and protect the casting. "pop" the in inner CV
joint out from the front gearcase.
INSPECTION
NOTE: The boots are subjected to a lot of abuse if
the vehicle is ridden in rough terrain. If the boots are
damage and left un-repaired, the driveshaft joints will
fair prematurely by allowing the joint to be exposed
to dirt, mud and moisture. This also allow the loss of
critical lubrication.

and replace if necessary as described under the
Disassembly / Assembly procedure in this
chapter.
2. Move each end of the drive shaft in a circular
motion (and also a reciprocate for inner one) and
check the drive shaft joints for excessive wear or
play.
3. This inner CV joint (inboard pivot joint) can be
serviced if there is wear or play. The outer CV
joint (outboard pivot joint) cannot be serviced if
worn or damage and if necessary, the drive shaft
assembly must be replaced.

2. Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25’(7.6m) from a wall.
3. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a mark on the wall at
the same height.
4. Start the engine and turn the headlight switch to high beam.
5. Observe headlight aim. The most intense part of the headlight beam should be aimed 2’ (51mm)
below the mark placed on the wall in step 2. NOTE : Riding weight must be included on the
seat.
6. Loosen but not remove pivot bolt/ screw and adjust beam to desired position.
7. Tighten nut and bolt / screw.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can result from contact with
skin, eyes or clothing Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
lnternal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or
vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when
charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.
WARNING: The gases given off by a battery are explosive. Any spark or open flame near a battery
can cause an explosion which will spray battery acid on anyone close to it. If battery acid gets on
anyone, wash the affected area with large quantities of cool water and seek immediate medical
attention.
Battery Maintenance
1. If the vehicle will not be used for more than one month, remove the battery, fully charge it,
and then place it in a cool, dry place. If the battery will be stored for more than two months,
check it at least once a month and fully charge it if necessar y.
CAUTION
To charge this battery, a specified battery charger is required. Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery.
2. Ensure to the cables are properly routed when installing the battery.
BATTERY TESTING
Whenever a service complaint is related to either the starting or charging systems, the battery
should be checked first.
Following are three tests which can easily be made on a battery to determine its condition: OCV
Test, Specific Gravity Test and Load Test.
MF (Maintenance Free) battery does not require the Specific Gravity Test and Refill
NOTE: Lead acid batteries should be kept at or near a full charge as possible.
CAUTION: Remove spark plug high tension leads and connect securely to engine ground before
proceeding.
NOTE: This test can only be performed on machines with electric starters. This test cannot be
performed with an engine or starting system that is not working properly.
A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCV test and the specific gravity test, but still
may not have the storage capacity necessary to properly function in the electrical system. For this
reason, a battery capacity or load test should be conducted whenever poor battery performance is
encountered. To perform this test, hook a multitester to the battery in the same manner as was
done in the OCV test. The reading should be 12.6 volts or greater. Engage the electric starter and
view the registered battery voltage while cranking the engine. Continue the test for 15 seconds.
During this cranking period, the observed voltage should not drop below 9.5 volts. If the beginning
voltage is 12.6 or higher and the cranking voltage drops below 9.5 volts during the test, replace the
battery.
