Frequently Asked Questions - Eliminator 125 (2000) MITSUBISHI

What type of engine oil should I use for the Mitsubishi Eliminator 125?
Use API SE, SF or SG grade oil for early models (BN125-A1~A3) or API SH, SJ or SL with JASO MA for later models. Recommended viscosity is SAE 10W-40. Capacity is 1.4 L when engine is completely dry.
What is the recommended spark plug for this motorcycle?
The standard spark plug is NGK CR7E. For some models (BN125-A4~, US, CA), either NGK CR7E or U22ESR-N can be used. Gap should be 0.7-0.8 mm.
How do I adjust the valve clearance on the Eliminator 125?
Valve clearance must be checked when the engine is cold. Inlet clearance: 0.08-0.12 mm, exhaust: 0.15-0.19 mm. To adjust, loosen the locknut and turn the adjusting screw until correct clearance is achieved, then tighten locknut to 15 N·m.
What tire pressure should I use?
For loads up to 185 kg (408 lb): Front 150 kPa (21 psi), Rear 175 kPa (25 psi). For loads up to 155 kg (342 lb): Front 150 kPa (21 psi), Rear 175 kPa (25 psi). Check when tires are cold.
How do I adjust the drive chain slack?
Drive chain slack should be 25-40 mm (0.98-1.57 in). Adjust by loosening the rear axle nut and turning the chain adjusters on both sides equally. Tighten axle nut to 98 N·m after adjustment.
What is the correct idle speed?
The standard idle speed is 1300 ± 50 rpm. Adjust using the idle adjusting screw on the carburetor after the engine is thoroughly warmed up.
How do I change the engine oil?
Warm up the engine, then remove the oil drain plug (torque 18 N·m) to drain old oil. Replace the oil filter if needed. Refill with 1.1 L (filter not removed) or 1.2 L (filter removed) of recommended oil. Check level after running and waiting 2-3 minutes.
What brake fluid is required?
Use DOT4 brake fluid. Check level periodically and change every 2 years. Bleed the brake line if air is present.
How do I clean the air filter element?
Remove the air filter element, clean it in a high-flash-point solvent, dry it, then saturate with SAE 30 oil (SE, SF, or SG grade) and squeeze out excess. Replace if damaged.
What is the fuel tank capacity?
The fuel tank capacity is 13 liters (3.43 US gallons).

1. 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.

2. 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.

BeforeServicing

TighteningSequence

Generally, when installing apart with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tight them to as nugfit. Thentight them 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, tight the 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 ignition 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).

FuelHoseandConnectionInspection

The fuelhose is designed to be used throughout the motorcycle's lifewithout anymaintenance, however, if the motorcycle is not properly handled, the inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leaks [A] or the host of a vehicle. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System chapter) and check the fuel hose.

★Replacethefuelhoseifanyfraying,cracks[B]orbulges [C]arenoticed.
- Check that the hose is securely connected and clamps are tightened correctly.
