type automatic clutch. To insure proper performance and longevity of the clutch assemblies it is essential that the clutches engage smoothly and gradually. Before checking the initial engagement and clutch lock-up two inspection checks must be performed to thoroughly check the operation of the drive train.
2-30 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CLUTCH LOCK-UP INSPECTION Perform this inspection to determine if the clutch is engaging fully and not slipping. • Connect a multi-circuit tester onto the spark plug high-tension code. • Start the engine. • Apply the front and rear brakes as firmly as possible. •...
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-31 OIL PRESSURE CHECK Check the engine oil pressure periodically. This will give a good indication of the condition of the moving parts. Oil pressure: 10 – 40 kPa (0.1 – 0.4 kgf/cm², 1.4 – 5.7 psi) at 3 000 r/min, Oil temp. at 60 °C (140 °F) If the oil pressure is lower or higher than the specification, the following causes may be considered.
