Special Tools - Oil Pressure Gauge, 10 kgf/cm²: 57001-164 Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter, PT3/8: 57001 -1233
Oil Pressure
Standard: About 196 kPa (2.00 kgf/cm², 28 psi) at 4 000 r/min (rpm), Oil Temperature 50°C (122°F)
If the reading is much lower than the standard, check the oil pump, relief valve, and/or crankshaft bearing insert wear immediately.
If the reading is much higher than the standard, check the oil passages for clogging.
| WARNING Hot oil can cause severe burns. Beware of hot engine oil that will drain through the oil passage when the gauge adapter is removed. |

Oil Cooler InstallationOil Level Inspection
Check that the engine oil level is between the upper [A]
and lower [B] levels in the gauge.
NOTE
Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the
ground.
If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several minutes
for all the oil to drain down.
If the oil has just been changed, ...
Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline
with a minimum Antiknock Index of 90.
The Antiknock Index is posted on service
station pumps. The octane rating
of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance
to detonation or “knocking.” The
Antiknock Index is an average of the
Research Octane Number (R ...
Wheel Rotation Sensor Air Gap Inspection
Raise the front/rear wheel off the ground (see Front/Rear
Wheel Removal in the Wheels/Tires chapter).
Measure the air gap between the sensor and sensor rotor
at several points by turning the wheel slowly.
