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 InstallationBrake Fluid Level Inspection
Check that the brake fluid level in the front brake reservoir
[A] is above the lower level line [B].
NOTE
Hold the reservoir horizontal by turning the handlebar
when checking brake fluid level.
If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, fill the
reservoir to the upper lev ...
Cylinder Head Warp Inspection
Clean the cylinder head.
Lay a straightedge across the lower surface of the cylinder
head at several positions.
Use a thickness gauge [A] to measure the space between
the straightedge [B] and the head.

Brake Line Bleeding
The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient so
that almost all the movement of the brake lever or pedal
is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air,
however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake
lines, brake lever or pedal movement will be partially used
