MAINTENANCE FUEL HOSE Remove the seat (page 2-4). Check the fuel hose for deterioration, damage or leakage. Replace the fuel hose if necessary. THROTTLE OPERATION Check for any deterioration or damage to the throttle cable. Check the throttle lever for smooth operation.
Page 54
MAINTENANCE CARBURETOR CHOKE This model’s choke system uses a fuel enriching circuit controlled by a starting enrichment (SE) valve. The SE valve opens the enriching circuit via a cable when the choke knob on the handlebar is pulled up. Check for smooth choke knob operation and lubricate the choke if required.
Squeeze out the solvent thoroughly, and allow the element to dry. Apply approximately 20 g (0.7 oz) of Pro Honda Foam Filter Oil or equivalent oil from the inside of the element. Place the element into a plastic bag and spread the oil evenly by hand.
MAINTENANCE SPARK PLUG Disconnect the spark plug cap and clean around the spark plug base. Clean around the spark plug base with compressed air before removing the plug, and be sure that no debris is allowed to enter the combustion chamber. Remove the spark plug.
Page 57
MAINTENANCE Rotate the crankshaft using the recoil starter knob to align the ‘‘T’’ mark on the flywheel with the index mark on the rear crankcase cover. Make sure the piston is at TDC (Top Dead Center) on the compression stroke. This position can be obtained by confirming that there is slack in the rocker arm.

MAINTENANCE OIL CHANGE Pour the engine oil after replacing the oil filter (See below). Change the oil with the engine warm to assure complete and rapid draining. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Stop the engine and remove the oil filler cap. Remove the drain bolt and drain the engine oil.
MAINTENANCE ENGINE IDLE SPEED Inspect and adjust the idle speed after all other engine maintenance items have been performed and are within specifications. The engine must be warm for accurate adjustment. Ten minutes of stop-and-go riding is sufficient. Warm up the engine, shift the transmission into neutral and place the vehicle on a level surface.
Page 61
MAINTENANCE OIL CHANGE Place the vehicle on a level surface. Remove the oil filler cap and drain bolt to drain the oil. When the oil is completely drained, install the drain bolt with a new sealing washer. TORQUE: 12 N·m (1.2 kgf·m , 9 lbf·ft) Fill the final gear case with the recommended oil (page 3-12).
MAINTENANCE BRAKE FLUID FRONT BRAKE Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not compatible with each other. Do not allow foreign material to enter the system when filling the reservoir. Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber parts.

MAINTENANCE BRAKE SYSTEM FRONT BRAKE Measure the free play (distance the brake lever moves before the brake starts to take hold) at the end of the front brake lever. FREE PLAY: 25 30 mm (1 1-3/16 in) If the free play is excessive and the brake shoe lining is not worn beyond the recommended limit, adjust the brake shoe lining-to-drum clearance.
MAINTENANCE Make sure the Adjust the brake lever free play by turning the cutout in the upper adjusting nut at the brake arm. adjusting nut is seated on the brake arm joint. Measure the rear brake pedal free play at the end of the pedal.
MAINTENANCE SKID PLATES Check the skid plates for cracks, damage or looseness. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace the skid plate as required. CLUTCH SYSTEM Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting screw one full turn clockwise. Slowly turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise until resistance is felt, then turn the adjusting screw 1/4 turn clockwise.
MAINTENANCE SPARK ARRESTER Remove the bolt. Block the end of the muffler with a shop towel. Start the engine with the transmission in neutral, and purge accumulated carbon from the muffler by momentarily revving the engine several times. Stop the engine and allow the exhaust system to cool.

ELECTRIC SHIFT PROGRAM (ESP: TE/FE models) TROUBLESHOOTING (’00 ’02) TROUBLESHOOTING FEATURE When the ECU detects a system abnormality, it has a built-in self-diagnostic function that stops the Electronic Shift (ES) activity or resets the system entirely (just as when the ignition switch is turned from ‘‘OFF’’ to ‘‘ON’’). The ECU does not have the capability to inform the operator of the cause of the abnormality, except that the ES function stops immediately when the ECU detects a failure condition.

ELECTRIC SHIFT PROGRAM (ESP) TROUBLESHOOTING (After ’02) BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING When the Electric Control Unit (ECU) detects a system abnormality, it has a built-in self-diagnostic function that stops the Electric Shift (ES) system or resets the systems entirely (just as when the ignition switch is turned from ‘‘OFF’’ to ‘‘ON’’). If the ECU detects an ES system failure, the ECU stops the ES system function and records a problem code.

Page 365
TECHNICAL FEATURES A.P. SURETRAC TORQUE BIASING FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CONSTRUCTION In this mechanism, torque is transmitted through the differential using a cam and follower principle. The differential is groove-fitted in the differential case (which receives torque from a ring gear) so that the cam followers can move to the left and right.
Page 366
TECHNICAL FEATURES CONVENTIONAL TYPE Torque transmission: Ring Gear Differential Case Pinion Shaft Pinions Side Gears Drive Shafts Tires Absorption of differential rotation: Self-turning pinion absorb difference in rotation of the side gears (left and right tires). Differential limit: Initial torque The cone springs in a multi-disc clutch imparts axial load in the thrust direction, producing initial torque.
Page 367
TECHNICAL FEATURES DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION Figure 1 shows the conditions when one wheel wants to spin, that is, tries to rotate faster than the differential case. The torque generates a force applied to the flank of the follower dog from the differential case spline, which is then shared between the two face cams by forces on the inclined faces.
