The following tables list the tightening torque for the major fasteners requiring use of a non-permanent locking agent or silicone sealant etc.
Letters used in the “Remarks” column mean: AL: Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque.
G: Apply grease.
L: Apply a non-permanent locking agent.
Lh: Left-hand Threads
MO: Apply molybdenum disulfide oil solution.
(mixture of the engine oil and molybdenum disulfide grease in a weight ratio 10:1)
R: Replacement Parts
S: Follow the specified tightening sequence.
Si: Apply silicone grease (ex. PBC grease).
SS: Apply silicone sealant.
The table below, relating tightening torque to thread diameter, lists the basic torque for the bolts and nuts. Use this table for only the bolts and nuts which do not require a specific torque value. All of the values are for use with dry solvent-cleaned threads.

Periodic Maintenance ChartBalance Inspection
Remove the front and rear wheels (see Front/Rear Wheel
Removal).
Support the wheel so that it can be spun freely.
Spin the wheel lightly, and mark [A] the wheel at the top
when the wheel stops.
Repeat this procedure several times. If the wheel stops

Drive Chain Slack Inspection
NOTE
Check the slack with the motorcycle setting on its sidestand.
Clean the chain if it is dirty, and lubricate it if it appears
dry.
Check the wheel alignment (see Wheel Alignment Inspection).
Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain
is tightest.
Measure the ver ...
Precautions
There are a number of important precautions that are
musts when servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe
all the rules below.
Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will
burn out the diodes on the electrical parts.
Always check battery condition before condemning other
