Specifications

Periodic Maintenance & Lubrication

Follow the maintenance schedule to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

  1. Pre-ride Inspection: Check tires, brakes, lights, controls, and fluid levels.
  2. Engine Oil: Check level and change per schedule (every 100 hours or 6 months). Use Yamalube 4 (10W-30) or equivalent.
  3. Oil Filter: Replace with every oil change.
  4. Air Filter: Clean foam element regularly (every 20-40 hours). Service more often in dusty conditions.
  5. Spark Plug: NGK DR8EA. Check gap (0.028–0.031 in / 0.7–0.8 mm) and condition.
  6. Drive Chain: Check tension and lubricate every 20 hours.
  7. Brake Fluid: Check level in reservoirs. Replace fluid every 2 years.
  8. Differential Oil: Front and rear. Check and change per schedule.
  9. Grease Points: Lubricate suspension pivots, steering stem bearings.

WARNING! Engine and exhaust are hot after operation. Allow to cool before servicing.

Fuel System & Throttle

Carburetor adjustment and throttle cable free play are critical for safe operation.

Carburetor (Mikuni BSR42): Idle speed: 1400 ± 100 rpm. Pilot screw initial setting: 2-1/4 turns out. Throttle cable free play: 0.20–0.28 in (5–7 mm).

Fuel Tank: Capacity 5.3 gal. Remove for access to top of engine. Always relieve fuel pressure and disconnect battery before service.

Fuel Filter: Inline filter. Replace if clogged.

CAUTION! Gasoline is extremely flammable. No sparks or open flames.

Engine & Transmission

Detailed procedures for cylinder head, valve adjustment, piston, crankshaft, and clutch service.

  1. Valve Clearance: Check and adjust when cold. Intake: 0.004–0.006 in (0.10–0.15 mm). Exhaust: 0.008–0.010 in (0.20–0.25 mm).
  2. Cylinder Head Removal: Drain coolant, remove intake/exhaust, disconnect cables/hoses.
  3. Piston & Rings: Standard piston size: 102.000–102.015 mm. Ring end gap specifications provided.
  4. Clutch (Ultramatic): Service driven clutch, drive clutch (primary sheave), and V-belt. Belt width specification: 1.18 in (30 mm) minimum.
  5. Oil Pump: Driven by crankshaft. Check for proper priming.

Tip: Organize bolts and label hoses during disassembly.

Chassis & Suspension

Front and rear suspension service, steering, and frame.

Front Suspension: Independent double wishbone with shock absorbers. Check bushings, ball joints, and shock condition.

Rear Suspension: Swingarm with single shock. Preload adjustable. Check pivot bearings and swingarm for play.

Steering: Handlebar removal, steering stem bearing adjustment and repack.

Wheels & Tires: Torque lug nuts to 65 Nm (47 ft-lb). Tire pressure: Front 3.6 psi (25 kPa), Rear 3.6 psi (25 kPa) for standard load.

Driveshafts: CV joints. Check boots for tears and repack grease if necessary.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
Engine does not startWeak battery, faulty starter, fuel issue, no sparkCheck battery voltage, fuel flow, spark plug, sidestand switch, neutral switch.
Engine starts but diesClogged fuel filter, dirty carburetor, bad gasClean carburetor jets, replace fuel, check vacuum lines.
Poor performance/loss of powerClogged air filter, restricted exhaust, worn clutchService air filter, check spark arrestor, measure clutch belt width.
OverheatingLow coolant, clogged radiator, faulty thermostatCheck coolant level and condition, clean radiator fins, test thermostat.
Electrical failure (no lights)Blown fuse, bad bulb, faulty switchCheck fuses, test bulbs with multimeter, inspect switches.
4WD not engagingFaulty switch, shift motor, wiringTest switch continuity, listen for motor click, check connections.
Excessive vibrationUnbalanced tires, bent rim, worn U-jointInspect tires and rims, check driveshaft CV joints.
Brakes dragging or weakContaminated pads, air in lines, worn master cylinderClean or replace pads, bleed brakes, inspect master cylinder seals.

Reset ECU: Disconnect battery for 10 minutes to clear adaptive memory.
