Rear Wheel Rotation Sensor Signal Inspection
The rear wheel rotation sensor sends the signal to the
ECU through the KIBS hydraulic unit (KIBS equipped
models). For other than KIBS equipped models, the
signal is sent directly to the ECU.
The ECU uses the rear wheel rotation sensor signal for
mo ...
Compression Damping Force Adjustment
To adjust the compression damping force, turn the compression
damping adjuster [A].
The standard adjuster setting is the 4 1/2 turns out from
the fully clockwise position.
WARNINGIf both adjusters are not adjusted
equally, handling
may be impaired and a hazardous condition ma ...
Piston Ring End Gap Inspection
Place the piston ring [A] inside the cylinder (upper
crankcase), using the piston to locate the ring squarely
in place. Set it close to the bottom of the cylinder, where
cylinder wear is low.
Measure the gap [B] between the ends of the ring with a
thickness gauge.
