as follows after confirming the engine is
cool.
• Remove both seats (
page 153 ).
• Disconnect the maintenance joint.
• Start the engine at idle speed (without
pulling the throttle lever) and spray a
water-displacement corrosion-proof
lubricant (without Teflon or molybdenum
additives, such as CRC 6-56 or an
equivalent) into joint hole A for 5
seconds. Refer to the illustration of

• Then immediately stop the engine.
• Perform the same procedure for joint hole

• Reconnect the maintenance joint and
make sure it tightened securely.
Avoid running the engine without water flow
for more than 15 seconds to prevent severe
engine and exhaust system damage.
