Always use the recommended fuel as stated below. Also, be sure to use new gasoline the day of a race.

Recommended fuel: Premium unleaded gasoline only with a research octane number of 95 or higher.
CAUTION:
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to the engine internal parts such as valves, piston rings, and exhaust system, etc.
NOTE:
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or higher octane grade.
WARNING
- For refueling, be sure to stop the engine and use enough care not to spill any fuel. Also be sure to avoid refueling close to a fire.
- Refuel after the engine, exhaust pipe, etc. have cooled off.
CARBURANT
Never start or run the engine in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous; they can cause loss of consciousness and death in a very short time. Always operate the machine in a well-ventilated area.
CAUTION:
- The carburetor on this machine has a built-in accelerator pump. Therefore, when starting the engine, do not operate the throttle or the spark plug will foul.
- Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine cannot be kick started when the throttle is open because the kick starter may kick back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/ fuel mixture may be too lean for the engine to start.
- Before starting the machine, perform the checks in the pre-operation check list.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE
- Inspect the coolant level.
- Turn the fuel cock to "ON".
- Shift the transmission into neutral.
- Fully open the cold starter knob ①.

PROCEDURE DE RODAGE
CLEANING AND STORAGE
EC1B1000
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning of your machine will enhance its appearance, maintain good overall performance, and extend the life of many components.
- Before washing the machine, block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water from entering. A plastic bag secured with a rubber band may be used for this purpose.
- If the engine is excessively greasy, apply some degreaser to it with a paint brush. Do not apply degreaser to the chain, sprockets, or wheel axles.
- Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose; use only enough pressure to do the job.
CAUTION:
Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and contamination of wheel bearings, front forks, brakes and transmission seals. Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers.
- After the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and a mild detergent. Use an old toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places.
- Rinse the machine off immediately with clean water, and dry all surfaces with a soft towel or cloth.
- Immediately after washing, remove excess water from the chain with a paper towel and lubricate the chain to prevent rust.
- Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.
- Automotive wax may be applied to all painted or chromed surfaces. Avoid combination cleaner-waxes, as they may contain abrasives.
- After completing the above, start the engine and allow it to idle for several minutes.
NETTOYAGE ET REMISAGE
NETTOYAGE
If your machine is to be stored for 60 days or more, some preventive measures must be taken to avoid deterioration. After cleaning the machine thoroughly, prepare it for storage as follows:
- Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the carburetor float bowl.
- Remove the spark plug, pour a tablespoon of SAE 10W-30 motor oil in the spark plug hole, and reinstall the plug. With the engine stop switch pushed in, kick the engine over several times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
- Remove the drive chain, clean it thoroughly with solvent, and lubricate it. Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic bag tied to the frame.
- Lubricate all control cables.
- Block the frame up to raise the wheels off the ground.
- Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
- If the machine is to be stored in a humid or salt-air environment, coat all exposed metal surfaces with a film of light oil. Do not apply oil to rubber parts or the seat cover.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before the machine is stored.

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, open the radiator cap by the following procedure:
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it.

The front fork requires careful attention. So it is recommended that the front fork be maintained at the dealers.
CAUTION:
To prevent an accidental explosion of air, the following instructions should be observed:
- The front fork with a built-in piston rod has a very sophisticated internal construction and is particularly sensitive to foreign material.
Use enough care not to allow any foreign material to come in when the oil is replaced or when the front fork is disassembled and reassembled.
- Before removing the base valves or front forks, be sure to extract the air from the air chamber completely.

AMORTISSEUR ARRIERE
This rear shock absorber is provided with a separate type tank filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas. To prevent the danger of explosion, read and understand the following information before handling the shock absorber.
The manufacturer can not be held responsible for property damage or personal injury that may result from improper handling.
- Never tamper or attempt to disassemble the cylinder or the tank.
- Never throw the rear shock absorber into an open flame or other high heat. The rear shock absorber may explode as a result of nitrogen gas expansion and/ or damage to the hose.
- Be careful not to damage any part of the gas tank. A damaged gas tank will impair the damping performance or cause a malfunction.
- Take care not to scratch the contact surface of the piston rod with the cylinder; or oil could leak out.
- Never attempt to remove the plug at the bottom of the nitrogen gas tank. It is very dangerous to remove the plug.
- When scrapping the rear shock absorber, follow the instructions on disposal.

