OUTLINE OF FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the optimum
air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric temperature.
In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the combustion
chamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the fuel that is metered by the jet used in the
respective carburetor.
Despite the same volume of intake air, the fuel volume requirement varies by the engine operating
conditions, such as acceleration, deceleration, or operating under a heavy load. Carburetors that me-
ter the fuel through the use of jets have been provided with various auxiliary devices, so that an opti-
mum air-fuel ratio can be achieved to accommodate the constant changes in the operating conditions
of the engine.
As the requirements for the engine to deliver more performance and cleaner exhaust gases increase, it
becomes necessary to control the air-fuel ratio in a more precise and finely tuned manner. To accom-
modate this need, this model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system, in
place of the conventional carburetor system. This system can achieve an optimum air-fuel ratio re-
quired by the engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel injection volume
according to the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.
The adoption of the FI system has resulted in a highly precise fuel supply, improved engine response,
better fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions. Furthermore, the air induction system (AI sys-
tem) has been placed under computer control together with the FI system in order to realize cleaner
exhaust gases.

FI SYSTEM
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the fuel
pressure that is applied to the injector at only 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm2). Accordingly, when the energizing
signal from the ECU energizes the injector, the fuel passage opens, causing the fuel to be injected into
the intake manifold only during the time the passage remains open. Therefore, the longer the length of
time the injector is energized (injection duration), the greater the volume of fuel that is supplied. Con-
versely, the shorter the length of time the injector is energized (injection duration), the lesser the vol-
ume of fuel that is supplied.
The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals that are input from the
throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, intake air pressure sensor, intake temperature
sensor and coolant temperature sensor enable the ECU to determine the injection duration. The injec-
tion timing is determined through the signals from the crankshaft position sensor. As a result, the vol-
ume of fuel that is required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance with the driving
conditions.

INSTRUMENT FUNCTION
Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped with the
following:
S a speedometer (which shows the riding
speed)
S an odometer (which shows the total distance
traveled)
S two tripmeters (which show the distance
traveled since they were last set to zero)
S a fuel reserve tripmeter (which shows the
1 Multi-function display distance traveled since the bottom segment
2 “SELECT” button of the fuel meter started flashing)
3 “RESET” button S a tachometer (which shows the engine
4 Engine trouble warning light speed)
S a fuel meter
S a water temperature
S a clock
S a intake air temperature
S a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:
S Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before using the “SELECT” and ”RESET” buttons.
S For the U.K. only: To switch the speedometer and odometer/tripmeter display between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT” button for at least two seconds.
Odometer, tripmeter and tachometer modes

Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display between the odometer mode “ODO” and the trip-
meter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” and the tachometer mode “E” is the following order:
ODO ! TRIP 1 ! TRIP 2 ! (TRIP F) ! E ! ODO
When approximately 3.6 L of fuel remain in the fuel tank, the bottom segment of the fuel meter will start
flashing, and the odometer display will automatically change to the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP
F” and start counting the distance traveled from that point. In that case, pushing the “SELECT” button
switches the display between the various tripmeter and odometer modes in the following order:
TRIP-F ! E ! ODO ! TRIP 1 ! TRIP 2 ! TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SELECT” button, and then push the “RESET” button for at
least one second. If you do not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset itself automatically
and the display will return to the prior mode after refueling and traveling 5 km (3.1 mi).
Tachometer mode
Displays the digital indication of the engine speed on the odometer section.
Air intake temperature indicator.
When “ODO” is displayed, pressing the “RESET” for a long time allows the indicator to switch displays
between Clock and Air intake temperature. (It activates the clock indication when the main switch is
turned OFF.)
In the Co adjustment mode, the indication automatically changes from clock (Air intake temperature) to
the engine speed.

d. Locate the rounded number of the original
valve pad and the measured valve clearance
in the valve pad selection table. The point
where the column and row intersect is the
new valve pad number.
NOTE:
The new valve pad number is only an approxi-
mation. The valve clearance must be measured
again and the above steps should be repeated if
the measurement is still incorrect.

LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN

The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained proper-
ly, it will wear out rapidly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
motorcycle is used in dusty areas.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings between each side plate. Steam
cleaning, high-pressure washing, certain sol-
vents, and the use of a coarse brush can dam-
age these O-rings. Therefore, use only kerosine
to clean the drive chain. Wipe the drive chain dry
and thoroughly lubricate it with engine oil or
chain lubricant that is suitable for O-ring chains.
Do not use any other lubricants on the drive
chain since they may contain solvents that
could damage the O-rings.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY ADJ
EAS00178
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of poi-
sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
S Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
S Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
S Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
S DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
S KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
S Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
S Skin – Wash with water.
S Eyes – Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
S Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or
vegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-
tion.
CAUTION:
S This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance between
cells will not be maintained and battery per-
formance will deteriorate.
S Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batter-
ies. The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
3-59
CHK
NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible
to check the charge state of the battery by mea-
suring the specific gravity of the electrolyte.
Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be
checked by measuring the voltage at the battery
terminals.
1. Remove:
S rider seat
S fuel tank
2. Disconnect:
S battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
CAUTION:
First, disconnect the negative battery lead
1 , and then the positive battery lead 2 .

