o.8 Safety first!

Professional mechanics are trained in safe

working procedures. However enthusiastic you
may be about getting on with the job at hand,
take the time to ensure that your safety is not put
at risk. A moment's lack of attention can result in
an accident, as can failure to observe simple
precautions.
There will always be new ways of having
accidents, and the following is not a
comprehensive list of all dangers it is intended
rather to make you aware of the risks and to
encourage a safe approach to all work you carry
out on your bike.
Asbestos
! "ertain friction, insulating, sealing and
other products # such as brake pads, clutch
linings, gaskets, etc. # contain asbestos.
$%treme care must be taken to avoid
inhalation of dust from such products since it
is ha&ardous to health. 'f in doubt, assume
that they do contain asbestos.
Fire
! (emember at all times that petrol is highly
flammable. )ever smoke or have any kind of
naked flame around, when working on the
vehicle. *ut the risk does not end there # a
spark caused by an electrical short#circuit, by
two metal surfaces contacting each other, by
careless use of tools, or even by static
electricity built up in your body under certain
conditions, can ignite petrol vapour, which in
a confined space is highly e%plosive. )ever
use petrol as a cleaning solvent. +se an
approved safety solvent.
! Always disconnect the battery earth terminal
before working on any part of the fuel or electrical
system, and never risk spilling fuel on to a hot
engine or e%haust.
! 't is recommended that a fire e%tinguisher of
a type suitable for fuel and electrical fires is kept
handy in the garage or workplace at all times.
)ever try to e%tinguish a fuel or electrical fire with
water.
Fumes
! "ertain fumes are highly to%ic and can
,uickly cause unconsciousness and even death if
inhaled to any e%tent. Petrol vapour comes into
this category, as do the vapours from certain
solvents such as trichloro#ethylene. Any draining
or pouring of such volatile fluids should be done
in a well ventilated area.
! -hen using cleaning fluids and solvents,
read the instructions carefully. )ever use
materials from unmarked containers # they may
give off poisonous vapours.
! )ever run the engine of a motor vehicle in an
enclosed space such as a garage. $%haust
fumes contain carbon mono%ide which is
e%tremely poisonous if you need to run the
engine, always do so in the open air or at least
have the rear of the vehicle outside the
workplace.
The battery
! )ever cause a spark, or allow a naked
light near the vehicle's battery. 't will normally
be giving off a certain amount of hydrogen
gas, which is highly e%plosive.
! Always disconnect the battery ground .earth/
terminal before working on the fuel or electrical
systems .e%cept where noted/.
! 'f possible, loosen the filler plugs or cover
when charging the battery from an e%ternal
source. 0o not charge at an e%cessive rate or the
battery may burst.
! Take care when topping up, cleaning or
carrying the battery. The acid electrolyte,
evenwhen diluted, is very corrosive and should
not be allowed to contact the eyes or skin. Always
wear rubber gloves and goggles or a face shield.
'f you ever need to prepare electrolyte yourself,
always add the acid slowly to the water never
add the water to the acid.
Electricity
! -hen using an electric power tool, inspection
light etc., always ensure that the appliance is
correctly connected to its plug and that, where
necessary, it is properly grounded .earthed/. 0o
not use such appliances in damp conditions and,
again, beware of creating a spark or applying
e%cessive heat in the vicinity of fuel or fuel
vapour. Also ensure that the appliances meet
national safety standards.
! A severe electric shock can result from
touching certain parts of the electrical system,
such as the spark plug wires .HT leads/, when
the engine is running or being cranked,
particularly if components are damp or the
insulation is defective. -here an electronic
ignition system is used, the secondary .HT/
voltage is much higher and could prove fatal.
Remember...
.X Don't start the engine without first ascer#
taining that the transmission is in neutral. X
Don't suddenly remove the pressure cap from
a hot cooling system # cover it with a cloth and
release the pressure gradually first, or you may
get scalded by escaping coolant. X Don't
attempt to drain oil until you are sure it has
cooled sufficiently to avoid scalding you.
X Don't grasp any part of the engine or
e%haust system without first ascertaining that it
is cool enough not to burn you. X Don't allow
brake fluid or antifree&e to contact the
machine's paintwork or plastic components.
X Don't siphon to%ic li,uids such as fuel,
hydraulic fluid or antifree&e by mouth, or allow
them to remain on your skin. X Dont inhale
dust # it may be injurious to health .see
Asbestos heading/. X Dont allow any spilled oil
or grease to remain on the floor # wipe it up
right away, before someone slips on it. X Don't
use ill#fitting spanners or other tools which may
slip and cause injury. X Dont lift a heavy
component which may be beyond your
capability # get assistance.
X Don't rush to finish a job or take
unverified short cuts.
X Don't allow children or animals in or
around an unattended vehicle.
X Don't inflate a tyre above the
recommended pressure. Apart from
overstressing the carcass, in e%treme cases
the tyre may blow off forcibly.
! Do ensure that the machine is supported
securely at all times. This is especially
important when the machine is blocked up
to aid wheel or fork removal.
</ Do take care when attempting to loosen a
stubborn nut or bolt. 't is generally better to pull
on a spanner, rather than push, so that if you
slip, you fall away from the machine rather
than onto it.
! Do wear eye protection when using power
tools such as drill, sander, bench grinder etc.
! Do use a barrier cream on your hands prior
to undertaking dirty jobs # it will protect your
skin from infection as well as making the dirt
easier to remove afterwards but make sure
your hands aren't left slippery. )ote that long#
term contact with used engine oil can be a
health ha&ard.
! Do keep loose clothing .cuffs, ties etc. and
long hair/ well out of the way of moving
mechanical parts.
! Do remove rings, wristwatch etc., before
working on the vehicle # especially the
electrical system.
! Do keep your work area tidy # it is only too
easy to fall over articles left lying around.
! Do e%ercise caution when compressing
springs for removal or installation. $nsure that
the tension is applied and released in a
controlled manner, using suitable tools which
preclude the possibility of the spring escaping
violently.
! Do ensure that any lifting tackle used has a
safe working load rating ade,uate for the job.
! Do get someone to check periodically that
all is well, when working alone on the vehicle.
! Do carry out work in a logical se,uence and
check that everything is correctly assembled
and tightened afterwards.
! Do remember that your vehicle's safety
affects that of yourself and others. 'f in doubt
on any point, get professional advice. ! 'f in
spite of following these precautions, you are
unfortunate enough to injure yourself, seek
medical attention as soon as possible.

'dentification numbers 09
4rame and engine numbers
The frame serial number is stamped into the
right side of the steering head. The engine
number is stamped into the top of the crankcase
on the right#hand side of the engine. *oth of
these numbers should be recorded and kept in a
safe place so they can be furnished to law
enforcement officials in the event of a theft. There
is also a carburettor identification number on the
intake side of each carburettor body, and a colour
code label on the top of the rear fender under the
passenger seat. The colour code label may also
contain the bike's production year and model
code.
The frame serial number, engine serial number,
carburettor identification number and colour code
should also be kept in a handy place .such as
with your driver's licence/ so they are always
available when purchasing or ordering parts for
your machine.
The procedures in this manual identify the
bikes by model type .eg T05/ and if necessary
by production year. )ote that the production year
does not necessarily correspond with the year of
sale or registration.
The model code number is very useful when
ordering parts for your bike and is linked to the
production year as shown in the accompanying
table. There should be a sticker on the bike's rear
frame section .usually visible once the seat is
lifted/ which gives the model code number .eg
6T76, meaning a 8999 T05/, the :amaha
production code number, and a letter indicating
the colour code. The frame and engine numbers
can also be used to establish the production year
and model code, although these are not available
for post#899; models. The accompanying table
gives model identification data for models
available in the +< market.
*uying spare parts
=nce you have found all the identification
numbers, record them for reference when buying
parts. 1ince the manufacturers change
specifications, parts and vendors .companies that
manufacture various components on the
machine/, providing the '0 numbers is the only
way to be reasonably sure that you are buying
the correct parts.
-henever possible, take the worn part to the
dealer so direct comparison with the new
component can be made. Along the trail from the
manufacturer to the parts shelf, there are
numerous places that the part can end up with
the wrong number or be listed incorrectly.
The two places to purchase new parts for your
motorcycle # the accessory store and the
franchised dealer # differ in the type of parts they
carry. -hile dealers can obtain virtually every
part for your motorcycle, the accessory dealer is
usually limited to normal high wear items such as
shock absorbers, tune#up parts, various engine
gaskets, cables, chains,

