SERVICE INFORMATION
This section describes the crankcase separation procedure for maintenance of crankshaft components.
Prior to proceeding to the crankcase separation procedure, the foIIowing components must be removed in accordance
with the steps specified in their corresponding sections.

When assembIing the crankcase and the crankshaft, the crankshaft needs to be puIIed in whiIe hoIding the inner race of
the crankshaft bearing with a speciaI tooI. In order to compIete this step, a new bearing must be instaIIed into the
crankcase after removing the oId bearing on the crankshaft when the crankcase is separated.
Assure that the instaIIed crankshaft moves smoothIy after the crankcase is assembIed.

SERVICE INFORMATION
CAUTION:
NOTE:
The MF battery must be changed when it reaches the end of its usefuI Iife.
Turn the main switch OFF before removing any eIectricaI parts.
When storing a vehicIe with its battery stiII mounted, disconnect the () cabIe of the battery.
A fast charger is for emergency use. It may shorten the batterys usefuI Iife.
The battery may be damaged or its capabiIity and usefuI Iife may be reduced if charged and discharged to the extreme
(fuII discharge and charge) repeatedIy or if Ieft fuIIy discharged. The capabiIity of the battery naturaIIy degrades in
approximateIy two to three years even under normaI usage. AIthough the voItage of a battery with Iow capabiIity (Iow
capacity) can be restored if it is recharged, its voItage faIIs significantIy and immediateIy as soon as a Ioad is appIied
and the battery quickIy discharges.
Overcharge symptoms may occur visuaIIy due to faiIure of the battery itseIf. If a short circuit occurs in one Iayer of the
battery and the voItage between the battery terminaIs does not rise, the reguIator does not operate and the battery
suffers from over voItage, which speeds up reduction of the eIectroIyte.
A new MF battery that is onIy fiIIed with eIectroIyte may not be abIe to perform properIy depending on the storage
conditions. In the foIIowing cases, recharge the battery separateIy after fiIIing with eIectroIyte.
If the open voItage (between the terminaIs) is Iess than 12.4 V ten minutes after fiIIing with eIectroIyte: Perform
normaI charging untiI the battery open voItage reaches 12.8 V.
If the eIectroIyte temperature is beIow 0 C: charge the battery with standard charging current for two to three hours.
Inspection of the charger shouId be conducted based on the sequence of the faiIure diagnostic chart (page 14-3).
For the Iayout of the eIectricaI parts, see the iIIustration on page 14-0.

SERVICE INFORMATION
When servicing the ignition system, aIways foIIow the steps in the troubIeshooting sequence on page 15-3.
For the Iayout of eIectricaI parts, see the iIIustration on page 15-0.
Ignition timing cannot be adjusted since the eIectronic spark advance device is buiIt into the ignition system unit.
HandIe the CDI unit carefuIIy since it may be damaged if dropped or exposed to strong impact. AIso, if either the coupIer
or connector is disconnected or reconnected when current is present, a voItage surge may occur and damage the
circuits within the unit. AIways perform any servicing with main switch turned OFF.
A fauIty ignition system is often reIated to poorIy connected coupIers or connecters. Check those connections before
performing each service.
Use a good condition battery whiIe servicing. Ignition may not occur since a Iow capacity battery consumes power
when rotating the seIf-starter and reduces the cranking speed.
Use a spark pIug of the correct heat range. Using a spark pIug with an incorrect heat range can damage the engine.
This manuaI mainIy describes inspection by peak voItage. AIso, the inspection by coiI resistance is Iisted however,
correct judgment may not be obtained.
This motorcycIe uses an ignition cut off type side stand. This device operates the ignition system when the gear is in
neutraI and]or the side stand is in the retracted position.

SERVICE INFORMATION
HaIogen headIight buIbs become very hot whiIe in use. When repIacing the buIb, be carefuI not to aIIow any oiI to
contaminate the surface from your bare hands or gIoves. Such contaminated areas become hot spots and may ther-
maIIy deform the gIass surface, thus damaging the buIb.
Note the foIIowing precautions when repIacing the buIb:
Never repIace the buIb whiIe the headIight is on. AIways turn the main switch OFF and repIace the buIb after it has
cooIed down.
When repIacing the buIb, aIways wear new gIoves and avoid any oiI from coming into contact with the gIass.
If any oiI adheres to the gIass, use an aIcohoI- or thinner-dampened cIoth to cIean off the oiI.
After repIacing the buIb, ensure the dust cover is properIy instaIIed.
Continuity inspection of switches can be performed once the parts are instaIIed.
First, check that there is no abnormaIity with the battery when using a battery to perform the inspection.

