Page 364 GS500K3 (’03-MODEL) 19-15 Inspect the reservoir tank cap and diaphragm for damage. REASSEMBLY AND REMOUNTING Reassemble the master cylinder in the reverse order of removal and disassembly. Pay attention to the following points: * Wash the master cylinder components with fresh brake fluid before reassembly.
Page 365 19-16 GS500K3 (’03-MODEL) • Tighten the union bolt. (Brake hose routing: '7-16) & Brake hose union bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft) * The seal washers should be replaced with the new ones to prevent fluid leakage. * Bleed air from the system after reassembling the master cylinder.
Page 366: Ignition System
GS500K3 (’03-MODEL) 19-17 IGNITION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The fully transistorized ignition system consists of a signal generator, ignitor unit, ignition coils and spark plugs. The signal generator mounted at the right end of the crankshaft comprises the rotor tip and pickup coil. The induced signal in the signal generator is sent to wave-form arrangement circuit, and CPU receives this signal and calculates the best ignition timing from the signal of ceramic vibrator.