*.8 ?ntro!uction
* This "hapter is designed to help the home
mechanic maintain hisDher motorcycle for safety,
economy, long life and peak performance.
6 0eciding where to start or plug into the routine
maintenance schedule depends on several
factors. 'f the warranty period on your motorcycle
has just e%pired, and if it has been maintained
according to the warranty standards, you may
want to pick up routine maintenance as it
coincides with the ne%t mileage or calendar
interval. 'f you have owned the machine for some
time but have
never performed any maintenance on it, then you
may want to start at the nearest interval and
include some additional procedures to ensure
that nothing important is overlooked. 'f you have
just had a major engine overhaul, then you may
want to start the maintenance routine from the
beginning. 'f you have a used machine and have
no knowledge of its history or maintenance
record, you may desire to combine all the checks
into one large service initially and then settle into
the maintenance schedule prescribed. @ *efore
beginning any maintenance or
repair, the machine should be cleaned
thoroughly, especially around the oil filter, spark
plugs, valve cover, side panels, carburettors, etc.
"leaning will help ensure that dirt does not
contaminate the engine and will allow you to
detect wear and damage that could otherwise
easily go unnoticed.
6 "ertain maintenance information is sometimes
printed on decals attached to the motorcycle. 'f
the information on the decals differs from that
included here, use the information on the decal.

Check
8 A neglected drive chain won't last long and can
,uickly damage the sprockets. (outine chain
adjustment and lubrication isn't difficult and will
ensure ma%imum chain and sprocket life.
A To check the chain, place the bike on its
sidestand and shift the transmission into neutral.
@ Push up on the bottom run of the chain and
measure the slack midway between the two
sprockets, then compare your measurement
*.8 #ush u" on the chain an! measure the
slac'
to that listed in this "hapter's 1pecifications 1see
illustration2. As the chain stretches with wear,
adjustment will periodically be necessary .see
below/. 1ince the chain will rarely wear evenly,
roll the bike forwards so that another section of
chain can be checked do this several times to
check the entire length of chain and position the
tightest spot midway between the sprockets on
the bottom run of the chain.
6 'n some cases where lubrication has been
neglected, corrosion and galling may cause the
links to bind and kink, which effectively shortens
the chain's length. 1uch links should be
thoroughly cleaned and worked free. 'f the chain
is tight between the sprockets, rusty or kinked,
it's time to renew it. 'f you find a tight area, mark
it with felt pen or paint, and repeat

'f the chain's still tight in the same area, it may be
damaged or worn. *ecause a tight or kinked
chain can damage the transmission countershaft
bearing, it's a good idea to renew it.
0 "heck the entire length of the chain for
damaged rollers, loose links and pins, and
missing =#rings and renew it if damage is found.
%ote) 'ever install a new chain on old sprockets&
and never use the old chain i! you install new
sprockets - renew the chain and sprockets as a
set.
5 'f you suspect that the chain may be worn out,
you can measure a 8?#link length and compare it
with the wear limit. This re,uires the chain to be
removed from the bike and first cleaned .see
"hapter C/.
4 (emove the front sprocket cover .see "hapter

* The idle speed should be checked and
adjusted before and after the carburettors are
synchronised .balanced/ and when it is obviously
too high or too low. *efore adjusting the idle
speed, make sure the valve clearances and
spark plug gaps are correct. Also, turn the
handlebars back#and#forth and see if the idle
speed changes as this is done. 'f it does, the
throttle cable may not be adjusted or routed
correctly, or may be worn out. This is a
dangerous condition that can cause loss of
control of the bike. *e sure to correct this
problem before proceeding.
6 The engine should be at normal operating
temperature, which is usually reached after 8? to
8; minutes of stop#and#go riding. 5ake sure the
transmission is in neutral, and place the
motorcycle on its sidestand.
8 =n T05 and T(7 models, the idle speed
adjuster is located on the left#hand side 1see

8 "arburettor synchronisation is simply the
process of adjusting the carburettors so they
pass the same amount of fuelDair mi%ture to each
cylinder. This is done by measuring the vacuum
produced in each cylinder. "arburettors that are
out of synchronisation will result in decreased
fuel mileage, increased engine temperature, less
than ideal throttle response and higher vibration
levels. *efore synchronising the carburettors,
make sure the valve clearances and idle speed
are properly set.
A To properly synchronise the carburettors you
will need a pair of vacuum gauges or a
manometer these instruments measure engine
vacuum and can be obtained from motorcycle
dealers or mail order parts suppliers. 'f you don't
have access to either of these instruments
entrust the work to a dealer.

8 "onsistent routine oil and filter changes are
the single most important maintenance
procedure you can perform on a motorcycle.
The oil not only lubricates the internal parts of 6
the engine, transmission and clutch, but it
also acts as a coolant, a cleaner, a sealant,
and a protectant. *ecause of these demands,
the oil takes a terrific amount of abuse and should be changed often with new oil of the recommended grade and type. 1aving a little money on the difference in
cost between a good oil and a cheap oil won't pay off if the engine is damaged. The oil filter should be changed with every second oil change.
A *efore changing the oil, warm up the engine so the oil will drain easily.

@8 "ylinder compression
#check
8 Among other things, poor engine performance
may be caused by leaking valves, incorrect
valve clearances, a leaking head gasket, or
worn pistons, rings andDor cylinder walls. A
cylinder compression check will help pinpoint
these conditions and can also indicate the
presence of e%cessive carbon deposits in the
cylinder heads.
6 The only tools re,uired are a compression
gauge and a spark plug wrench. A compression
gauge with a threaded end for the spark plug 8A
mm diameter hole is preferable to the type which
re,uires hand pressure to maintain a tight seal.
0epending on the outcome of the initial test, a
s,uirt#type oil can may also be needed.
8 5ake sure the valve clearances are correctly
set .see 1ection A>/ and that the cylinder head
fasteners are tightened to the correct tor,ue
setting .see "hapter A/.
D Refer to 6ault 6inding .uipment in the
(eference section for details of the compression
test. (efer to the specifications at the beginning
of the "hapter for compression figures.
@A $ngine # oil pressure check
* )one of the models covered in this manual are
fitted with an oil pressure warning light. 'f a
lubrication problem is suspected, first check the
oil le,el 1see Dail) 3pre/ride4 checks4
6 'f the oil level is correct, an oil pressure check
must be carried out.
8 To check the oil pressure, slacken the oil
gallery bolt in the left#hand side of the cylinder
head # there is no need to remove it 1see
illustration2.
D 1tart the engine and allow it to idle. After a
short while oil should begin to seep out from the
oil gallery plug 1see illustration2. 'f no oil has
appeared after one minute, stop the engine
immediately.
0 'f the oil does not appear after one minute,
either the pressure regulator is stuck open, the
oil pump is faulty, the oil strainer or filter is
blocked, or there is other engine damage. *egin
diagnosis by checking the oil filter .1ection AA of
this "hapter/, strainer and regulator, then the oil
pump .see "hapter A/. 'f those items check out
okay, chances are the
bearing oil clearances are e%cessive and the
engine needs to be overhauled.
C'f the oil appears very ,uickly and spurts out,
the pressure may be too high, meaning either an
oil passage is clogged, the regulator is stuck
closed or the wrong grade of oil is being used.
B(efer to "hapter A and rectify any problems
before running the engine again.
>Tighten the oil gallery bolt to the tor,ue setting
specified at the beginning of the "hapter.
'arning: 2etrol 3gasoline4 is

precautions when )ou work on an)
part of the fuel s)stem. Don1t smoke or
allow open flames or bare light bulbs near the

