Chapter 1 Tune-up and routine maintenance
25.11 Loosen the clamp and
disconnect the hose at each end of the
filter, then remove it from its bracket
26.3 Check above and below the fork
seals (arrow) for signs
of oil leakage
27.3 The linkage arms should be at right angles
to the rod
27.4 Loosen the locknuts and rotate the
rod to change its length; on some models,
the front nut has left-hand threads
(loosens clockwise)
28.6a If there's an air hose between the
forks, add air through the air charging
valve on the side
28.6b Use an accurate gauge when
measuring fork air pressure
11 Disconnect the lines from the filter and remove it from its bracket
(see illustration).
12 Install a new filter and reconnect the lines.
26 Suspension - check
Refer to illustration 26.3
1 The suspension components must be maintained in top operating
condition to ensure rider safety. Loose, worn or damaged suspension
parts decrease the vehicle's stability and control.
2 While standing alongside the motorcycle, lock the front brake and
push on the handlebars to compress the forks several times. See if
they move up-and-down smoothly without binding. If binding is felt,
the forks should be disassembled and inspected as described in
Chapter 5.
3 Carefully inspect the area around the fork seals for any signs of
fork oil leakage (see illustration). If leakage is evident, the seals must
be replaced as described in Chapter 5.
4 Check the tightness of all suspension nuts and bolts to be sure
none have worked loose.
5 Inspect the shock for fluid leakage and tightness of the mounting
nuts. If leakage is found, the shock should be replaced.
6 Support the bike securely so it can't be knocked over during this
procedure. Grab the swingarm on each side, just ahead of the axle.
Rock the swingarm from side to side - there should be no discernible
movement at the rear. If there's a little movement or a slight clicking
can be heard, make sure the pivot bolt or shafts are tight. If they're
tight but movement is still noticeable, the swingarm will have to be
removed and the bearings replaced as described in Chapter 5.
7 Inspect the tightness of the rear suspension nuts and bolts (refer
to the Chapter 5 Specifications).
27 Shift linkage adjustment
Refer to illustrations 27.3 and 27.4
1 Models with a rear set shift linkage can be adjusted by changing
the length of the linkage rod.
2 If you're working on an XV535 model, measure shift pedal height
and compare it to the value listed in this Chapter's Specifications.
3 Check the alignment of the shift pedal arm and the arm at the
other end of the linkage with the linkage rod. The two arms should be
at right angles to the rod (see illustration).
4 To adjust, loosen the locknuts and turn the linkage rod to change
its length, then tighten the locknuts (see illustration). Note: On some
models the front nut has left-hand threads (loosens clockwise).
28 Suspension adjustments
1 Suspension settings can be adjusted on some models. Note: The
forks must be in good condition with seals that don't leak in order to
make accurate adjustments. Warning: The front fork air pressure, the
fork- damping settings (if equipped) and the rear shock absorber
settings (twin-shock models) must be even to prevent unstable
handling.
2 On 1981 through 1983 models, front fork air pressure is
