GENERAL NOTES

Gaskets, seal rings and O-rings

- Gaskets, seal rings and O-rings must generally be replaced when overhauling the engine. The sealing faces must be thoroughly cleaned.

Lock washers and split pins- After removal replace all lock washers (1) and

split pins.After tightening the nut, lock washer (1) must be bent up against the side of the nut.

Bearings and radial seals- When assembling bearings (1) make sure that

manufacturer name or number point to the outside. Lubricate the bearings with oil.

ATTENTIONDo not use compressed air to dry the bearings since this could damage the surface of the bearings.

- When assembling radial seals (1) make sure that manufacturer name or number point to the outside. Apply a thin coat of lightly viscous engine oil to the seal lips.

Circlips- Circlips must be thoroughly inspected before instal-

lation.- Piston pin circlips must not be assembled again. - Warped circlips must be renewed.- When assembling a circlip (1) make sure that

the sharp edged side (2) is positioned op-posite the side subjected to the force (3) ap-plied to the circlip. See cross-sectional drawing (4 = shaft).

TAPPET CLEARANCEInspect every 12 000 km.INSPECTION- Remove the fuel tank.- Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove the

spark plug.- Remove the cylinder head cover.The tappet clearance specification is different for both intake and exhaust valves.Tappet clearance adjustment must be checked and adjusted:- at the time of periodic inspection when the valve mechanism is serviced- when the camshafts are removed for servicing.

Tappet clearance (when cold): IN.: 0,10-0,20 mm EX.: 0,20-0,30 mm

NOTEThe piston must be at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke in order to check or adjust the tappet clearance.The tappet clearance should only be checked when the engine is cold.

- Remove the generator cover cap (1) and valve timing inspection plug (2).

- Rotate the crankshaft with a box wrench to set the piston at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. (Rotate the crankshaft until the "T" line on the generator rotor is aligned with the center of the hole in the generator cover.)

- lnsert a thickness gauge between the tappet and the cam. If the clearance is out of specification, adjust it to specification as follows.

Tool: Thickness gauge

SACHS XTC 125 4-stroke

SACHS XTC 125 4-stroke

ADJUSTMENTThe clearance is adjusted by replacing the existing tappet shim with a thicker or thinner shim.- Remove the intake or exhaust camshafts.- Remove the tappet and shim by hand or with a

magnet.

- Check the numbers printed on the tappet shim. These numbers indicate the thickness of the tap-pet shim, as illustrated.

- Select a replacement tappet shim that will provide the proper clearance. Tappet shims are available in 21 sizes, ranging from 1.20 to 2.20 mm in incre-ments of 0.05 mm. lnstall the selected shim (1) at the valve stem end, with the numbers facing towards the tappet. Be sure to measure the shim with a micrometer to ensure that it is of the proper size.

Refer to the tappet shim selection table for de-tails.

NOTEBe sure to apply engine oil to the top and bottom faces of the tappet shim.When installing the tappet shim, make sure that the side with the numbers face towards the tappet.

CAUTIONReinstall the Camshafts as specified.

- After replacing the tappet shim and camshafts, ro-tate the crankshaft so that the tappet is depressed fully (this will squeeze out any oil trapped between the tappet shim and the tappet that could cause an incorrect measurement). After rotating the crank-shaft, check the tappet clearance again to make sure that it is within specification.

- When installing the cylinder head cover, apply SU-ZUKI BOND NO.1207B to the cam end caps of the cylinder head cover gasket.

SUZUKI BOND NO.1207B

- Tighten the cylinder head cover bolts to specifica-tion in two stages.

Cylinder head cover bolt: Initial 10 Nm Final 14 Nm

ENGINE OILCAUTIONDo not use additives. Since the oil also serves to lubricate the clutch, do not use car engine oils supplemented with friction modifiers (such energy-conserving oils can lead to the clutch slipping). Use a suitable, light engine oil for motorcycles, such as Motorex SAE 10W/40 mineral oil API (SG or higher).If required, replenish the engine oil (for classification and viscosity, see the table) via the oil filter opening.

Recommended grade:Per API: SG or higher or also with additional release status: ACEA A3/96 (CCMC G5).

Recommended viscosity:

Viscosity depends on the outside temperature. For short while, the temperature may exceed or fall short of the limits of the SAE grades.

The recommended viscosity grade SAE 10W/40 covers the ambient temperature range –10 °C to +40 °C and therefore represents the optimum for our latitudes.

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

ENGINE OIL

Replace initally at 1.000 km

Replace every 4.000 km

The engine oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filter replacement at the above intervals, should be done together with the engine oil change.

CAUTIONCatch old oil and dispose of environmentally.Do not run the engine in closed rooms without proper extraction of fumes.- Keep the motorcycle upright.- Place an oil pan below the engine, and drain the

engine oil by removing the oil drain plug (1) and filler cap (2).