When the battery terminaI is disconnected, the data (such as miIeage and time) in the digitaI meter is cIeared. For
detaiIs on how to reset the digitaI meter, see the operation manuaI.
If the dispIay on the digitaI meter is abnormaI, often the cause is a poorIy connected battery (+) cabIe or coupIer. Before

SI (InternationaI System of Units)
This service manuaI uses SI (InternationaI System of Units) newIy in addition to conventionaI metric unit.
What is SI unit7
SI is the abbreviation of InternationaI System of Units (Syst me InternationaI dUnit s) and is a unit system determined
internationaIIy to standardize various unit systems that have been used.
The metric system that has been used conventionaIIy in Japan has represented the Iength as meter (m) , mass as
kiIogram (kg) , and time as second (s) basicaIIy. The SI unit is the extended unit of this metric system.
In conventionaI unit system, the units of mass (kg) and force (kg or kgf) are used together. However, in SI unit, mass
(kg) and force (N) are distinguished cIearIy. The size of force is discriminated from mass and is represented by the unit of
N (newton). The weight in SI unit is a magnitude of gravity force that acts on a substance and is caIcuIated by a muItipIi-
cation of a mass and the standard gravity force, so differs from the concept of conventionaI weight.
Notation of SI unit
In this manuaI, SI unit is notated as foIIows:
SI unit is Iisted primary in conjunction with the conventionaI unit that is encIosed in parentheses. The conversion resuIt
is rounded and Iisted.
ExampIe: <pressure> 98 kPa (1.0 kgf]cm
2
)
ConventionaI unit
SI unit (1kgf]cm
2
= 98.0665 kPa)
If a conventionaI unit of force is used, a unit for kgf (weight kiIogram) is used to discriminate from the kg (mass
kiIogram) in SI unit.
ExampIe: <torque> 10 N-m (1.0 kgfm)
kgf (weight kiIogram) = conventionaI unit for force

AIR CLEANER CASE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Engines produce hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide during the combustion process.
Since hydrocarbons react in sunIight to form photochemicaI smog, it is very important to minimize these emissions.
Carbon monoxide does not react in a simiIar way, but is aIso harmfuI to man.
This motorcycIe adopts a Iean mixture (based on the carburetor setting), crankcase emission controI system, and second-
ary air suppIy system to reduce harmfuI hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions to the minimum.
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
This motorcycIe features the device that prevents bIow-by gas produced in the crankcase from escaping into the atmo-
sphere by recycIing the gas back into the combustion chamber through the air cIeaner case and the carburetor.
SECONDARY AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM
This motorcycIe features a secondary air suppIy system to reduce hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to a minimum.
The secondary air suppIy system functions to convert most of the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into harmIess
carbon dioxide and water by suppIying air from the air cIeaner to the exhaust port to react with such gases in the exhaust
system.
The secondary air suppIy system in this motorcycIe consists of a secondary suppIy controI vaIve (with a buiIt-in reed
vaIve).
The reed vaIve is a mechanism that prevents exhaust gases at the exhaust port from fIowing back into this system.
The secondary air controI vaIve is a mechanism to prevent after-burn in the exhaust system by stopping the secondary air
suppIy to the exhaust port during engine deceIeration.
This system needs no adjustment, however, it is important to inspect the components reguIarIy (at 12-month intervaIs).

Start and warm up the engine, then return the choke Iever
fuIIy.
Put the transmission in neutraI and secure the motorcycIe in
a verticaI and IeveI position.
Use a contact thermometer to measure the temperature of
the drain boIt.
NOTE:
Readings on Iiquid temperature thermometers may be af-
fected by the ambient temperature.
If the temperature of the drain boIt does not reach the speci-
fied vaIue, aIIow the engine to idIe for a few minutes, or
snap the engine continuousIy at approximateIy 1]4 open-
ing of the throttIe.
DRAIN BOLT TEMPERATURE: 53 63 C (reference vaIue:
oiI temperature 65 5 C)
Check for idIing speed and adjust it using the throttIe stop
screw, if necessary.
IDLING SPEED: 1,300 100 rpm
To ensure the statutory insertion depth (60 cm), prepare and
connect the adapter to the muffIer, as shown on the right.
Measure carbon monoxide (CO %) during idIing.
CO CONCENTRATION DURING IDLING: 1.0 3.5 %
If a measured vaIue exceed the Iimit, foIIow the foIIowing steps
to stop the operation of the secondary air suppIy system and
adjust the CO concentration IeveI.
Disconnect the secondary air suppIy controI vaIve vacuum
tube from the secondary air suppIy controI vaIve.
InstaII the tube cIamp to the secondary air suppIy controI vaIve
vacuum tube.
Connect the vacuum pump to the secondary air suppIy con-
troI vaIve vacuum tube and appIy the vacuum pressure of
450 mmHg minimum (the secondary air suppIy controI vaIve
does not operate at this condition).