SISTEMA SENSORE POSIZIONE FARFALLA

- The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on atmospheric conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to take into consideration the air pressure, ambient temperature, humidity, etc., when adjusting the carburetor.
- Perform a test run to check for proper engine performance (e.g., throttle response) and spark plug(-s) discoloration or fouling. Use these readings to determine the best possible carburetor setting.
NOTE:
It is recommended to keep a record of all carburetor settings and external conditions (e.g., atmospheric conditions, track/surface conditions, lap times) to make future carburetor setting easier.

WARNING
- The carburetor is a part of the fuel line. Therefore, be sure to install it in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable objects and any sources of fire.
- Never look into the carburetor intake. Flames may shoot out from the pipe if the engine backfires while it is being started. Gasoline may be discharged from the accelerator pump nozzle when the carburetor has been removed.
MISE AU POINT MOTEUR
- The carburetor is extremely sensitive to foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.). During installation, do not allow foreign matter to get into the carburetor.
- Always handle the carburetor and its components carefully. Even slight scratches, bends or damage to carburetor parts may prevent the carburetor from functioning correctly. Carefully perform all servicing with the appropriate tools and without applying excessive force.
- When the engine is stopped or when riding at no load, do not open and close the throttle unnecessarily. Otherwise, too much fuel may be discharged, starting may become difficult or the engine may not run well.
- After installing the carburetor, check that the throttle operates correctly and opens and closes smoothly.
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor settings
| Air temp. | Humidity | Air pressure (altitude) | Mixture | Setting |
| High | High | Low (high) | Richer | Leaner |
| Low | Low | High (low) | Leaner | Richer |
The air density (i.e., concentration of oxygen in the air) determines the richness or leanness of the air/fuel mixture. Therefore, refer to the above table for mixture settings.
That is:
- Higher temperature expands the air with its resultant reduced density.
- Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxygen in the air by so much of the water vapor in the same air.
- Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high altitude) reduces the density of the air.
ATTENTION:

Effects of the setting parts on the throttle valve opening
A Closed
Fully open
① Pilot screw/pilot jet
② Throttle valve cutaway
③ Jet needle
④ Main jet
Main system
The FLATCR carburetor has a primary main jet. This type of main jet is perfect for racing machines since it supplies an even flow of fuel, even at full load. Use the main jet and the jet needle to set the carburetor.
Pilot system
The FLATCR carburetor is manufactured with a pilot screw. The pilot screw adjustment ranges from fully closed throttle to 1/4 open throttle.
① Jet needle
② Pilot air jet
③ Needle jet
④ Main jet
⑤ Pilot jet
⑥ Pilot screw
Main jet adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture at full throttle can be set by changing the main jet ①.
| Standard main jet | #178 |
If the air-fuel mixture is too rich or too lean, the engine power will drop, resulting in poor acceleration.
Effects of changing the main jet (reference)

A Idle
Fully open
Pilot screw adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the throttle fully closed to 1/4 open can be set by turning the pilot screw ① . Turning in the pilot screw will make the mixture lean at low speeds, and turning it out will enrich it.
| Standard pilot screw position (example) | 1-7/8 * 2-1/8 |
- Except for USA and CDN
NOTE:
- If the engine idling speed fluctuates, turn the pilot screw only 1/2 of a turn in either direction.
- To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle opening, each machine's pilot screw has been individually set at the factory. Before adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and count the number of turns. Record this number as the factory-set number of turns out.

