PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-35
Periodic Maintenance Procedures

• Replace  the filter with a new one.
• Tighten the filter
  Apply grease   to the gasket [A] before installation.
•                    with the oil filter wrench.
    Special Tool - Oil Filter Wrench: 57001-1249
    Torque - Oil Filter: 17 N·m (1.7 kgf·m, 13 ft·lb)

                               NOTE
    ○Hand tightening of the oil filter can not be allowed since
      it does not reach to this tightening torque.

• Pour in the specified type and capacity of oil (see Engine
  Oil Change(2-33)).

Wheels/Tires
Air Pressure Inspection
• Remove  the air valve cap.
• [A] when the
  Measure      tire air pressure with an air pressure gauge
           the tires are cold (that is, when the motorcycle
    has not been ridden more than a mile during the past 3
    hours).
•   Install the air valve cap.
    Adjust the tire air pressure according to the specifications
    if necessary.
    Air Pressure (when Cold)
      Front:       Up to 220 kg (485 lb) load:
                     250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm², 36 psi)
      Rear:          Up to 220 kg (485 lb) load:
                     290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm², 42 psi)

Wheels and Tires Inspection
Wheel/Tire Damage Inspection
•Remove any imbedded stones [A] or other foreign parti-
 cles [B] from tread.
•Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, and replace
 the tire if necessary. Swelling or high spots indicate inter-
 nal damage, requiring tire replacement.
•Visually inspect the wheel for cracks, cuts and dents dam-
 age.
 If any damage is found, replace the wheel if necessary.
Tire Tread Wear Inspection
   As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more sus-
ceptible to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is
that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread
life (90% worn). So it is false economy and unsafe to use
the tires until they are bald.
•  Measure the tread depth at the center of the tread with a
   depth gauge [A]. Since the tire may wear unevenly, take
   measurement at several places.
   If any measurement is less than the service limit, replace
   the tire (see Tire Removal(10-13)) (see Tire Installa-
   tion(10-13)).