Time (minutes)
Check the open-circuit
voltage. CAUTION:
S Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.
S Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause bat-
tery overheating and battery plate damage.
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
S When charging a battery, be sure to remove
it from the motorcycle. (If charging has to
be done with the battery mounted on the
motorcycle, disconnect the negative bat-
tery lead from the battery terminal.)
S To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the battery
charger leads are connected to the battery.
S Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
S Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery terminal
and that they are not shorted. A corroded
battery charger lead clip may generate heat
in the contact area and a weak clip spring
may cause sparks.
S If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process, dis-
connect the battery charger and let the bat-
tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot batter-
ies can explode!
S As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an MF battery stabi-
lizes about 30 minutes after charging has
been completed. Therefore, wait 30 min-
utes after charging is completed before
measuring the open-circuit voltage.

ECU’S SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic function in order to ensure that the engine control system is
operating normally. If this function detects a malfunction in the system, it immediately operates the en-
gine under substitute characteristics and illuminates the engine trouble warning light to alert the rider
that a malfunction has occurred in the system. Once a malfunction has been detected, a fault code is
stored in the memory of the ECU.
S To inform the rider that the fuel injection system is not functioning, the engine trouble warning light
flashes when the start switch is being pushed to start the engine.
S If a malfunction is detected in the system by the self-diagnostic function, this mode provides an ap-
propriate substitute characteristic operation, and alerts the rider of the detected malfunction by illumi-
nating an engine trouble warning light.
S After the engine has been stopped, the lowest fault code number appears on the LCD meter. Once a
fault code has been displayed, it remains stored in the memory of the ECU until it is deleted.

EAS00902
ALTERNATE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION CONTROL (FAIL-SAFE ACTION)

If the ECU detects an abnormal signal from a sensor while the vehicle is being driven, the ECU illumi-
nates the engine trouble warning light and provides the engine with alternate operating instructions
that are appropriate for the type of malfunction.
When an abnormal signal is received from a sensor, the ECU processes the specified values that are
programmed for each sensor in order to provide the engine with alternate operating instructions that
enable the engine to continue to operate or stop operating, depending on the conditions.
The ECU takes fail-safe actions in two ways: one in which the sensor output is set to a prescribed value,
and the other in which the ECU directly operates an actuator. Details on the fail-safe actions are given
in the table below.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM FI
EAS00507
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

AIR INJECTION
The air induction system burns unburned ex-
haust gases by injecting fresh air (secondary
air) into the exhaust port, reducing the emission
of hydrocarbons.
When there is negative pressure at the exhaust
port, the reed valve opens, allowing secondary
air to flow into the exhaust port. The required
temperature for burning the unburned exhaust
gases is approximately 600 to 700_C (1112 to
1292_F).
EAS0097
AIR CUT-OFF VALVE

The air cut-off valve is controlled by the signals
from the ECU in accordance with the combus-
tion conditions. Ordinarily, the air cut-off valve
opens to allow the air to flow during idle and
closes to cut-off the flow when the motorcycle is
being driven. However, if the coolant tempera-
ture is below the specified value, the air cut-off
valve remains open and allows the air to flow
into the exhaust pipe until the temperature be-
comes higher than the specified value.

STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM

OPERATION
If the engine stop switch is set to “ ” and the
main switch is set to “ON” (both switches are
closed), the starter motor can only operate if at
least one of the following conditions is met:
S The transmission is in neutral (the neutral
switch is closed).
S The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar (the
clutch switch is closed) and the sidestand is up
(the sidestand switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the

starter motor from operating when neither of
these conditions has been met. In this instance,
the starting circuit cut-off relay is open so cur-
rent cannot reach the starter motor. When at
least one of the above conditions has been met
the starting circuit cut-off relay is closed and the
engine can be started by pressing the starter
switch.

CHECKING THE FUEL PUMP

WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and under
certain circumstances there can be a danger
of an explosion or fire. Be extremely careful
and note the following points:
S Stop the engine before refueling.
S Do not smoke, and keep away from open
flames, sparks, or any other source of fire.
S If you do accidentally spill gasoline, wipe it
up immediately with dry rags.
S If gasoline touches the engine when it is
hot, a fire may occur. Therefore, make sure
the engine is completely cool before per-
forming the following test.
1. Check:
S Fuel pump operation
a. Fill the fuel tank.

b. Put the end of the fuel hose into an open con-
tainer.
c. Connect the battery (DC 12 V) to the fuel
pump coupler as shown.
Positive battery lead ! red/blue 1

Negative battery lead ! black 2