Effects of adjusting the pilot screw (reference)
A Idle
Fully open
① 2 turns out
② 3 turns out
(3) 2 - 1 / 2 turns out

Pilot jet adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the throttle open 1/4 or less can be set by adjusting the pilot jet ①.
| Standard pilot jet | #42 |
Effects of adjusting the pilot jet (reference)

A Idle
Fully open

Jet needle groove position adjustment
Adjusting the jet needle ① position affects the acceleration when the throttle is 1/8 to 3/4 open.
- Too rich at intermediate speeds
Rough engine operation is felt and the engine will not pick up speed smoothly. In this case, step up the jet needle clip by one groove and move down the needle to lean out the mixture.
- Too lean at intermediate speeds
The engine breathes hard and will not pick up speed quickly.
Step down the jet needle clip by one groove and move up the needle to enrich the mixture.
| Standard clip position | No.4 groove |
Effects of changing the jet needle groove position (reference)

A Idle
Fully open
① No.4 groove
② No.2 groove
③ No.3 groove
Jet needle adjustment
The jet needle is adjusted by changing it.
| Standard jet needle | OBEPQ |
The tapered sections of all jet needles have the same starting positions, but the needles are available with different straight-partion diameters.

Effects of changing the jet needle (reference)
(Diameter of the straight portion)
Changing the diameter of the straight portion adjusts the air-fuel mixture when the throttle is 1/8 to 1/4 open.

A Idle
Fully open
Relationship with throttle opening
The flow of the fuel through the carburetor main system is controlled by the main jet and then, it is further regulated by the area between the main nozzle and the jet needle.
The fuel flow relates to the diameter of the straight portion of the jet needle with the throttle 1/8 to 1/4 open and relates to the clip position with the throttle 1/8 to 3/4 open.
Therefore, the fuel flow is balanced at each stage of throttle opening by the combination of the jet needle straight portion diameter and clip position.

Leak jet adjustment (accelerator pump adjustment)
The leak jet ① is a setting part that adjusts the flow of fuel discharged by the accelerator pump. Since the accelerator pump operates only when throttle is open, the leak jet is used to adjust a fuel mixture ratio for quick throttle opening and is therefore different from other setting parts that adjust a fuel mixture for each throttle opening (each engine speed).
- The engine breathes hard in quick throttle opening.
Select a leak jet having lower calibrating No. than standard to enrich the mixture.
- Rough engine operation is felt in quick throttle opening.
Select a leak jet having higher calibrating No. than standard to lean out the mixture.

- This should be taken simply for an example. It is necessary to set the carburetor while checking the operating conditions of the engine.
Selection of the secondary reduction ratio (Sprocket)
Secondary
$$ \text {r e d u c t i o n} $$
$$ \text {N u m b e r o f r e a r w e l l s p r o c k e t t e e t h} $$
$$ = \frac {}{\text {N u m b e r o f d r i v e s p r o c k e t t e e t h}} $$
| Standard secondary reduction ratio | 49/13 (3.769) |
- It is generally said that the secondary gear ratio should be reduced for a longer straight portion of a speed course and should be increased for a course with many corners. Actually, however, as the speed depends on the ground condition of the day of the race, be sure to run through the circuit to set the machine suitable for the entire course.
- In actuality, it is very difficult to achieve settings suitable for the entire course and some settings may be sacrificed. Thus, the settings should be matched to the portion of the course that has the greatest effect on the race result. In such a case, run through the entire course while making notes of lap times to find the best balance; then, determine the secondary reduction ratio.
- If a course has a long straight portion where a machine can run at maximum speed, the machine is generally set such that it can develop its maximum revolutions toward the end of the straight line, with care taken to avoid the engine over-revving.
NOTE:
Riding technique varies from rider to rider and the performance of a machine also vary from machine to machine. Therefore, do not imitate other rider's settings from the beginning but choose your own setting according to the level of your riding technique.

Tire pressure
Tire pressure should be adjust to suit the road surface condition of the circuit.

Standard tire pressure: 100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm², 15 psi)
- Under a rainy, muddy, sandy, or slippery condition, the tire pressure should be lower for a larger area of contact with the road surface.

