SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• This section covers service of the rocker arms, camshaft, valves and cylinder head. These parts can be serviced with the
engine installed in the frame.
• When disassembling, mark and store the disassembled parts to ensure that they are reinstalled in their original loca-
tions.
• Clean all disassembled parts with cleaning solvent and dry them by blowing them off with compressed air before
inspection.
• The rocker arm and camshaft lubricating oil is fed through the oil passages in the cylinder head and head cover. Clean
the oil passages before assembling.
• Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces when removing the cylinder head cover and cylinder head.
