2 Introduction to tune-up and routine maintenance
Refer to illustrations 2.3a, 2.3b and 2.3c
This Chapter covers in detail the checks and procedures
necessary for the tune-up and routine maintenance of your
motorcycle. Section 1 includes the routine maintenance schedule,
which is designed to keep the machine in proper running condition and
prevent possible problems. The remaining Sections contain detailed
procedures for carrying out the items listed on the maintenance
schedule, as well as additional maintenance information designed to
increase reliability.
Since routine maintenance plays such an important role in the
safe and efficient operation of your motorcycle, it is presented here as
a comprehensive check list. For the rider who does all his own
maintenance, these lists outline the procedures and checks that
should be done on a routine basis.
Maintenance information is printed on labels attached to the
motorcycle (see illustrations). If the information on the labels differs
from that included here, use the information on the label.
Deciding where to start or plug into the routine maintenance
schedule depends on several factors. If you have a motorcycle whose
warranty has recently expired, and if it has been maintained according
to the warranty standards, you may want to pick up routine
maintenance as it coincides with the next mileage or calendar interval.
If you have owned the machine for some time but have never
performed any maintenance on it, then you may want to start at the
nearest interval and include some additional procedures to ensure that
nothing important is overlooked. If you have just had a major engine
overhaul, then you may want to start the maintenance routine from the
beginning. If you have a used machine and have no knowledge of its
3.3b ... and this is an XV920 (other 700 through 1100
models similar)
history or maintenance record, you may desire to combine all the
checks into one large service initially and then settle into the
maintenance schedule prescribed.
The Sections which outline the inspection and maintenance
procedures are written as step-by-step comprehensive guides to the
performance of the work. They explain in detail each of the routine
inspections and maintenance procedures on the check list. References
to additional information in applicable Chapters is also included and
should not be overlooked.
Before beginning any maintenance or repair, the machine should
be cleaned thoroughly, especially around the oil filter, spark plugs,
cylinder head covers, side covers, carburetors, etc. Cleaning will help
ensure that dirt does not contaminate the engine and will allow you to
detect wear and damage that could otherwise easily go unnoticed.
3 Fluid levels - check
Engine oil
Refer to illustrations 3.3a, 3.3b, 3.4a and 3.4b
1 Run the engine and allow it to reach normal operating
temperature. Caution: Do not run the engine in an enclosed space
such as a garage or shop.
2 Stop the engine and allow the machine to sit undisturbed for
about five minutes.
3 Hold the motorcycle level. With the engine off, check the oil level
in the window located at the lower part of the right crankcase cover.
The oil level should be between the Maximum and Minimum level
marks next to the window (see illustrations).
