TighteningSequence

Generally, when installing apart with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tight them 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, 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, excessiveforcecancauseexpensiveorhardtorepairdamage. 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 no gasket material or other material remains. Install new gaskets and replace used O-rings when re-assembling

LiquidGasket, Non-permanentLockingAgent

For application that require Liquid Gasket or a Non-permanent Locking Agent, clean the surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or non-permanent locking agent. Donot apply them excessively. Excessive application can log oil passages and causes serious damage.

The ECU detects atmospheric pressure when the ignition is switched ON. While the engine is running, the ECU also presumes atmospheric pressure by analyzing the waveform of boost pressure over fixed period. The intake stroke is recognized by waveform of boost pressure, therefore the system can recognize difference of each stroke.

○Checkthelevelwhentheengineiscold(roomorambienttemperature).

  • Checkthecoolantlevelinthereservetank[A]withthe motorcycleheldperpendicular(Donotusethesidestand).
    ★ If the coolant level is slower than the "L" levelline[B], remove the right center fairing (see Center Fairing Removal in the Frame chapter) and unscrew the reservoir tank cap, and add coolant to the "F" levelline[C].

"L":low

"F":full

CAUTION

Forrefilling, addthespecifiedmixture of coolant and softwater. Adding water alonedilutesthe coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties. Thediluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine parts. Inan emergency, softwater alone can be added. But the diluted coolant must be returned to the correct mixturerati within a few days. If coolant must be added often or thereservoir tank has run completely dry, there is probably leakage in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks. Cool an truinspainted surfaces. Immediately wash away any coolant that spills on the frame, engine, wheels or other painted parts.

(VoltageCheckMethod)

- This method is conducted by measuring the input voltage [B] to as sensor [A] first, and then the output voltage [C] from the sensor.

○SometimesthismethodcandetectafaultoftheECU.

  • Refertoeachsensorinspectionsectionfordetailinthis chapter.
  • Useafullychargedbatteryandadigitalmeter[D]which canbereadtwodecimalplacesvoltageorresistance.

Permanent type antifreeze is used as a coolant to protect the cooling system from rust and corrosion. Whentheenginestarts,thewaterpumpturnsandthecoolantcirculates.

Thethermostatisawaxpellettypewhichopensorcloseswithcoolanttemperaturechanges. The thermostatcontinuouslychangesitsvalveopeningtokeepthecoolanttemperatureattheproperlevel. When coolant temperature is below 80.5 \~ 83.5°C (177 \~ 182°F), the thermostat closes so that the coolantflowisrestrictedthroughtheairbleederhole,causingtheenginetowarmupmorequickly. When coolant temperature is more than 80.5 \~ 83.5°C, the thermostat opens and the coolant flows.

When the coolant temperature goes up beyond 93 \~ 103°C (199 \~ 217°F), the radiator fan relay conductstoooperatetheradiatorfan.

When the temperature is below 91°C (196°F) \~ temperature less than ON temperature, the fan relay opensandtheradiatorfanstops.

In this way, this system control the engine temperature within narrow limits where the engine operates most efficiently even if the engine load varies.

When the pressure exceeds 112.3 \~ 141.7 kPa (1.15 \~ 1.45 kgf/cm², 16.3 \~ 20.5 psi), the pressure valve opens and releases the pressure to the reserve tank. As soon as pressure escapes, the valve closes, and keeps the pressure at 112.3 \~ 141.7 kPa (1.15 \~ 1.45 kgf/cm², 16.3 \~ 20.5 psi).

- Besuretocleanthebolts, nuts, and connecting rods thoroughly with a high-flash points solvent, because the new connecting rods, bolts, and nuts are treated with an anti-rust solution.

WARNING

Cleanthebolts, nuts, and connectingrodsinawell-ventilated area, and take care that there is nospark or flame any where near the working area. This includes any appliance with a pilot light. Because of the danger of highly flammable liquids, donot use gasoline or low flash points solvent to clean them.

WARNING

When working with the disc brake, observ the precautions listed below.

  1. Neverreuseoldbrakefluid.
  2. Donotusefluidfromacontainerthathasbeenleft unsealedorthathasbeenopenforalongtime.
  3. Donotmixtwotypesandbrandsoffluidforusein thebrake. Thislowersthebrakefluidboilingpoint andcouldcausethebraketobeineffective. It may also cause therubberbrakepartstodeteriorate.

  4. Don'tleavethereservoircapofforanylengthof timetoavoidmoisturecontaminationofthefluid.

  5. Don't changethe fluid in therain or when a strong wind is blowing.

  6. Except forthediscpadsanddisc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropylalcohol, orethylalcohol for cleaning of the 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.

  7. When handling the discpadsordisc, be careful that nodiscbrakefluidoranyoilgetsonthem. Cleanoff any fluidorolthatinadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high-flash pointsolvent. Donotuse one which will leave an oily residue. Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.

  8. Brakefluidquicklyruinspaintedsurfaces; any spilledfluidshouldbecompletelywipedupimmediately.

  9. If any of the brakeline fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM THE BRAKE LINE.

★The resistance should be low in one direction and more than ten times as much in the other direction. If any diode shows low or high in both directions, the diode is defective and the relay box must be replaced.

NOTE

○ The actual meter reading varies with the meter or tester used and the individual diodes, but generally speaking, the lower reading should be from zero to one half the scale.
