MEASURE THE COMPRESSION PRESSURE
The following procedure applies to all of the cyl-
inders.
TIP
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a
loss of performance.
1. Measure:
Valve clearance
Out of specification Adjust.
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEAR-
ANCE” on page 3-5.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove:
Bottom side cowling
Side panel
Radiator cover
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS (1)” on
page 4-1.
4. Disconnect:
Spark plug cap
5. Remove:
Spark plug
NOTICE
ECA13340
Before removing the spark plugs, use com-
pressed air to blow away any dirt accumulat-
ed in the spark plug wells to prevent it from
falling into the cylinders.
6. Install:
Compression gauge “1”
7. Measure:
Compression pressure
Out of specification
Refer to steps (c) and (d).
a. Push the ON/start switch.
b. With the throttle wide open, crank the en-
gine until the reading on the compression
gauge stabilizes.
TIP
The difference in compression pressure be-
tween cylinders should not exceed 100 kPa
(1 kgf/cm², 14 psi).
c. If the compression pressure is above the
maximum specification, check the cylinder
head, valve surfaces and piston crown for
carbon deposits.
Carbon deposits Eliminate.
d. If the compression pressure is below the
minimum specification, pour a teaspoonful
of engine oil into the spark plug bore and
measure again.
Refer to the following table.