8 The fuel delivery and vacuum hoses should be
renewed after a few years regardless of their
condition.
A (emove the fuel tank .see "hapter 6/.
0isconnect the fuel hoses from the fuel tap, fuel
pump and from the carburettors, noting the
routing of each hose and where it connects .see
"hapter 6 if re,uired/. 't is advisable to make a
sketch of the various hoses before removing them
to ensure they are correctly installed.
@ 1ecure each new hose to its unions using new
clamps. (un the engine and check that there are
no fuel leaks before taking the machine out on the
road.

assembly so that they can be turned upside
down and pumped to e%pel the fork oil.
A =nce the forks have been removed from the
yokes, refer to the appropriate part of 1ection B,
"hapter C, to unscrew the fork top bolt and
withdraw the spacer and spring assembly. )ote
that there is no need to slacken the damper rod
bolt as advised in the early part of this procedure
because this relates to fork overhaul. Turn the
fork upside down and pump the inner tube and
slider to e%pel as much oil as possible.
@ (efill each fork with the specified amount and
type of fork oil .see "hapter C 1pecifications/ and
install the fork spring, spacer and top bolt. Take
careful note of how the oil level is measured and
the importance of the level being identical in

6 4ork oil degrades over a period of time and
loses its damping ,ualities. These models are
e,uipped with drain screws in the fork sliders
1see illustration 4.09 in 9ha"ter 52 and
therefore changing the fork oil is a relatively
straightforward task.
; Position the bike on an au%iliary stand and
support it under the engine so that the front
wheel is off the ground. +nscrew the fork top bolt
from the top of each fork tube.
'arning: +he fork spring is
pressing on the fork top bolt 3via the
spacer4 with considerable pressure.
7nscrew the bolt ver) carefull), keeping a
downward pressure on it and release it slowl)
as it is likel) to spring clear. &t is advisable to
wear some form of e)e and face protection
when carr)ing out this operation.
,
C Hold a piece of thick card to act as a chute
beneath the fork drain screw on one fork slider,
then remove the drain screw and allow the oil to
drain. Pump the fork to e%pel all of the oil. )ow do
the same on the other fork leg.
B 1lide the fork tube down into the slider and
withdraw the spacer, spring seat and the spring
from the tube. )ote which way up the spring is
fitted.
> "heck the condition of the sealing washers on
the drain screws and screw them back into the
fork sliders.
9 1lowly pour in the specified ,uantity of the
specified grade of fork oil .see "hapter C
1pecifications/ and pump the fork at least ten
times to distribute it evenly the oil level should
also be measured and adjustment made by
adding or subtracting oil. 4ully compress the fork
tube into the slider and measure the fork oil level
from the top of the tube 1see illustration 4.65b in
9ha"ter 52. Add or subtract fork oil until it is at the
level specified at the beginning of the "hapter.
)ote that bike must be upright when the oil level
is measured and the oil level must be the same in
each fork.
8? $%tend the fork tube and slider fully, then
install the spring, the spring seat, with its
shouldered side fitting down into the top of the
spring, and the spacer.
88 Apply a smear of grease to the top bolt =#

the crankshaft. The transmission is a five#speed
constant#mesh unit. 4inal drive to the rear wheel
is by chain and sprockets.
=perations re,uiring engine
removal
The engineDtransmission unit is a li,uid#cooled
parallel twin with five valves per cylinder .three
inlet and two e%haust/. The valves are operated
by double overhead camshafts which are chain
driven off the crankshaft. The
engineDtransmission assembly is constructed
from aluminium alloy. The crankcase is divided
hori&ontally.
The crankcase incorporates a dry sump,
pressure#fed lubrication system which uses two
gear#driven oil pumps, one a feed pump to
lubricate the engine, the other a scavenge pump
to return oil to the tank, both driven off the
crankshaft. The sump houses the oil filter, by#
pass valve assembly and relief valve. The oil
tank is mounted behind the engine on 8998 to
899; T05 models and all 7TE models, and on
the engine behind the cylinders on later T05
models and all T(7 models. The oil pumps are
gear driven off the crankshaft.
The crankshaft also drives two balancer shafts
which eliminate the vibration inherent in parallel
twin engines
The alternator and starter clutch are on the
left#hand end of the crankshaft.
Power from the crankshaft is routed to the
transmission via the clutch. The clutch is of the
wet, multi#plate type and is gear#driven off

general note
8 't is not always easy to determine when or if
an engine should be completely overhauled, as a
number of factors must be considered.
A High mileage is not necessarily an indication
that an overhaul is needed, while low mileage, on
the other hand, does not preclude the need for
an overhaul. 4re,uency of servicing is probably
the single most important consideration. An
engine that has regular and fre,uent oil and filter
changes, as well as other re,uired maintenance,
will most likely give many miles of reliable
service.
Scane! by Stal'er
$ngine, clutch and transmission A[B
"onversely, a neglected engine, or one which
has not been run in properly, may re,uire an
overhaul very early in its life.
@ $%haust smoke and e%cessive oil consumption
are both indications that piston rings andDor valve
guides are in need of attention, although make
sure that the fault is not due to oil leakage.
6 'f the engine is making obvious knocking or
rumbling noises, the connecting rods andDor main
bearings are probably at fault.
; Foss of power, rough running, e%cessive valve
train noise and high fuel consumption rates may
also point to the need for an overhaul, especially
if they are all present at the same time. 'f a
complete tune#up does not remedy the situation,
major mechanical work is the only solution.
C An engine overhaul generally involves
restoring the internal parts to the specifications of
a new engine. The piston rings and main and
connecting rod bearings are usually renewed and
the cylinder walls honed or, if necessary, re#
bored during a major overhaul. 2enerally the
valve seats are re#ground, since they are usually
in less than perfect condition at this point. The
end result should be a like new engine that will
give as many trouble#free miles as the original.
B *efore beginning the engine overhaul, read
through the related procedures to familiarise
yourself with the scope and re,uirements of the
job. =verhauling an engine is not all that difficult,
but it is time consuming. Plan on the motorcycle
being tied up for a minimum of two weeks. "heck
on the availability of parts and make sure that
any necessary special tools, e,uipment and
supplies are obtained in advance.
> 5ost work can be done with typical workshop
hand tools, although a number of precision
measuring tools are re,uired for inspecting parts
to determine if they must be renewed. =ften a
dealer will handle the inspection of parts and
offer advice concerning reconditioning and
renewal. As a
general rule, time is the primary cost of an
overhaul so it does not pay to 'nstall worn or
substandard parts.
9 As a final note, to ensure ma%imum life and
minimum trouble from a rebuilt engine,
everything must be assembled with care in a
spotlessly clean environment.
Caution: +he engine is ver) heav). ngine
removal and installation should be carried
out with the aid of at least one assistant5
personal in-ur) or damage could occur if the
engine falls or is dropped. ,n h)draulic or

possible.

disconnecting any wiring, cables and hoses, it is
advisable to mark or tag them as a reminder to
where they connect.
6 'f the engine is dirty, particularly around its

* *ecause of the comple% nature of this job and
the special tools and e,uipment re,uired, most
owners leave servicing of the valves, valve seats
and valve guides to a professional.
6 The home mechanic can, however, remove the
valves from the cylinder head, clean and check
the components for wear and assess the e%tent
of the work needed, and, unless a valve overhaul
is re,uired, grind in the valves .see 1ection 8A/.
8 The engineer will renew the valves, guides
and springs, recut the valve seats, clean and
polish the valve ports and reassemble the valve
components.
D After the valve overhaul has been performed,
the head will be in like#new condition. -hen the
head is returned, be sure to clean it again very
thoroughly before installation on the engine to
remove any metal particles or abrasive grit that
may still be present from the valve service
operations.

