Task #15 - Carburetor Choke

Task #16 - Air Cleaner

26
The choke system uses a fuel enriching circuit
controlled by an SE valve (Starting Enrichment). The
choke knob on the left side of the motorcycle operates a
split cable that operates the enriching circuit of each
carburetor.
Check for smooth operation of the SE valve knob.
Check for any deterioration or damage to the valve
cable. If the operation is not smooth, then pull the
rubber cover away and lubricate the cable with a cable
lubricant or a light-weight oil. To adjust the friction, turn
the adjuster under the rubber cover. If you find that
there is an excessive "spring-back" on the cable, then
the cables may be routed wrong or binding, in which
case, you may have to remove the carbs and re-route
the cables if you can't get the knob to stay open for
starting.
The air cleaner should be replaced approximately every
19,000 km (12,000 miles). Change it sooner if you do a
lot of riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Also, if you are caught and have to do a long ride in
heavy rain, then afterward, you should pull the air
cleaning housing cover and wipe out the inside of the
case(4). I have found that water and mud can collect in
here during a long ride in rain.
Replace Air Cleaner:
1. Remove the six bolts(1) holding the cover(2) in place,
and remove the cover.
2. Pull out the air cleaner(3) and discard.
3. Clean out the inside of the case(4).
4. Install a new air cleaner.
5. Place the cover(2) back on and secure with the six
bolts(1).
