MEASURING THE COMPRESSION
PRESSURE
The following procedure applies to all of the cyl-
inders.
NOTE:
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 3-3.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove:
• Rider seat
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 4-1.
• Fuel tank
Refer to “FUEL TANK” on page 7-1.
• T-bar

4. Disconnect the all spark plug caps.
5. Remove:
• Spark plug
CAUTION:
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).