8 As mentioned in the previous section, valve
overhaul should be left to an engineer. However,
disassembly, cleaning and inspection of the
valves and related components can be done .if
the necessary special tools are available/ by the
home mechanic. This way no e%pense is
incurred if the inspection reveals that overhaul is
not re,uired at this time.
A To disassemble the valve components without
the risk of damaging them, a valve spring
compressor is absolutely essential. 5ake sure
that it is suitable for motorcycle work.

8 *efore proceeding, arrange to label and store
the valves along with their related components
in such a way that they can be returned to their
original locations without getting mi%ed up 1see
illustration2. A good way to do this is to use the
same container as the shims are stored in .see
1ection >/, or to obtain a separate container
which is divided into ten compartments, and to
label each compartment with the identity of the
valve which will be stored in it .ie number of
cylinder, inlet or e%haust side, inner, middle or
outer valve/. Alternatively, labelled plastic bags
will do just as well.

inspection and installation
* 't is good practice to renew the piston rings
when an engine is being overhauled. *efore
installing the new piston rings, the ring end gaps
must be checked with the rings installed in the
cylinder.
6 Fay out each piston with its new ring sets so
the rings will be matched with the same piston
and cylinder during the end gap measurement
procedure and engine assembly.
8To measure the installed ring end gap, insert
the top ring into the top of the first cylinder and
s,uare it up with the cylinder walls by pushing it
in with the top of the piston. The ring should be
about A? mm below the top edge of the cylinder.
To measure the end gap, slip a feeler gauge
between the ends of the ring and compare the
measurement to the specifications at the
beginning of the "hapter 1see illustration2.
D 'f the gap is larger or smaller than specified,
double check to make sure that you have the
correct rings before proceeding.
0'f the gap is too small, it must be enlarged or
the ring ends may come in contact with each
other during engine operation, which can cause
serious damage. The end gap can be increased
by filing the ring ends very carefully with a fine
file. -hen performing this operation, file only
from the outside in 1see illustration2.
5 $%cess end gap is not critical unless it
e%ceeds the service limit. Again, double#check to
make sure you have the correct rings for your
engine and check that the bore is not worn.
4 (epeat the procedure for each ring that will be
installed in the cylinders. -hen checking the oil
ring, only the side#rails can be checked as the
ends of the e%pander ring should contact each
other. (emember to keep the rings, pistons and
cylinders matched up.
8 =nce the ring end gaps have been
checkedDcorrected, the rings can be installed on
the pistons.
9 The oil control ring .lowest on the piston/ is
installed first. 't is composed of three separate
components, namely the e%pander and the upper
and lower side rails. 1lip the e%pander into the
groove, then install the upper side rail.
0o not use a piston ring installation tool on the A oil
ring side rails as they may be damaged. 'nstead, place
one end of the side rail into the groove between the
e%pander and the ring land. Hold it firmly in place and
slide a finger

64 ain an! connectin& ro!
bearin&s # general information
8 $ven though main and connecting rod
bearings are generally renewed during the
engine overhaul, the old bearings should be
retained for close e%amination as they may
reveal valuable information about the condition of
the engine.
A *earing failure occurs mainly because of lack
of lubrication, the presence of dirt or other foreign
particles, overloading the engine andDor
corrosion. (egardless of the cause of bearing
failure, it must be corrected before the engine is
reassembled to prevent it from happening again.
@ -hen e%amining the connecting rod bearings,
remove them from the connecting rods and caps
and lay them out on a clean surface in the same
general position as their location on the
crankshaft journals. This will enable you to match
any noted bearing problems with the
corresponding crankshaft journal.
6 0irt and other foreign particles get into the
engine in a variety of ways. 't may be left in the
engine during assembly or it may pass through
filters or breathers. 't may get into the oil and
from there into the bearings. 5etal chips from
machining operations and normal engine wear
are often present. Abrasives are sometimes left in
engine components after reconditioning
operations, especially when parts are not
thoroughly cleaned using the proper cleaning
methods. -hatever the source, these foreign
objects often end up imbedded in the soft bearing
material and are easily recognised. Farge
particles will not imbed in the bearing and will
score or gouge the bearing and journal. The best
prevention for this cause of bearing failure is to
clean all parts thoroughly and keep everything
spotlessly clean during engine reassembly.
4re,uent and regular oil and filter changes are
also recommended.
; Fack of lubrication or lubrication breakdown
has a number of interrelated causes. $%cessive
heat .which thins the oil/, overloading .which
s,uee&es the oil from the bearing face/ and oil
leakage or throw off .from e%cessive bearing
clearances, worn oil pumps or high engine
speeds/ all contribute to lubrication breakdown.
*locked oil passages will also starve a bearing
and destroy it. -hen lack of lubrication is the
cause of bearing failure, the bearing material is
wiped or e%truded from the steel backing of the
bearing. Temperatures may increase to the point
where the steel backing and the journal turn blue
from overheating.
TI9T[/8? /e!er to Tools and T>>>>>T
>orkshop Tips !or bearing GlT
!ault!inding.
C (iding habits can have a definite effect on
bearing life. 4ull throttle low speed operation, or
labouring the engine, puts very high loads on
bearings, which tend to s,uee&e out the oil film.
These loads cause the bearings to fle%, which
produces fine cracks in the bearing face .fatigue
failure/. $ventually the bearing material will
loosen in pieces and tear away from the steel
backing. 1hort trip riding leads to corrosion of
bearings, as insufficient engine heat is produced
to drive off the condensed water and corrosive
gases produced. These products collect in the
engine oil, forming acid and sludge. As the oil is
carried to the engine bearings, the acid attacks
and corrodes the bearing material.
B 'ncorrect bearing installation during engine
assembly will lead to bearing failure as well. Tight
fitting bearings which leave insufficient bearing oil
clearances result in oil starvation. 0irt or foreign
particles trapped behind a bearing insert result in
high spots on the bearing which lead to failure.
> To avoid bearing problems, clean all parts
thoroughly before reassembly, double check all
bearing clearance measurements and lubricate
the new bearings with clean engine oil during
installation.

bearing shells. 'f they are scored, badly scuffed
or appear to have been sei&ed, new bearings
must be installed. Always renew the main
bearings as a set. 'f they are badly damaged,
check the corresponding crankshaft journals.
$vidence of e%treme heat, such as discoloration,
indicates that lubrication failure has occurred. *e

68 'f the clearance is still greater than the
ser,ice limit listed in this "hapter's
1pecifications .even with new shells/, the
crankshaft journal is worn and the crankshaft
should be renewed.
8ain bearing shell selection
A6 )ew bearing shells for the main bearings
are supplied on a selected fit basis. "ode
numbers stamped on various components are
used to identify the correct si&e bearings. The
crankshaft journai si&e numbers are stamped
on the outside of the crankshaft web on the
right#hand end 1see illustration 68.6*a2. The
block of three numbers are for the main bearing
journals .the block of two numbers are for the
big#end bearing journals/. The main bearing
housing numbers are stamped into the upper
crankcase half 1see illustration2. )ote that if
there is only one number stamped into the
crankcase, it means that all the journals are the
same number. 60 A range of bearing shells is
available. To select the correct bearing for a
particular journal, subtract the main bearing
journal number .stamped on the crank web/ from
the main bearing housing number .stamped on
the crankcase/. "ompare the bearing number
calculated with the table below to find the colour
coding of the new bearings re,uired. The bearing
shell colour code is marked on the side of the
shell 1see illustration 68.662.

