Page 115 INSP BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING WARNING Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and contain electrolyte which is made of poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid. Therefore, always follow these preventive measures: Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
Page 116 INSP BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING NOTE: Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possi- ble to check the charge state of the battery by measuring the specific gravity of the electro- lyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be checked by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals.
Page 117 INSP BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING Å Check the charge of the battery, as shown in the charts and the following example. Example Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V Charging time = 6.5 hours Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30% Å...
Page 118 INSP BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING Before removing the battery charger lead clips from the battery terminals, be sure to turn off the battery charger. Make sure the battery charger lead clips are in full contact with the battery termi- nal and that they are not shorted. A cor- roded battery charger lead clip may generate heat in the contact area and a weak clip spring may cause sparks.

T U N SETTING EC700000 TUNING EC710000 ENGINE Carburetor setting The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on atmospheric conditions. Therefore, it is nec- essary to take into consideration the air pres- sure, ambient temperature, humidity, etc., when adjusting the carburetor. Perform a test run to check for proper engine performance (e.g., throttle response) and spark plug(-s) discoloration or fouling.
Page 320 T U N SETTING CAUTION: The carburetor is extremely sensitive to foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.). During installation, do not allow foreign matter to get into the carburetor. Always handle the carburetor and its components carefully. Even slight scratches, bends or damage to carbure- tor parts may prevent the carburetor from functioning correctly.

Page 322 T U N SETTING Pilot system The FLATCR carburetor is manufactured with a pilot screw. The pilot screw adjustment ranges from fully closed throttle to 1/4 open throttle. Main jet adjustment The richness of the air-fuel mixture at full throt- tle can be set by changing the main jet 1.
Page 323 T U N SETTING Pilot screw adjustment The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the throttle fully closed to 1/4 open can be set by turning the pilot screw 1. Turning in the pilot screw will make the mixture lean at low speeds, and turning it out will enrich it.

Page 330 T U N SETTING EC722011 Front fork setting The front fork setting should be made depend- ing on the rider’s feeling of an actual run and the circuit conditions. The front fork setting includes the following three factors: 1. Setting of air spring characteristics Change the fork oil level.
Page 331 T U N SETTING EC727020 Spring preload adjustment The spring preload is adjusted by installing the adjustment washer 1 between the fork spring 2 and damper rod 3. CAUTION: Do not install three or more adjustment washers for each front fork. WARNING Always adjust each front fork to the same setting.
Page 332 T U N SETTING 2. Use of stiff spring Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become weaker, resulting in lack of a sense of contact with the road surface or in a vibrating handlebar. To set a stiff spring: Change the rebound damping.

Page 335 T U N SETTING NOTE: If the machine is new and after it is broken in, the same set length of the spring may change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re- evaluation.
