(ft.-lb.).
Newton meters have
been
adopted
in
place
of
meter
kilograms
(mkg)
in
accordance with
the
International Modernized
Metric
System. Tool
manufacturers
offer torque
wrenches
calibrated in
Newton
meters
and Sears has
a Craftsman
line
calibrated in
both
values.
Existing
torque
wrenches
calibrated
in meter
kilograms
can
be used by
performing
a simple
conversion.
All
you
have
to do
is
move
the
decimal
point
one
place
to the
right; for
example,
4.7
mkg
:
47 N.m. This
conversion is
accurate
enough for mechanical work
even
though the exact
mathematical
conversion
is
3.5 mkg
:
34.3
N.m.
Refer
to
Table
3
for
standard torque
specifications
for various
size screws, bolts and
nuts
that
may not
be covered in
the
various
chapters.
SAFETY FIRST
Professional
mechanics
can
work
for
years
and
never
sustain
a serious injury. If
you
observe
a
few
rules
of
common sense and safety,
you
can
enjoy
many hours
servicing
your
own machine. If
you
ignore
these rules
you
can
hurt
yourself
or damage
the bike.
1. Never
use
gasoline
as
a cleaning solvent.
2. Never
smoke
or use a torch in
the
vicinity
of
flammable liquids
such as
cleaning solvent in
open
containers
3.
If welding
or brazing is required
on the
machine, remove
the
fuel
tank(s) to a safe
distance,
at least
50
feet
away.
4.
Use the
proper
sized wrenches
to avoid
damage
to
nuts
and injury
to
yourself.
5.
When loosening
a tight or
stuck
nut,
think
about
what would
happen if
the
wrench
should
slip. Be
careful;
protect
yourself
accordingly.
6.
Keep
your
work
area clean and
uncluttered.
7. Wear
safety
goggles
during
all operations
involving
drilling,
grinding
or the use of a
cold
chisel.
8.
Never
use worn
tools.
9.
Keep
a
fire
extinguisher handy
and be sure it is
rated
for
gasoline
and electrical fires.
SPECIAL
TIPS
Because
of the extreme
demands
placed
on a
bike,
several
points
should
be
kept in
mind when
performing
service
and
repair.
The following
items
are
general
suggestions
that
may
improve
the
overall
life
of
the
machine
and help
avoid costly
failures.
1.
Use
a
locking
compound
such
as
Loctite
Lock
N'
Seal No. 2114
(blue
Loctite)
on bolts and nuts
(used
in high-stress areas) even
ifthey
are secured
with lockwashers. This
type of
Loctite
does
not
harden
completely and allows
easy
removal
of the
bolt
or
nut. A screw or bolt
lost from
an engine
cover
or bearing
retainer
could easily cause serious
and
expensive
damage before
its loss is noticed.
When
applying
Loctite,
use a small amount.
If
too
much is
used,
it
can
work
its
way
down
the
threads and stick
parts
together
not meant
to be
stuck.
Keep
a tube
of
Loctite in
your
tool box;
when
used
properly
it is cheap
insurance.
2.
Use
a hammer-driven
impact
tool to remove
tight
bolts
and
screws,
particularly
engine
cover
screws. These
tools help
prevent
the
rounding
off of
bolt heads
and
ensure
a tight
installation.
3.
When replacing missing or broken
fasteners
(bolts,
nuts and screws), especially on the
engine or
frame
components,
always use
Honda replacement
parts.
They
are specially
hardened for
each
application. The
wrong fastener
could easily cause
serious
and expensive
damage,
not
to
mention
rider injury.
4. When
installing
gaskets
in
the engine, always
use
Honda replacement
gaskets
without
sealer,
unless designated.
These
gaskets
are
designed to
swell
when
they come
in contact
with
oil. Some of