@LA 9oolin& system
* \eneral information
The cooling system uses a waterDantifree&e
coolant to carry away e%cess energy in the form
of heat. The cylinders are surrounded by a water
jacket from which the heated coolant is circulated
by thermo#syphonic action in conjunction with a
water pump, driven by the front balancer shaft.
The hot coolant passes upwards to the
thermostat and through to the radiator. The
coolant then flows across the radiator core,
where it is cooled by the passing air, to the water
pump and back to the engine where the cycle is
repeated.
A thermostat is fitted in the system to prevent
the coolant flowing through the radiator when the
engine is cold, therefore accelerating the speed
at which the engine reaches normal operating
temperature. A coolant temperature sensor
mounted in the thermostat housing transmits to
the temperature gauge on the instrument panel.
A thermostatically#controlled cooling fan is also
fitted to aid cooling in e%treme conditions. The
fan switch is mounted in the thermostat housing.
The complete cooling system is partially sealed
and pressurised, the pressure being controlled by
a valve contained in the spring#loaded radiator
cap. *y pressurising the coolant the boiling point
is raised, preventing premature boiling in adverse
conditions. The overflow pipe from the system is
connected to a reservoir into which e%cess
coolant is e%pelled under pressure. The
discharged coolant automatically returns to the
radiator when the engine cools.
'arning: Do not remove the
pressure cap from the radiator when
the engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam ma) be blown out underpressure,
which could cause serious in-ur). 'hen the
engine has cooled, place a thick rag, like a
towel over the pressure cap5 slowl) rotate the
cap anti/clockwise to the first stop. +his
procedure allows an) residual pressure to
escape. 'hen the steam has stopped
escaping, press down on the cap while turning
it anti/clockwise and remove it. Do not allow
antifree9e to come in contact with )our skin or
painted surfaces of the motorc)cle. "inse off
an) spills immediatel) with plent) of water.
,ntifree9e is highl) to*ic if ingested. !ever
leave antifree9e t)ing around in an open
container or in puddles on the floor5 children
and pets are attracted b) its sweet smell and
ma) drink it. Check with the local authorities
about disposing of used antifree9e. 8an)
communities will have collection centres
which will see that antifree9e is disposed of
safel). Caution: ,t all times use the specified
t)pe of antifree9e, and alwa)s mi* it with
distilled water in the correct proportion. +he
antifree9e contains corrosion inhibitors which
are essential to avoid damage to the cooling
s)stem. , lack of these inhibitors could lead to
a build/up of corrosion which would block the
coolant passages,
,
resulting in overheating and severe engine
damage. Distilled water must be used as
opposed to tap water to avoid a build/up of
scale which would also block the passages.
* 'f problems such as overheating or loss of
coolant occur, check the entire system as
described in "hapter 8. The radiator cap opening
pressure should be checked by a :amaha dealer
with the special tester re,uired to do the job. 'f
the cap is defective, renew it.

#eneral information
The fuel system consists of the fuel tank with
internal filter, fuel tap, fuel pump, carburettors, fuel
hoses and control cables.
=n T05 models, a remote fuel tap is fitted for
normal operation, while the filter is integral with the
fuel outlet assembly from the tank. =n T(7
models, a vacuum#operated fuel tap with integral
filter is mounted on the left#hand side of the fuel
tank. =n 7TE models, a fuel tap with integral filter
is mounted on each side of the fuel tank.
4uel is pumped to the carburettors by a
vacuum#operated fuel pump on all T(7 and 7TE
models and 8998 to 899> T05 models. The 8999
T05 model has an electrically#operated fuel
pump.
The carburettors used on all models are "3
types. There is a carburettor for each cylinder. 4or
cold starting, a choke knob is connected to the
carburettors by a cable. =n 8998 to 899; T05
models, the choke knob is mounted above the
front sprocket cover on 899C#on T05 models and
7TE models it is mounted on the handlebars on
T(7 models it is mounted on the frame between
the fuel tank and the fairing. =n 899C#on T05 and
T(7 models the carburettors are warmed by the
engine's coolant.
Air is drawn into the carburettors via an air filter
which is housed under the fuel tank.
The e%haust system is a two#into#two design.
5any of the fuel system service procedures are
considered routine maintenance items and for that
reason are included in "hapter 8.
2recautions
A 'arning: 2etrol 3gasoline4 is
an) fuel on )our skin, rinse it off immediatel)
with soap and water. 'hen )ou perform an)
kind of work on the fuel s)stem, wear safet)
glasses and have a fire e*tinguisher suitable
for a class ( t)pe fire 3flammable li.uids4 on
hand.
Always perform service procedures in a well#
ventilated area to prevent a build#up of fumes.
)ever work in a building containing a gas
appliance with a pilot light, or any other form of
naked flame. $nsure that there are no naked
light bulbs or any sources of flame or sparks
nearby.
0o not smoke .or allow anyone else to smoke/
while in the vicinity of petrol .gasoline/ or of
components containing it. (emember the
possible presence of vapour from these sources
and move well clear before smoking.
"heck all electrical e,uipment belonging to the
house, garage or workshop where work is being
undertaken .see the 1afety firstU section of this
manual/. (emember that certain electrical
appliances such as drills, cutters etc. create
sparks in the normal course of operation and
must not be used near petrol .gasoline/ or any
component containing it. Again, remember the
possible presence of fumes before using
electrical e,uipment.
Always mop up any spilt fuel and safety
dispose of the rag used.
Any stored fuel that is drained off during
servicing work must be kept in sealed containers
that are suitable for holding petrol .gasoline/, and
clearly marked as such the containers
themselves should be kept in a safe place. )ote
that this last point applies e,ually to the fuel tank
if it is removed from the machine also remember
to keep its filler cap closed at all times.

general information
* 0ue to the increased emphasis on controlling
e%haust emissions, certain governmental
regulations ha,e been formulated which directly
affect the carburation of this machine. The pilot
screws can be adjusted, but the use of an
e%haust gas analyser and an au%iliary
tachometer capable of accurately displaying
changes of ;? rpm is the only certain way to
adjust the idle fuelDair mi%ture and be sure the
machine doesn't e%ceed the emissions
regulations.
6 The pilot screws are set to their correct
position by the manufacturer and should not

be adjusted or removed unless it is necessary to
do so during a carburettor overhaul. 'f the screws
are to be removed, record the pilot screw's
current setting by turning the screw it in until it
seats lightly, counting the number of turns
necessary to achieve this, then fully unscrew it.
=n installation, the screw is simply backed out
the number of turns you've recorded. )ote that
for some markets, the pilot screws are sealed
with a plug to prevent tampering.
@ 'f the engine runs e%tremely rough at idle or
continually stalls, and if a carburettor overhaul
does not cure the problem, take the motorcycle
to a :amaha dealer e,uipped with an e%haust

&eneral information
* Poor engine performance, hesitation, hard
starting, stalling, flooding and backfiring are all
signs that major carburettor maintenance may be
re,uired.
6 <eep in mind that many so#called carburettor
problems are really not carburettor problems at
all, but mechanical problems within the engine or
ignition system malfunctions. Try to establish for
certain that the carburettors are in need of
maintenance before beginning a major overhaul.
8 "heck the fuel tap and filter, the fuel and
vacuum hoses, the intake manifold joint clamps,
the air filter, the ignition system, the spark plugs,
valve clearances and carburettor synchronisation
before assuming that a carburettor overhaul is
re,uired.
D 5ost carburettor problems are caused by dirt
particles, varnish and other deposits which build
up in and block the fuel and air passages,
especially if the motorcycle has been laid up for a
time. Also, in time, gaskets and =#rings shrink or
deteriorate and cause fuel and air leaks which
lead to poor performance.
0 -hen overhauling the carburettors,
disassemble them completely and clean the parts
thoroughly with a carburettor cleaning solvent
and dry them with filtered, unlubricated
compressed air. *low through the fuel and air
passages with compressed air to force out any
dirt that may have been loosened but not
removed by the solvent. =nce the cleaning
process is complete, reassemble the carburettor
using new gaskets and =#rings.
5 *efore disassembling the carburettors, make
sure you have all necessary =#rings and other
parts, some carburettor cleaner, a supply of clean
rags, some means of blowing out the carburettor
passages and a clean place to work. 't is
recommended that only one carburettor be
overhauled at a time to avoid mi%ing up parts.