Extent of adjustment: 60 80 kPa (0.6 0.8 ~kgf / cm^2, 9.0 12 psi)
- Under a stony or hard road condition, the tire pressure should be higher to prevent a flat tire.

Extent of adjustment: 100 120 kPa (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf /cm ^2 , 15 ~ 18 psi)
The front fork setting should be made depending on the rider's feeling of an actual run and the circuit conditions.
The front fork setting includes the following three factors:
-
Setting of air spring characteristics
-
Change the fork oil amount.
-
Setting of spring preload
-
Change the spring.
-
Setting of damping force
-
Change the compression damping.
- Change the rebound damping.
The spring acts on the load and the damping force acts on the cushion travel speed.
Change in amount and characteristics of fork oil
Damping characteristic near the final stroke can be changed by changing the fork oil amount.

A
[mm (in)]
CAUTION:
Adjust the oil amount in 5cm^3 (0.2 Imp oz, 0.2 US oz) increments or decrements. Too small oil amount causes the front fork to produce a noise at full rebound or the rider to feel some pressure on his hands or body. Alternatively, too large oil amount will cause the air spring characteristics to have a tendency to be stiffer with the consequent deteriorated performance and characteristics. Therefore, adjust the front fork within the specified range.

Standard oil amount:
340 cm³
(12.0 Imp oz, 11.5 US oz)
Extent of adjustment:

Setting of spring after replacement
As the front fork setting can be easily affected by rear suspension, take care so that the machine front and rear are balanced (in position, etc.) when setting the front fork.
- Use of soft spring
Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become stronger and the front fork may sink deeply over a series of gaps.
To set a soft spring:
- Change the rebound damping.
Turn out one or two clicks.
- Change the compression damping.
Turn in one or two clicks.
- Use of stiff spring
Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become weaker, resulting in lack of a sense of contact with the road surface or in a vibrating handlebar.
To set a stiff spring:
- Change the rebound damping.
Turn in one or two clicks.
- Change the compression damping.
Turn out one or two clicks.

Rear suspension setting
The rear suspension setting should be made depending on the rider's feeling of an actual run and the circuit conditions.
The rear suspension setting includes the following two factors:
-
Setting of spring preload
-
Change the set length of the spring.
-
Change the spring.
-
Setting of damping force
-
Change the rebound damping.
- Change the compression damping.
- Place a stand or block under the engine to put the rear wheel above the floor, and measure the length ⑧ between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
- Remove the stand or block from the engine and with a rider astride the seat, measure the sunken length ⑥ between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
- Loosen the locknut ① and make adjustment by turning the spring adjuster ② to achieve the standard figure from the subtraction of the length ⑥ from the length ⑧.

Standard figure: 90 100 ~mm (3.5 ~ 3.9 in)
NOTE:
- If the machine is new and after it is broken in, the same set length of the spring may change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re-evaluation.
- If the standard figure cannot be achieved by adjusting the spring adjuster and changing the spring set length, replace the spring with an optional one and make re-adjustment.
Setting of spring after replacement
After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring to the set length [sunken length 90 100 ~mm (3.5 ~ 3.9 in)] and set it.
-
Use of soft spring
-
Set the soft spring for less rebound damping to compensate for its less spring load. Run with the rebound damping adjuster one or two clicks on the softer side and readjust it to suit your preference.
-
Use of stiff spring
-
Set the soft spring for more rebound damping to compensate for its greater spring load. Run with the rebound damping adjuster one or two clicks on the stiffer side and readjust it to suit your preference.
-
Adjusting the rebound damping will be followed more or less by a change in the compression damping. For correction, turn the low compression damping adjuster on the softer side.
CAUTION:
When using a rear shock absorber other than currently installed, use the one whose overall length ⑧ does not exceed the standard as it may result in faulty performance. Never use one whose overall length is greater than standard.

Length ⑧ of standard shock: 490 mm (19.29 in)
