How to Use This Manual
Finding Information You Need
This manual is divided into sections which cover each of the major components of the motorcycle. To quickly find the section you are interested in, the first page of each section is marked with a black tab that lines up with one of the thumb index tables before this page. The first page of each section lists the table of contents within the section. Read the service information and troubleshooting related to the section before you begin working.
An index of the entire book is provided in the last chapter to directly locate the information you need.
Note on the Explanation Method of This Manual
The removal and installation of parts are for the most part illustrated by large and clear illustrations that should provide the reader with visual aid in understanding the major point for servicing.
the system illustrations are augmented by callouts whose numbers or letters indicate the order in which the parts should be removed or installed.
The sequence of steps represented numerically are differentiated from the ones represented alphabetically to notify the reader that they must perform these steps seperately. For example, if the steps prior and up to camshaft removal are performed with the engine installed, but subsequent steps like cylinder head removal require engine removal, the callouts are grouped in numerical and alphabetical orders.
The illustrations may contain symbol marks to indicate necessary service procedures and precautions that need to be taken. Refer to the next page for the meaning of each symbol mark.
Also in the illustration is a chart that lists information such as the order in which the part is removed/installed, the name of the part, and some extra notes that may be needed.
Step by step instructions are provided to supplement the illustrations when detailed explanation of the procedure is necessary or illustrations alone will not suffice.
Service procedures required before or after the procedure described on that particular page, or inspection/adjustment procedures required following the installation of parts, and described under the title Requisite Service.
Standard workshop procedures and knowledge covered in the Common Service Manual are abbreviated in this manual.