;LA 'gnition system
All models are fitted with a fully transistorised
electronic ignition system, which due to its lack of
mechanical parts is totally maintenance free. The
system comprises a rotor, pick#up coil, ignitor unit
and ignition HT coil.s/ .refer to the wiring
diagrams at the end of "hapter 9 for details/. All
T(7 models and 899C#on T05 models are fitted
with two HT coils, while all other models have
one coil supplying both cylinders. The T(7
models and 899C#on T05 models are also fitted
with a throttle position sensor.
The ignition triggers, which are on the
alternator rotor on the left#hand end of the
crankshaft, magnetically operate the pick#up coil
as the crankshaft rotates. The pick#up coil sends
a signal to the ignitor unit which then supplies the
ignition HT coil.s/ with the power necessary to
produce a spark at the plugs. The ignitor
incorporates an electronic advance system
controlled by signals generated by the ignition
triggers and the pick#up coil.
The ignitor is linked to the clutch and sidestand
cut#off switches. This safety circuit prevents the
bike being started in gear unless the clutch lever
is pulled in, and prevents the bike being ridden
with the sidestand down.
*ecause of their nature, the individual ignition
system components can be checked but not
repaired. 'f ignition system troubles occur, and
the faulty component can be isolated, the only
cure for the problem is to renew the part. <eep in
mind that most electrical parts, once purchased,
cannot be returned. To avoid unnecessary
e%pense, make very sure the faulty component
has been positively identified before buying a
new part.
)ote that there is no provision for adjusting
the ignition timing on these models.

'arning: +he energ) levels in
electronic s)stems can be ver) high.
$n no account should the ignition be
switched on whilst the plugs or plug caps are
being held. Shocks from the H+ circuit can be
most unpleasant. Secondl), it is vital that the
engine is not turned over or run with either of
the plug caps removed, and that the plugs are
soundl) earthed 3grounded4 when the s)stem
is checked for sparking. +he ignition s)stem

,
8 As no means of adjustment is available, any
failure of the system can be traced to failure of
a system component or a simple wiring fault.
=f the two possibilities, the latter is by far the
most likely. 'n the event of failure, check the
system in a logical fashion, as described
below.
A 0isconnect the HT leads from the spark
plugs. "onnect each lead to a spare spark
plug and lay each plug on the engine with the
threads contacting the engine 1see
illustration2. 'f necessary, hold each spark
plug with an insulated tool.
'arning: Do not remove the
sparkplugs from the engine to perform

8 Having observed the above precautions,
check that the kill switch is in the (+)
position and the transmission is in neutral,
then turn the ignition switch =) and turn the
engine over on the starter motor. 'f the system
is in good condition a regular, fat blue spark
should be evident at each plug electrode. 'f
the spark appears thin or yellowish, or is non#
e%istent, further investigation Bill be necessary.
*efore proceeding further, turn the ignition =44.
6 The ignition system must be able to produce a
spark which is capable of jumping a particular
si&e gap. A healthy system should produce a
spark capable of jumping at least C mm. A simple
testing tool can be made to test the minimum gap
across which the spark will jump .see Tool Ti"2
or alternatively it is possible to buy an ignition
spark gap tester tool and some of these tools are
adjustable to alter the spark gap.

* 1ince no provision e%ists for adjusting the
ignition timing and since no component is subject
to mechanical wear, there is no need for regular
checks only if investigating a fault such as a loss
of power or a misfire, should the ignition timing
be checked.
6The ignition timing is checked dynamically
.engine running/ using a stroboscopic lamp. The
ine%pensive neon lamps should be ade,uate in
theory, but in practice may produce a pulse of
such low intensity that the timing mark remains
indistinct. 'f possible, one of the more precise
%enon tube lamps should be used, powered by
an e%ternal source of the appropriate voltage.
%ote) *o not use the machine's own battery as
an incorrect reading may result !rom stray

8? As already stated, there is no means of
adjustment of the ignition timing on these
machines. 'f the ignition timing is incorrect, or
suspected of being incorrect, one of the
ignition system components is at fault, and the

8 The throttle position sensor is located on the
side of the left#hand carburettor and is keyed to
the end of the throttle operating shaft. The sensor
provides the ignitor unit with information relating
to throttle opening and the ignitor is thus able to
set the ignition timing accordingly to produce the
best running conditions and cleaner e%haust
emissions. )ot surprisingly it is essential that the
throttle position sensor should be set up
correctly. 0o not tamper with the sensor's
position unless it has been disturbed during
carburettor overhaul or poor running problems
have been e%perienced.
A -hen the engine is running, the throttle
position sensor performs its own self#diagnosis in
the event of failure or faulty wiring. -hen this
diagnosis occurs, the tachometer will be seen to
display &ero rpm for @ seconds, then @??? rpm

6* =il the fork tube and bottom bush with the
specified fork oil and insert the assembly into the
slider. 4it a new copper sealing washer to the
damper rod bolt and apply a few drops of a
suitable non#permanent thread locking
compound, then install the bolt into the bottom of
the slider 1see illustration2. Tighten the bolt to
the specified tor,ue setting. 'f the damper rod
rotates inside the tube, wait until the fork is fully
reassembled before tightening the bolt.
66 Push the fork tube fully into the slider, then
oil the top bush and slide it down over the tube
1see illustration2. Press the bush s,uarely into
its recess in the slider as far as possible, then
install the oil seal washer with its flat side facing
up 1see illustration2. $ither use the :amaha
service tool or a
suitable piece of tubing to tap the bush fully into
place the tubing must be slightly larger in
diameter than the fork tube and slightly smaller in
diameter than the bush recess in the slider. Take
care not to scratch the fork tube during this
operation it is best to make sure that the fork
tube is pushed fully into the slider so that any
accidental scratching is confined to the area
above the oil seal.

* \eneral information
T05 and T(7 models are fitted with cast alloy
wheels designed for tubeless tyres only. 7TE
models are fitted with spoked wheels designed
for tubed tyres only. *oth front and rear brakes
are hydraulically operated disc brakes.
=n T05 and T(7 models, the front brakes are
twin opposed#piston calipers, and the rear brake is
a single opposed piston caliper. =n 7TE models,
both front and rear brakes are twin piston sliding
calipers.
'arning: Disc brake components

disassemble components unless
absolutel) necessar). &f a h)draulic brake
,
line is loosened, the entire s)stem must be
disassembled, drained, cleaned and then

renewed well before the wear indicators or
minimum amount of friction material is reached.
The pads should also be renewed if they are
fouled with oil or grease, or heavily scored or
damaged by dirt and debris it is not possible to
degrease the friction material. Always renew both
pads in the caliper and renew the pads in each
front caliper at the same time. 6 'f the pads are in
good condition clean them carefully, using a fine
wire brush which is completely free of oil and
grease to remove all traces of road dirt and
corrosion. +sing a pointed instrument, clean out
the grooves in

inspection and repair
* 'n order to carry out a proper inspection of the
wheels, it is necessary to support the bike upright
so that the wheel being inspected is raised off the
ground. Position the motorcycle on an au%iliary
stand. "lean the wheels thoroughly to remove
mud and dirt that may interfere with the
inspection procedure or mask defects. 5ake a
general check of the wheels .see "hapter 8/ and
tyres .see *aily (pre-ride) checks).
6 Attach a dial gauge to the fork slider or the
swingarm and position its stem against the side
of the rim. 1pin the wheel slowly and check the
a%ial .side#to#side/ runout of the rim. 'n order to
accurately check radial .out of round/ runout with
the dial gauge, the wheel would have to be
removed from the machine, and the tyre from the
wheel. -ith the a%le clamped in a vice and the
dial gauge positioned on the top of the rim, the
wheel can be rotated to check the runout 1see
illustration2.
8 An easier, though slightly less accurate,
method is to attach a stiff wire pointer to the fork
slider or the swingarm and position the end a
fraction of an inch from the wheel .where the
wheel and tyre join/. 'f the wheel is true, the
distance from the pointer to the rim will be
constant as the wheel is rotated. %ote) )! wheel
runout is eBcessive& check the wheel or hub
bearings very care!ully be!ore replacing the
wheel.

