2-28 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
•
Push the release lever [A] toward the front of the motor-
cycle until it becomes hard to turn.
○
At this time, the release lever should have the proper an-
gle shown.
60° [B]
If the angle is wrong, check the clutch and release parts
for wear.
WARNING
Be sure that the outer cable end at the clutch lever
is fully seated in the adjuster at the clutch lever, or
it could slip into place later, creating enough cable
play to prevent clutch disengagement.
•
After the adjustment, start the engine and check that the
clutch does not slip and that it releases properly.
Wheels/Tires
Air Pressure Inspection
•
Measure the tire air pressure with an air pressure gauge
[A] when the tires are cold (that is, when the motorcycle
has not been ridden more than a mile during the past 3
hours).
•
Install the air valve cap.
Adjust the tire air pressure according to the specifications
if necessary.
Air Pressure (when Cold)
Front:
Upto180kg(397lb)
250kPa(2.50kgf/cm²,36psi)
Rear:
Upto180kg(397lb)
290kPa(2.90kgf/cm²,42psi)
Wheel/Tire Damage Inspection
•
Remove any imbedded stones [A] or other foreign parti-
cles [B] from tread.
•
Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, and replace
the tire if necessary. Swelling or high spots indicate inter-
nal damage, requiring tire replacement.
•
Visually inspect the wheel for cracks, cuts and dents dam-
age.
If any damage is found, replace the wheel if necessary.
Tire Tread Wear Inspection
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more sus-
ceptible to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is
that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread
life (90% worn). So it is false economy and unsafe to use
the tires until they are bald.
•
Measure the tread depth at the center of the tread with a
depth gauge [A]. Since the tire may wear unevenly, take
measurement at several places.
If any measurement is less than the service limit, replace
the tire (see Tire Removal/Installation in the Wheels/Tires
chapter).
