CHAPTER
ONE
The
terms NOTE,
CAUTION
and
WARNING
have
specific
meanings in
this manual. A
NOTE
provides
additional information
to make
a step
or
procedure
easier or
clearer. Disregarding
a
NOTE
could cause inconvenience,
but
would
not
cause
equipment
damage
or
personal
injury.
A
CAUTION
emphasizes
areas
where
equipment
damage could
occur. Disregarding
a
CAUTION
could cause
permanent
mechanical
damage; however,
personal
injury
is
unlikely.
A WARNING
emphasizes
areas
where
personal
injury
or even
death
could
result
from negligence.
Mechanical
damage may
also occur.
WARNINGS
are to
be taken seriously. In
some
cases, serious
injury
or death has resulted
from
disregarding
similar
warnings.
Throughout
this
manual
keep
in mind
2
conventions.
"Front"
refers
to the front
of the bike.
The front
of
any component,
such as
the
engine, is
the end
which
faces
toward
the
front
of the bike.
The
"left-hand"
and
"right-hand"
sides
refer
to the
position
of
the
parts
as
viewed
by a
rider
sitting on
the seat facing forward.
For
example,
the throttle
control is
on the
right-hand
side and the
clutch
lever
is
on the
left-hand
side. These rules
are
simple,
but even
experienced mechanics
occasionally
become disoriented.
SERVICE
HINTS
Most
of the service
procedures
covered are
straightforward and can be
performed
by anyone
reasonably handy with
tools.
It is
suggested,
however,
that
you
consider
your
own capabilities
carefully before attempting
any
operation
involving major
disassembly of the
engine.
Some operations,
for
example,
require
the use of
a
press.
It would
be
wiser
to
have
these
performed
by a shop
equipped
for
such
work, rather than
trying to do the
job
yourself
with makeshift
equipment.
Other
procedures
require
precise
measurements.
Unless
you
have the skills and
equipment
required, it would
be better to
have
a
qualified
repair
shop
make
the
measurements
for
you.
There
are
many items
available that can
be used
on
your
hands
before
and after
working
on
your
bike. A
little
preparation prior'to
getting
"all
greased
up"
will
help when
cleaning up
later.
Before
starting out,
work Vaseline,
soap or a
product
such as
Pro-Tek Invisible
Glove
(Figure
1)
onto
your
forearms, into
your
hands and under
your
fingernails
and cuticles.
This will make
cleanup a
lot
easier.
For
cleanup, use a waterless hand
soap such
as
Sta-Lube
and then
finish
up
with
powdered
Boraxo
and
a
fingernail
brush.
Repairs
go
much faster
and easier if
the bike
is
clean before
you
begin
work. There
are special
cleaners,
such as Gunk or Bel-Ray Degreaser
(Figure
2),for washing
the engine and
related
parts.
Just
spray
or brush on the cleaning solution, let it
stand,
then rinse it
away
with
a
garden
hose. Avoid
the use
of high
pressure
water
(coin-operated
car
washes)
and do
not
point
any
water
spray directly
at the following
parts
or areas:
a.
Drive
chain.
b.
Wheel
hubs.
c.
Instrument
cluster.
d.
Ignition
switch and
handlebar
switches.
e. Carburetor
assembly.
f. Master
cylinders
(brakes
and clutch).
g.
Muffier
outlets.
h.
Under the seat and the
fuel
tank.
Clean all oily or
greasy
parts
with
cleaning
solvent
as
you
remove
them.
WARNING
Never
use
gasoline
as a cleaning agent.
It
presents
an
extreme
fire
hazard.
Be
sure
to
work
in a
well-ventilated
area
when
using
cleaning solvent.
Keep
afire
extinguisher, rated
for
gasoline
fires,
handy in any
case.
Special
tools are
required for
some
repair
procedures.
These may
be
purchased
from
a dealer
or motorcycle
shop, rented from a tool rental
dealer or fabricated
by a
mechanic or
machinist
(often
at
a considerable
savings).
Much
of the
labor
charged
for
repairs made by
mechanics
is for
the
removal
and disassembly of
otlrer
parts
to
reach
the defective unit.
It is
usually
possible
to
perform
the
preliminary
operations
yourself
and then
take the defective unit
in
to
the
dealer
for
repair.
Once
you
have
decided to tackle the
job