6 The wheels should also be visually inspected
for cracks, flat spots on the rim and other
damage, =n cast alloy wheels, look very closely
for dents in the area where the tyre bead
contacts the rim. 0ents in this area may prevent
complete sealing of the tyre against the rim,
which leads to deflation of the tyre over a period
of time. 'f damage is evident, or if runout in either
direction is e%cessive, the wheel will have to be
renewed. )ever attempt to repair a damaged
cast alloy wheel.
; =n 7TE models, check for loose or broken
spokes. Tapping the spokes with a screwdriver is
the best guide to their tension. A loose spoke will
make a dull flat note compared to a tight one.
Foose spokes must be tightened by turning the
nipple at the spoke end 'n an anti#clockwise
direction. Always check for runout after altering
the tension in any of the spokes. 1mall
irregularities can be corrected by adjusting the
spokes in the affected area, although a certain
amount of practice is necessary to prevent over#
correction. 'f the wheel runout continues to be
e%cessive, take the wheel to a professional
wheel builder for inspection and adjustment.
8? -hee1s # alignment check
?
# 5isalignment of the wheels, which may be due
to a cocked rear wheel or a bent frame or fork
yokes, can cause strange and possibly serious
handling problems. 'f the frame or yokes are at
fault, repair by a frame specialist or replacement
with new parts are the only alternatives.
2 To check the alignment you will need an
assistant, a length of string or a perfectly straight
piece of wood and a ruler. A plumb bob or other
suitable weight will also be re,uired.
4 'n order to make a proper check of the wheels
it is necessary to support the bike in an upright
position, using an au%iliary stand. 5easure the
width of both tyres at their widest points. 1ubtract
the smaller measurement from the larger
measurement, then divide the difference by two.
The result is the amount of offset that should
e%ist between the front and rear tyres on both
sides.
6 'f a string is used, have your assistant hold
one end of it about halfway between the floor and
the rear a%le, touching the rear sidewall of the
tyre.
; (un the other end of the string forward and
pull it tight so that it is roughly parallel to the floor.
1lowly bring the string into contact with the front
sidewall of the rear tyre, then turn the front wheel
until it is parallel with the string. 5easure the
distance from the front tyre sidewall to the string
.see illustration2.
C (epeat the procedure on the other side of the
motorcycle. The distance from the front tyre
sidewall to the string should be e,ual on both
sides.
B As was previously pointed out, a perfectly
straight length of wood may be substituted for the
string .see illustration/. The procedure is the
same.
> 'f the distance between the string and tyre is
greater on one side, or if the rear wheel appears
to be cocked, refer to "hapter 8, 1ection 8 and
check that the chain adjuster markings coincide
on each side of the swingarm.
9 'f the front#to#back alignment is correct, the
wheels still may be out of alignment vertically.
8? +sing the plumb bob, or other suitable
weight, and a length of string, check the rear
wheel to make sure it is vertical. To do this, hold
the string against the tyre upper sidewall and
allow the weight to settle just off the floor. -hen
the string touches both the upper and lower tyre
sidewalls and is perfectly straight, the wheel is
vertical. '' it is not, place thin spacers under one
leg of the au%iliary stand.
88 =nce the rear wheel is vertical, check the
front wheel in the same manner. 'f both wheels
are not perfectly vertical, the frame andDor major
suspension components are bent.

6itting new t)res
@-hen selecting new tyres, refer to the tyre
information label on the swingarm and the tyre
options listed in the owners handbook. $nsure
that front and rear tyre types are compatible, the
correct si&e and correct speed rating if
necessary seek advice from a :amaha dealer or
tyre fitting specialist 1see illustration2.
6 it is recommended that tyres are fitted by a
motorcycle tyre specialist rather than attempted
in the home workshop. This is particularly
relevant in the case of tubeless tyres because
the force re,uired to break the seal between the
wheel rim and tyre bead is substantial, and is
usually beyond the capabilities of an individual
working with normal tyre levers. Additionally, the
specialist will be able to balance the wheels after
tyre fitting. ; )ote that punctured tubeless tyres
can in
some cases be repaired. Any such repairs must
be carried out professionally by a motorcycle tyre
fitting specialist and advice sought on reduced
speed limits for repaired tyres.
C A punctured tubed tyre is best repaired by
fitting a new inner tube and of course removing
the item which caused the puncture from the tyre
tread. 'nner tubes can be repaired using a kit, but
the safest option is to renew the inner tube.

This "hapter covers the procedures
necessary to remove and install the body
parts. 1ince many service and repair
operations on these motorcycles re,uire the
removal of the body parts, the procedures are
grouped here and referred to from other
"hapters.
'n the case of damage to the body parts, it
is usually necessary to remove the broken
component and renew it .or replace it with a
used one from a breaker/. )ote that there are
however some companies that specialise in
'plastic welding' and there are a number of
bodywork repair kits now available for
motorcycles.
-hen attempting to remove any body
panel, first study it closely, noting any
fasteners and associated fittings, to be sure of
returning everything to its correct place on
installation. 'n some cases the aid of an
assistant will be re,uired when removing
panels, to help avoid the risk of damage to
paintwork. =nce the evident fasteners have
been removed, try to withdraw the panel as
described but 0= )=T 4=("$ 'T # if it will not
release, check that all fasteners have been
removed and try again. -here a panel
engages another by means of tabs, be careful
not to break the tab or its mating slot or to
damage the paintwork. (emember that a few
moments of patience at this stage will save
you a lot of money in renewing broken fairing
panelsU
-hen installing a body panel, first study it
closely, noting any fasteners and associated
fittings removed with it, to be sure of returning
everything to its correct place. "heck that all
fasteners are in good condition, including all
trim nuts or clips and dampingDrubber mounts
any of these must be renewed if faulty before
the panel is reassembled. "heck also that all
mounting brackets are straight and repair or
renew them if necessary before attempting to
install the panel. -here assistance was
re,uired to remove a panel, make sure your
assistant is on hand to install it.
Tighten the fasteners securely, but be
careful not to overtighten any of them or the
panel may break .not always immediately/ due
to the uneven stress. -here ,uick#release
fasteners are fitted, turn them 9?W anti#
clockwise to release them, and 9?W clockwise
to secure them.

