2-36 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

•

Check the steering action again.

If steering stem bearing lubrication does not remedy the

problem, inspect the steering stem for straightness, steer-

ing stem clamps, and tie-rod bearings.

If you feel looseness, or if the steering rattles as it turns,

check the tightness of the steering bolts and nuts.

•

Tighten loose bolts and nuts to the specified torque (see

Steering chapter), and check the steering action again.

If the steering action does not change by tightening the

bolts and nuts, inspect the steering stem clamps, steer-

ing stem bearings, tie-rod bearings, and steering knuckle

joints.

Electrical System

Spark Plug Cleaning/Inspection

•

Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug Removal in the

Electrical System chapter).

•

Clean the spark plug, preferably in a sandblasting device,

and then clean off any abrasive particles. The plug may

also be cleaned using a wire brush or other suitable tool.

If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged,

or if the insulator is cracked, replace the plug. Use the

standard spark plug or its equivalent.

Spark Plug Gap Inspection

•

Measure the gap [A] with a wire-type thickness gauge.

If the gap is incorrect, carefully bend the side electrode

[B] with a suitable tool to obtain the correct gap.

Spark Plug Gap

0.7 ∼ 0.8 mm (0.028 ∼ 0.032 in.)

Rear Brake Light Switc h Inspection

•

Turn on the ignition switch.

•

Check the operation of the rear brake light switch by de-

pressing the brake pedal.

If it does not as specified, adjust the brake light timing.

Brake Light Timing

Standard: On after about 10 mm (0.4 in.) of pedal

travel [A]

Rear Brake Light Timing Adjustment

•

Adjust the brake light switch [A] up or down. To change

the switch position, turn the adjusting nut [B].

Light sooner as the body rises [C]

Light later as the body lowers [D]

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the electrical connections in-

side the switch, be sure that the switch body does

not turn during adjustment.
