Check the mesh screen is in good condition.
Use a soft brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen. Be careful to avoid damaging the spark arrester screen.
The spark arrester must be free of breaks and holes, replace it if necessary.

'05-'07: Install a new gasket, spark arrester assembly and bolts.
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
TORQUE: 12 N m (1.2 kgf-m, 9 Ibf ft)
After'07: Apply molybdenum disulfide grease (TB1901 or equivalent) to the bolt threads.
Install a new gasket, spark arrester assembly and bolts.
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.

Support the motorcycle upright on a level surface.
Check the sidestand spring for damage or loss of tension.
Check the sidestand assembly for freedom of movement and lubricate the sidestand pivot sliding surface if necessary.
Check the pivot bolt and nut on the sidestand. Tighten the pivot bolt to the specified torque.
Loosen the pivot bolt counterclockwise 45° - 90°, and tighten the pivot nut to the specified torque while holding the pivot bolt.
TORQUE:
Sidestand pivot bolt:
10 N-m (1.0 kgf-m, 7 lbf-ft) - 45c to 90;
Sidestand pivot nut:

Check the action of the forks by operating the front brakes and compressing the front suspension several times.
Check the entire assembly for signs of leaks, damage or loose fasteners.
Make sure the fork protectors and dust seals are clean and not packed with mud and dirt.
Remove any dirt that has accumulated on the bottom of the fork seals.
Replace damaged components which cannot be repaired.
Tighten all nuts and bolts.
For fork service (page 14-13).
Air pressure acts as a progressive spring and affects the entire range of fork travel.

PRESSURE RELEASE SCREW |
Air is an unstable gas; it increases in pressure as it is worked (such as in a fork), so the fork action on this motorcycle will get stiffer as the race progresses.
Release built-up air pressure from the fork legs after practice and between motos.
Be sure the fork is fully extended with the front tire off the ground.
Loosen the pressure release screws fully, then tighten them.
TORQUE: 1.2 N m (0.1 kgf m, 0.9 Ibf ft)

Check the action of the shock absorber by compressing it several times.
|
SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY |
|
|
Lift the sub-frame (page 6-11).
Check the entire shock absorber assembly for signs of leaks, damage or loose fasteners.
Replace damaged components which cannot be repaired.
Tighten all nuts and bolts.
For shock absorber service (page 15-14).
Lower the sub-frame (page 6-25).

Raise the rear wheel off the ground by placing a workstand or equivalent under the engine.
Check for worn swingarm bearings by grabbing the rear swingarm and attempting to move the swingarm side-to-side.
Replace the bearings if excessively worn (page 1539).
Check the shock linkage and replace any damaged needle bearings.
Disassemble, clean, inspect the swingarm and shock linkage pivot bearings and related seals about
7.5 hours of operation (page 15-32).
