CAM CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
If cam chain is too slack which will affect valve timing
and influence engine operation.
Adjust the chain according to the following procedure:
Check the cam chain by listening for chain noise during
the engine idling speed.
When the chain produces a chattering noise, it is an
indication that the chain is too loose, and if it is a
whining noise the chain is too tight.
Loosen the cam chain adjuster lock nut and turn the
adjusting bolt to make the adjustment.
Adjust the chain’s tension to the point where the chain is operating quietly, over tightening will cause the
chain to “whine”. Do not forget to tighten the lock nut after completing the adjustment.
Turning the adjusting bolt counterclockwise tightens the chain.
TIRE INSPECTION
! Tires should be checked and inflated with the engine shut off.
! If a tire’s ground contacting curve is abnormal, check it with an air pressure gauge and inflate it to the
specified pressure.
! Tires pressure must be checked with an air pressure gauge when cold.
! Visual check tires for frontal and lateral side walls
for crack or damage.
! Visual check tires for any nails or small stones
wedged in the tread.
! Check the “tread wear indicator” condition to see
if tread groove depth is insufficient.
! A tire with a wear bar showing is worn out and
should be replaced immediately.