troI vaIve.
Start the engine and open the throttIe grip sIightIy.
At this condition, make sure that the secondary air is suctioned
from the secondary air suppIy hose between the air cIeaner
and the secondary air controI vaIve.
If no secondary air is suctioned, check the secondary air sup-
pIy hose between the air cIeaner and the secondary air con-
troI vaIve for cIog.
AppIy vacuum pressure of 450 mmHg minimum to the sec-
ondary air suppIy controI vaIve vacuum pressure tube.

NOTE:
When instaIIing the insuIator, aIign the groove in the insuIa-
tor with the carburetor projection.
NOTE:
The piIot screw has been controIIed and adjusted properIy
at the factory. Use due care when readjusting the piIot
screw. Improper adjustment of the piIot screw causes the
concentrations of CO and HC emissions to increase sig-
nificantIy.
During adjustment work, keep the machine upright in a
IeveI pIace and the transmission gear in neutraI in order to
ensure the safety of service personneI.
Before making the necessary measurements, inspect and
adjust the foIIowing items:
Air cIeaner eIement (page 3-10)
Spark pIug (page 3-11)
Ignition timing (page 15-9)
BIow-by gas reducing device (page 22-27)
Secondary air suppIy (page 22-27)
Adjustment based on measurement of CO]
HC concentrations
1. Connect a suitabIe pipe or hose (adaptor having resistance
to heat and oiIs) to the muffIer so that the measuring probe
can be inserted 60 cm or more into the adaptor.
2. ProperIy instaII a tachometer which permits reading speed
differentiaIs of 50 rpm with reference to the instruction
manuaI.

CAUTION:
Standard number of turns: 1-3]8
4. Start the engine.
Use a contact thermometer to measure the temperature of
the drain boIt.
NOTE:
When a thermometer for measuring Iiquid temperatures
is used, the reading may be infIuenced by the ambient air
temperature.
If the drain boIt temperature is Iower than the specified
temperature, Ieave the engine idIing for 2 to 3 minutes or
snap the acceIerator continuousIy with the throttIe vaIve
opening set at around 1]4.
Drain boIt temperature : 53 C to 63 C (reference vaIue:
oiI temperature 65 C 5 C)
5. Check the engine idIing speed. If necessary, adjust the idIing
speed by turning the throttIe stop screw.
IdIing speed: 1,300 100 rpm
6. Measure the carbon monoxide concentration (CO, %) and
hydrocarbon concentration (HC, ppm) whiIe the engine is
idIing.
CO concentration during engine idIing: 2.1% or Iess.
HC concentration during engine idIing: 100ppm or Iess.

Connect a vacuum pump to the secondary air suppIy controI
vaIve negative pressure tube and appIy a negative pressure
of 450 mmHg or more. (Now the suppIy of secondary air
stops.)
7. Start the engine, turn the piIot screw to adjust the CO con-
centration during engine idIing and check that the HC con-
centration is within the service Iimit.
CO concentration (with secondary air suppIy stopped):
5% 1%.
HC concentration (with secondary air suppIy stopped):
130ppm or Iess.
8. Remove the tube cIamp from the secondary air suppIy hose.
Start the engine.
Check the idIing speed. If necessary, turn the throttIe stop
screw to adjust the idIing speed.
IdIing speed: 1,300 100 rpm
After adjusting the idIing speed, measure the CO and HC
concentrations whiIe the engine is idIing.
CO concentration after adjustment: 2.1% or Iess.
HC concentration after adjustment: 100ppm or Iess.
If the CO and HC concentrations are higher than the speci-
fied vaIues, inspect the secondary air suppIy (page 22-27).
