  1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign material before removal and disassembly.

When washing the machine with high pressured water, cover the parts as follows.

  • Silencer end
    • Air filter intake hole
    • Carburetor accelerator pump

  • Use proper tools and cleaning equipment. Refer to "SPECIAL TOOLS" section.

  • When disassembling the machine, keep mated parts together. They include gears, cylinders, pistons, and other mated parts that have been "mated" through normal wear. Mated parts must be reused as an assembly or replaced.
  • During the machine disassembly, clean all parts and place them in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly time and help assure that all parts are correctly reinstalled.
  • Keep away from fire.

CLAPET ANTIRETOUR DE TUYAU DE RENIFLARD

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 motorcycle 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.
  • Never use the decompression lever after the engine is started. The engine may be damaged if you use the decompression lever while it is running.
    • Before starting the machine, perform the checks in the pre-operation check list.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

  1. Inspect the coolant level.
  2. Turn the fuel cock to "ON".
  3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
  4. Fully open the cold starter knob.
  5. Without pulling in the decompression lever, slowly depress the kick starter until the compression stroke is found. When considerable resistance of the kick starter is felt, the engine is on the compression stroke. If the engine is on the exhaust stroke, resistance will only be felt when the kick starter is initially depressed, not through the entire range of depression (as when the engine is on the compression stroke); therefore, depress the kick starter a few more times.

Do not open the throttle while kicking the kick starter. Otherwise, the kick starter may kick back.

  1. Return the cold starter knob to its original position and run the engine at 3,000 \~ 5,000 r/min for 1 or 2 minutes.

NOTE: ____

Since this model is equipped with an accelerator pump, if the engine is raced (the throttle opened and closed), the air/fuel mixture will be too rich and the engine may stall. Also unlike a two-stroke engine, this model can idle.

CAUTION:

Do not warm up the engine for extended periods of time.

Do not operate the cold starter knob and throttle. Open the hot starter knob (red) and start the engine by kicking the kick starter forcefully with a firm stroke.

As soon as the engine starts, push in the hot starter knob to close the air passage.

Restarting an engine after a fall

Pull the hot starter knob (red) and start the engine. As soon as the engine starts, push in the hot starter knob to close the air passage.

The engine fails to start

Pull the hot starter knob (red) all the way out, pull the decompression lever to the handlebar, and while holding the lever, kick the kickstarter 10 to 20 times to clear the engine.

Then, restart the engine.

Refer to "Restarting an engine after a fall".

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Rinse the machine off immediately with clean water, and dry all surfaces with a soft towel or cloth.
  3. Immediately after washing, remove excess water from the chain with a paper towel and lubricate the chain to prevent rust.
  4. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.
  5. Automotive wax may be applied to all painted or chromed surfaces. Avoid combination cleaner-waxes, as they may contain abrasives.
  6. After completing the above, start the engine and allow it to idle for several minutes.

NETTOYAGE ET RANGEMENT

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:

  1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the carburetor float bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Lubricate all control cables.
  5. Block the frame up to raise the wheels off the ground.
  6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
  7. 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.

Measurement and adjustment steps:

- Hold the carburetor in an upside down position.

NOTE:

  • Slowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite direction, then take the measurement when the needle valve aligns with the float arm.
  • If the carburetor is level, the weight of the float will push in the needle valve, resulting in an incorrect measurement.
    • Measure the distance between the mating surface of the float chamber and top of the float using a vernier calipers.

NOTE:

The float arm should be resting on the needle valve, but not compressing the needle valve.

  • If the float height is not within specification, inspect the valve seat and needle valve.
    • If either is worn, replace them both.
  • If both are fine, adjust the float height by bending the float tab ⑥ on the float.

AMORTISSEUR ARRIERE

This 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.

  1. Never tamper or attempt to disassemble the cylinder or the tank.
  2. Never throw the shock absorber into an open flame or other high heat. The shock absorber may explode as a result of nitrogen gas expansion and/or damage to the hose.
  3. Be careful not to damage any part of the gas tank. A damaged gas tank will impair the damping performance or cause a malfunction.
  4. Take care not to scratch the contact surface of the piston rod with the cylinder; or oil could leak out.
  5. Never attempt to remove the plug at the bottom of the nitrogen gas tank. It is very dangerous to remove the plug.
  6. When scrapping the shock absorber, follow the instructions on disposal.

COMPOSANTS ELECTRI- QUES ET SCHEMA DE CABLAGE

COMPOSANTS ELECTRIQUES

A map-controlled, CDI ignition system is used in the WR426F/WR400F.

The microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the engine speed and throttle position, thus determining the optimum ignition timing through the entire operating range. In this way, quick throttle response can be achieved according to various riding conditions.

YAMAHA WR426F (2000) - COMPOSANTS ELECTRIQUES - 1

text_image Throttle position sensor CDI unit Ignition coil Pickup coil CDI magneto rotor

■ Function of Component

Component Function
TPS(throttle position sensor)Detects throttle valve opening and inputs it into the computer in the CDI unit as a throttle opening signal.
Pickup coil Detects signal rotorrotor revolutions and inputs them into the computer in the CDI unit as engine revolution signals.
CDI unit The signals of the TPSTPS and pickup coil sensor are analyzed by the computer in the CDI unit, which then adjusts ignition timing for the operation requirements.

■ Principal of 3-Dimensional Control

Conventionally, ignition timing was controlled only by engine revolutions (2-dimensional control).

However, ignition timing needs advancement also by engine load. Thus, accurate ignition timing can be determined by adding throttle opening to determine ignition timing (3-dimensional control).

VERIFICATION INTERRUPTEUR LUMIERES

1. Vérifier:

  • 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.

YAMAHA WR426F (2000) - NOTE: - 1

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.

YAMAHA WR426F (2000) - WARNING - 1

MISES 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.HumidityAir pressure (altitude)Mixture Setting
HighHigh Low (high)Richer Leaner
LowLow 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.

NOTE:

  • If the 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.

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.

* 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 reduction ratio = of driven sprocket teethNumber of drive sprocket teeth

Standard secondary reduction ratio

50/14 (3.571)

  • 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.

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:

  1. Setting of air spring characteristics

• Change the fork oil level.

  1. Setting of spring preload

- Change the spring.

• Install the adjustment washer.

  1. Setting of damping force

  2. Change the compression damping.

  3. Change the rebound damping.

The spring acts on the load and the damping force acts on the cushion travel speed.

EC723001

Change in level and characteristics of fork oil

Damping characteristic near the final stroke can be changed by changing the fork oil amount.

CAUTION:

Adjust the oil level in 5 mm (0.2 in) increments or decrements. Too low oil level 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 high oil level will develop unexpectedly early oil lock with the consequent shorter front fork travel and deteriorated performance an characteristics. Therefore, adjust the front fork within the specified range.

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.

  1. 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.

2. 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.

NOTE:

• The unequal pitch spring is softer in initial characteristic than the equal pitch spring and is difficult to bottom out under full compression.
• The I.D. mark (slits) ⓐ is proved on the end of the spring.

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:

  1. Setting of spring preload

- Change the set length of the spring.

- Change the spring.

  1. Setting of damping force

• Change the rebound damping.

- Change the compression damping.

Choosing set length

  1. Place a stand or block under the engine to put the rear wheel above the floor, and measure the length ⓐ between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

YAMAHA WR426F (2000) - Choosing set length - 1

Standard figure: 90 \~ 100 mm (3.5 \~ 3.9 in)

  • 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.

EC72G001

Setting of spring after replacement

After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring to the set length and [sunken length 90 \~ 100 mm (3.5 \~ 3.9 in)] set it.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
