- CrankcaseEmissionControlSystem
This system eliminates the lease of crank case vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are routed through an oil separator to the inlet side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the carburetionsystem.
- ExhaustEmissionControlSystem
This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this motorcycle. The fuel, ignition, and exhaust system so this motorcycle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutants levels.

TighteningSequence
Generally, when installing apart with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tightent hem to as nugfit. Thentightenthem according to the specified sequence to prevent casewar page or deformation which can lead to malfunction. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen allof them by about a quarter turn and then removethem. If these specified tightening sequence is not indicated, tightent he fasteners alternating diagonally.
Tightening Torque
Incorrect torque applied to a bolt, nut, or screw may lead to serious damage. Tighten fastener stothespecified torque using a good quality torque wrench. Often, the tightening sequence is followed twice - initial tightening and final tightening with torque wrench.
Force
Usecommonsenseduringdisassemblyandassembly, excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair damage. Whennecessary,removescrewsthathaveanon-permanentlockingagentappliedusinganimpactdriver. Useaplastic-facedmalletwhenevertappingisnecessary.
Gasket, O-ring
Hardening, shrinkage, or damage of both gaskets and O-ringsafterdisassembly can reduce sealing performance. Remove old gaskets and clean these sealing surfaces thoroughly so that nogasket material or other material remains. Install new gaskets and replace used O-rings when re-assembling.
LiquidGasket,LockingAgent
For application that require Liquid Gasketora Locking agent, clean the surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasketor locking agent. Donot apply them excessively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and causes serious damage.

TechnicalInformation-DC-CDI(DirectCurrent-CapacitorDischargeIgnitionSystem)
Description
○ UnliketheconventionalCDI, the DC-CDlusesabatteryinsteadofamagnetoasapowersource.
The DC-CDI powered by a battery generates strong ignitions parkeven at low engines speeds. The conventional CDI, which uses AC voltages supplied by an exciter coil, generates less ignitions spark at low engines speeds.
The DC-CDI has been built-in DC-DC converter which changes battery voltage or battery-changing voltage into high voltage AC. Even if the battery loses its charge, the DC-CDI can use battery-charging voltage.
TheDC-CDI doesn't have an exciter coil, a power consumer, therefore the battery is charged better.

Secondstep-thyristorconducts
Aftercharging, the crankshaft sensor and ignition timing controllers send at triggers signal to the gate through the cathode (K → G in the figure) in the thyristor. When this happens, the current flows from the cathodeto the anode (K → A) in the thyristor.
Thirdstep-SurgingcurrentintothePrimaryWinding
Whenthethyristorconducts, the chargestored in the capacitor is released suddenly, flowing through the primary winding, backthrough the ethyristortothecapacitor.

This sudden change in the primary current induces a primary voltage (counterelectromotive force) which is equal to the capacitor voltage (about 225V) but against the discharging current. The primary voltage induces a high secondary voltage in the secondary coil, generating spark plug gap. The secondary voltage multiplied by winding ratio (about 90:1) reaches about 20000V.
Finalstep-Thyristorresets
After the charge stored in the capacitor is completely released, the cathodeoanode voltage is removed in the thyroid or and the thyroid receptor stops conducting and automatically resets. Then, the DC-DC converter charges the capacitor again and operation return to first step.
The control of Ignition Timing
Sincetheignitiontimingiselectronicallyadvancedorretarded, thissystemhasnomechanicalpartssuchasacam orcontactbreakersandtherearenopartstowearoutand noperiodicmaintenanceisrequired. So, thereisneverany needtoadjustthetimingonceithasbeeninstalledcorrectly.
Generally, the spark plug must be fired at a proper crank angle before top dead center (BTDC).

-
Don'tleavethereservoircapofforanylengthof timetoavoidmoisturecontaminationofthefluid.
-
Don't changethe fluid in therain or when a strong wind is blowing.
-
Except forthediscpadsanddisc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, orethyl alcohol for cleaning brake parts. Donot use any other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be difficult to wash off completely and while eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.
-
When handling the discpadsordisc, be careful that nodiscbrakefluidoranyoilgetsonthem. Cleanoff any fluidorol that in advertently gets on the pads or disc with a high-flash points solvent. Donotuse one which will leave an oily residue. Replacethepads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.
-
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely washed away immediately.
-
If any of the brakeline fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM THE BRAKE LINE.

BatteryRemoval/Installation
- Remove:
RightSideCover(seeFramechapter) BatteryHolder
- Disconnectthebatterynegative(−)cable[A]first,and then the positive(+)cable[B]. Front[C]
- Wheninstallingthebattery,connectthepositive(+)cable [A]firstandthenthenegativecable[B].
CAUTION
If the batterycable is not correctly disconnected or connected, sparkscanariseate electrical connections, causing damage to electrical parts.
ElectrolyteSpecificGravityInspection
- Checkbatteryconditionbytestingthespecificgravityof theelectrolyteineachcellwithahydrometer[A].
○Readtheleveloftheelectrolyte[B]onthefloatingscale.
★ If the specific gravity is below 1.200, the battery need to be charged.
NOTE
○ Thespecificgravityoftheelectrolytevarieswith changesintemperature, sothespecificgravityreading mustbecorrectedforthetemperatureoftheelectrolyte.
○Celsius:Add0.007pointstoreadingforeach10°C (50°F)above20°C(68°F)orsubtract0.007pointsfor each10°Cbelow20°C(68°F).
○Fahrenheit:Add0.004pointstoreadingforeach-12°C (10°F)above10°C(68°F)orsubtract0.004pointsfor each-12°C(10°F)below10°C(68°F).
★ If the specific gravity of any of the cells is more than 0.050 away from any other reading, the battery will probably not accept a charge. It is generally best to replace the battery in this condition.
★ If the specific gravity of all the cells is 1.280 or more, the battery is fully charged.
When using the hydrometer, read the electrolyte level at the bottom of themeniscus (curved surface of the fluid).

- Setthechargingrateandtimeaccordingtothebattery conditionpreviouslydetermined,usingtheBatteryChargingRate/TimeTable.
- Checktheelectrolytelevelaftercharging.
CAUTION
Alwaysremovethebatteryfromthevehiclefor charging. If the battery is charged while still installed, battery electrolyte may spill and corrode the frame or other part of the vehicle. Donot use a high rate battery charger, asistypically employed data automotiveservices stations, unless the chargerrate can be reduced to the level required. Charging the battery at a rate higher than specified may ruin the battery. Charging at a high rate causes excess heat which can warp the plates and cause internal shorting. Higher-than-normal charging rates also cause the plate tested active material. Deposits will accumulate, and can cause internal shorting. If the temperature of the electrolyterises above 45°C (113°F) during charging, reduce the charging rate to lower the temperature, and increase charging time proportionately.

★ If the charging voltage is kept between the values given in the table, the charging system is considered to be working normally.
★ If the output voltage is much higher than the values specified in the table, theregulator/rectifier is defective or the regulator/rectifier leads are loose or open.
★If the charging voltage does not rise as the engine speed increases, then the regulator/rectifier is defective or the alternatoroutputisinsufficientforthe loads. Checkthe alternatorandregulator/rectifiertodeterminewhichpart isdefective.
