Precautions For Liquid Gasket BBS002R5

REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

● After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating LU
surface using a seal cutter and remove the liquid gasket.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
C
● In areas where the seal cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic
hammer to lightly tap the gasket area.
CAUTION:
D
If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-bladed
screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating sur-
faces.
PBIC0275E
E
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the
gasket application surface and the mating surface. F
● Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket application surface, mounting bolts and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the gasket application surface and the mating surface with G
white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser. H
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
PBIC0003E

I
4. Apply the gasket without breaks to the specified location with the
specified dimensions.
● If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the J
gasket to the groove.

L
EMA0622D

● As for the bolt holes, normally apply the gasket inside the holes. M
Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes. Make sure
to read the instruction in this manual.
● Within five minutes of gasket application, install the mating com-
ponent.
● If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
● Do not retighten after the installation.
● After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
the engine oil and coolant.
CAUTION: SEM164F
If there are additional instructions in this manual, observe them.

OIL LEVEL AND CONTAMINATION

● Before starting the engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the oil level. If the engine is already started,
stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
● Check that the oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
● If oil level is outside the range, adjust level.
● Check the oil for white turbidity or remarkable contamination.
● If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is
contaminated with coolant. Find the cause and repair.
● When oil level gauge is inserted in guide, apply engine oil to rub-
ber seal of grip.

PBIC1466E

OIL LEAK
Check the following parts for engine oil leaks.
● Oil pan
● Oil pan drain plug
● Oil pressure switch
● Oil filter
● Front cover
● Cylinder head front cover
● Mating surfaces of cylinder block and cylinder head
● Mating surfaces of cylinder head and rocker cover
● Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)

OIL LEVEL AND MUDDINESS

● Before starting the engine, check the oil level placing vehicle LU
horizontally. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow 10
minutes before checking.
● Make sure the oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
C
● If it is out of range, adjust it.
● Check the oil for white turbidity or remarkable contamination.
● If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is D
contaminated with coolant. Find the cause and repair.

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
J
WARNING:
● Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
● Oil pressure check should be done in Neutral “N” position.
K
1. Check the oil level. Refer to LU-23, "OIL LEVEL AND MUDDI-
NESS" .
2. Remove engine undercover. L
3. Remove the oil pressure switch to connect the oil pressure
gauge (special service tool).
4. After warming up the engine, make sure oil pressure corre- M
sponding to the engine speed is produced.
Idle speed : Approx. 120 kPa (1.2 bar, 1.22 kg/cm2 ,
17.4 psi)
MBIB0549E
3000 rpm : Approx. 350 kPa (3.5 bar, 3.57 kg/cm2 ,
50.8 psi)
5. After checking, install the oil pressure switch as follows.
a. Remove old sealant adhering to the switch and engine.
b. Apply thread sealant.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
Oil pressure switch:
: 25 N·m (2.55 kg-m, 18.4 ft-lb)
6. Start engine and check for oil leakage.

skin contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
1. Put vehicle horizontally.
2. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine components.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
5. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
● Refer to MA-24, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Oil capacity (Approximate):

With oil filter change 4.40 (3-7/8 Imp qt)

Drain and refill
Without oil filter change 4.24 (3-3/4 Imp qt)
Dry engine (overhaul) 4.56 (4 Imp qt)

● The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain MBIB0548E
time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to the determine when the proper amount of oil is in the engine.
CAUTION:
● Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
