Cylinder head cover
Place head cover on a surface plate. There should be no warpage. Correct by re-surfacing as follows:
Place # 400 or # 600 grit wet sandpaper on surface plate and re-surface head cover using a figure-eight sanding pattern. Rotate head cover several times to avoid removing too much material from one side.
Cylinder head
MIDDLE GEAR/DAMPER
a. Middle gear lash 0 2 mm (0.008 in)
d. Measure the gap between the driven gear bearing housing flange and the crankcase with a feeler gauge. This is the shim size required.
Final gear disassembly
1. Remove the nuts and bolts holding the bearing housing.
2. Remove the ring gear assembly and thrust washer from the final gear case.
3. Remove the self-locking nut from drive pinion by using the holding tool (special tool) and remove the coupling.
Oil pump
1. Check the clearance between housing and outer rotor.
Standard clearance: 0.03 — 0.09 mm (0.0012 — 0.0035 in)
2. Check the clearance between outer rotor and inner rotor.
Standard clearance: 0.03 — 0.08 mm (0.0012 — 0.0031 in)
3. Check the plunger for scratches and wear.
Fuel petcock cleaning
1. Turn the fuel petcock lever to the "RES". Remove the fuel pipe from the fuel petcock.
2. Remove the seat, the fuel tank clamp, and the fuel-tank-retainer plate.

Normally, once the clutch cable length adjuster (crankcase) is properly set; the only adjustment required is maintenance of free play at the clutch cable length adjuster (handlebar lever).
Cam chain adjustment
This model has been equipped with the automatic cam chain tensioner. No adjustment is necessary.
Ignition timing check