* \eneral information
All models have a 8A#volt electrical system
charged by a three#phase alternator with a
separate regulatorDrectifier.
The regulator maintains the charging system
output within the specified range to prevent
overcharging, and the rectifier converts the ac
.alternating current/ output of the alternator to dc
.direct current/ to power the lights and other
components and to charge the battery. The
alternator rotor is mounted on the left#hand end
of the crankshaft.
The starter motor is mounted on the bottom of
the engine. The starting system includes the
motor, the battery, the relay and the various
wires and switches. A safety cut#out circuit
prevents the starter motor operating unless the
transmission is in neutral or the clutch lever is
pulled in and the sidestand is up
%ote) Deep in mind that electrical parts& once
purchased& cannot be returned. To avoid
unnecessary eBpense& make very sure the !aulty
component has been positively identi!ied be!ore
buying a new part.

fault finding
'arning: +o prevent the risk of fmO
short circuits, the ignition 3main4
GGGG switch must alwa)s be $66 and
the batter) negative 3/ve4 terminal
should be disconnected before an) of the
bike1s other electrical components are
disturbed. Don1t forget to reconnect the
terminal securel) once work is finished or if
batter) power is needed for circuit testing.
8A typical electrical circuit consists of an
electrical component, the switches, relays, etc.
related to that component and the wiring and
connectors that hook the component to both the
battery and the frame. To aid in locating a
problem in any electrical circuit, refer to the
wiring diagrams at the end of this "hapter.
A*efore tackling any troublesome electrical
circuit, first study the wiring diagram .see end of
"hapter/ thoroughly to get a complete picture of
what makes up that individual circuit. Trouble
spots, for instance, can often
be narrowed down by noting if other components
related to that circuit are operating properly or
not. 'f several components or circuits fail at one
time, chances are the fault lies in the fuse or
earth connection, as several circuits often are
routed through the same fuse and earth
connections.
@ $lectrical problems often stem from simple
causes, such as loose or corroded connections
or a blown fuse. Prior to any electrical fault
finding, always visually check the condition of the
fuse, wires and connections in the problem
circuit. 'ntermittent failures can be especially
frustrating, since you can't always duplicate the
failure when it's convenient to test. 'n such
situations, a good practice is to clean all
connections in the affected circuit, whether or not
they appear to be good. All of the connections
and wires should also be wiggled to check for
looseness which can cause intermittent failure.
6 'f testing instruments are going to be utilised,
use the wiring diagram to plan where you will
make the necessary connections in order to
accurately pinpoint the trouble spot.
; The basic tools needed for electrical fault
finding include a battery and bulb test circuit, a
continuity tester, a test light, and a jumper wire. A
multimeter capable of reading volts, ohms and
amps is also very useful as an alternative to the
above, and is necessary for performing more
e%tensive tests and checks.

&nspection and maintenance
B The battery fitted to 7TE models is of the
conventional leadDacid type, re,uiring regular
checks of the electrolyte level, as described in
"hapter 8, in addition to those detailed below.
> The battery fitted to T05 and T(7 models is
of the maintenance free .sealed/ type, therefore
re,uiring no specific maintenance. However, the
following checks should still be regularly
performed.
9 "heck the battery terminals and leads for
tightness and corrosion. 'f corrosion is evident,
unscrew the terminal screws and disconnect the
leads from the battery, disconnecting the
negative .#ve/ terminal first, and clean the
terminals and lead ends with a wire brush or
knife and emery paper. (econnect the leads,
connecting the negative .#ve/ terminal last, and
apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the
connections to slow further corrosion.
8? The battery case should be kept clean to
prevent current leakage, which can discharge the
battery over a period of time .especially when it
sits unused/. -ash the outside of the case with a
solution of baking soda and water. (inse the
battery thoroughly, then dry it.
88 Fook for cracks in the case and renew the
battery if any are found. 'f acid has been spilled
on the frame or battery bo%, neutralise it with a
baking soda and water solution, dry it
thoroughly, then touch up any damaged paint.
8A 'f the motorcycle sits unused for long periods
of time, disconnect the cables from the battery
terminals, negative .#ve/ terminal first. (efer to
1ection 6 and charge the battery once every
month to si% weeks.
8@ The condition of the battery can be assessed
by measuring the voltage present at the battery
terminals. "onnect the voltmeter positive .^ve/
probe to the battery positive .^ve/ terminal, and
the negative .#ve/ probe to the battery negative .#

charged, the battery should be charged until the
voltage across the terminals reaches 8A.> 3, or
on 7TE models until the specific gravity is at its
correct reading .see above/. $%ceeding this can
cause the battery to overheat, buckling the plates
and rendering it useless. 4ew owners will have
access to an e%pensive current controlled
charger, so if a normal domestic charger is used
check that after a possible initial peak, the charge
rate falls to a safe level 1see illustration2. 'f the

* The electrical system is protected by fuses of
different ratings. =n T05 and T(7 models, the
fuses are housed in the fusebo%, which is
located under the seat 1see illustrations2;
although on 899C#on T05 and all T(7 models
the main fuse is located on the starter relay .see
1ection AB/. =n 7TE models, the main fuse is
housed in the battery bracket on the front of the
battery, while the cooling fan fuse is fitted in line
with the wiring for the fan 1see illustration2.
6 To access the fuses on T05 and T(7 models,
remove the seat .see "hapter >/ and unclip the
fusebo% lid 1see illustration2. =n 7TE models,
remove the left#hand side cover to access the
main fuse .see "hapter >/, and the fuel tank to
access the cooling fan fuse .see "hapter 6/.
8 The fuses can be removed and checked
visually. 'f you can't pull the fuse out with your
fingertips, use a pair of suitable pliers. T05 and
T(7 models use flat#blade type fuses and the
7TE model uses glass cartridge type fuses. A
blown fuse is easily identified by a break in the
element 1see illustration2. $ach
fuse is clearly marked with its rating and must
only be replaced by a fuse of the correct rating. A
spare fuse of each rating is housed in the fusebo%
on T05 and T(7 models, and a spare main fuse
in the battery bracket on 7TE models. 'f a spare
fuse is used, always renew it so that a spare of
each rating is carried on the bike at all times.
'arning: !ever put in a fuse of a
higher rating or bridge the terminals
with an) other substitute, however
temporar) it ma) be. Serious damage ma) be
done to the circuit, or a fire ma) start.
,
6 'f a fuse blows, be sure to check the wiring
circuit very carefully for evidence of a short#circuit.
Fook for bare wires and chafed, melted or burned
insulation. 'f the fuse is renewed before the cause
is located, the new fuse will blow immediately.
; =ccasionally a fuse will blow or cause an
open#circuit for no obvious reason. "orrosion of
the fuse ends and fusebo% terminals may occur
and cause poor fuse contact. 'f this happens,
remove the corrosion with a wire brush or emery
paper, then spray the fuse end and terminals with
electrical contact cleaner.
C Fighting system # check
* The battery provides power for operation of the
headlight, tail light, brake light, turn
signals and instrument cluster lights. 'f none of
the lights operate, always check battery voltage
before proceeding. Fow battery voltage indicates
either a faulty battery or a defective charging
system. (efer to 1ection @ for battery checks and
1ections @? and @8 for charging system tests.
Also, check the condition of the fuses. -hen
checking for a blown filament in a bulb, it is
advisable to back up a visual check with a
continuity test of the filament as it is not always
apparent that a bulb has blown. -hen testing for
continuity, remember that on tail light and turn
signal bulbs it is often the metal body of the bulb
which is the earth.
Headlight
6 'f the headlight fails to work, first check the
fuse with the key =) .see 1ection ;/, and then
the bulb .see 1ection B/. 'f they are both good,
use jumper wires to connect the bulb directly to
the battery terminals. 'f the light comes on, the
problem lies in the wiring or one of the switches
in the circuit. (efer to 1ection 89 for the switch
testing procedures, and also the wiring diagrams
at the end of this "hapter.
8=n 899C to 899> T05 models, a diode is fitted
in the headlight circuit .see >iring *iagrams at

disconnect it from the harness. +sing an
ohmmeter or continuity tester, connect the
positive .^ve/ probe to the female terminal of the
diode and the negative .#ve/ probe to the male
terminal. The diode should show continuity. )ow
reverse the probes. The diode should show no