- Tighten the oil drain plug (1) to the specified torque, and pour new oil through the oil filler. When performing an oil change (without oil filter replacement), the engine will hold about 1.0 L of oil.

Oil drain plug: 18 Nm- Install the oll filter cap.- Start up the engine and allow it to run for several

seconds at idling speed.- Turn off the engine and wait about one minute,

then check the oil level through the inspection window (3). lf the level is below the "F" mark, add oil to the proper level.

WARNING - RISK OF ON-ROAD ACCIDENTObserve the legally prescribed minimum-profile depth.

- Measure the profile depth. Recommended minimum profile depth: 2.5 mm

- If the profile depth is less than the minimum, replace the tyre.

Check the tyre pressure:

Air pressure solo with passenger

Front 1.9 bar 1.9 bar

Rear 2.1 bar 2.3 bar

Checking the wheels for damage

- Check the wheels for any damage; replace if neces-sary.

- Requirements for the check: the column top bea-

ring, rear-wheel swing bearings, shock absorbers and tyres should be in order. Take a test ride. If the wheels/chassis do/does not move smoothly, align the wheels and check for wobble and height damage.

Checking the wheel bearings for play and damage

- Put the motorcycle on its standard, then check the wheel bearings by pushing the wheel to and fro to check for play. The bearings should not have a noticeable play; if play is noticeable, the bearings must be replaced.

- Rotate the wheel by hand. The wheel bearings should run evenly rather than roughly. Wheel bearings which run roughly must be replaced.

Checking the rear-wheel telescopic leg for opera-tion and leaks

- Firmly push down on the rear of the motorcycle several times. The rear-wheel telescopic leg must move in and out evenly without deformation.

- Check the rear-wheel telescopic leg for leaks, and the springs and fastening points for damage.

Checking the control cables for damage and smooth operation

- Check the choke, throttle and clutch cables for da-mage and smooth operation. Damaged or obstructed cables must be replaced.

- Adjust the cables.

Checking/greasing the side standard

- Check springs, fastening screws for firm seats. The side standard must independently fold back.

- Grease all moving parts.

Checking/repairing the exhaust system

- Check exhaust manifolds, silencers and gaskets for leaks; replace any faulty parts.

- Check rubber bearings for damage; replace, if ne-cessary.

- Tighten nuts and screws.

Tightening torques: Exhaust manifold cylinders: 15 Nm End silencer fastening: 10 Nm Exhaust fastening (rubber bearing): 20 Nm

Checking the rear-wheel vibration bearing

- Check the rear-wheel swing bearing for smooth operation and wear; if necessary, replace the swing bearing.

Final inspection

- Prepare for traffic safety: check the clutch, gear shifting, idle speed, handbrake and footbrake, handlebar control, indicator lights, light and signal systems; adjust as necessary.

- Check the tyre pressure; adjust if necessary.

- Take a test ride.

If the contact area is too low or too narrow, use the 45° cutter to raise and widen the contact area.

- After the desired seat position and width is achieved, use the 45° cutter very lightly to clean up any burrs caused by the previous cutting operations.

CAUTIONDO NOT use lapping compound after the final cut is made. The finished valve seat should have a velvety smooth finish and not a highly polished or shiny finish. This will provide a soft surface for the final seating of the valve which will occur during the first few seconds of engine operation.

- Clean and assemble the head and valve components. Fill the intake and exhaust ports with gasoline to check for leaks. If any leaks occur, inspect the valve seat and face for burrs or other things that could prevent the valve from sealing.

WARNINGAlways use extreme caution when handling gasoline.

NOTEAfter servicing the valve seats, be sure to check the tappet clearance after the cylinder has been reinstalled.

GEARSHIFT FORKSMeasure the gearshift fork clearance in the groove of its respective gear using the thickness gauge.The clearance for each of the two gearshift forks plays an important role in the smoothness and positiveness of the shifting action. Each fork has its prongs fitted into the annular groove provided in its gear. During operation there is sliding contact between the fork and gear and, when a shifting action is initiated, the fork pushes the gear axially. If the clearance is too great, the meshed gears may slip apart.If the clearance exceeds the specification, replace the fork, its respective gear or both.

1 Piston valve2 Diaphragm chamber3 Orifice4 SpringA Venturi

DIAPHRAGM AND PISTON OPERATIONThe carburetor is a variable-venturi type, whose venture cross sectional area is increased or decreased automatically by the piston valve (1) The piston valve moves according to the negative pressure present on the downstream side of the venturi (A). Negative pressure is admitted into the diaphragm chamber (2) through an orifice (3) provided in the piston valve (1).

LOWER POSITION OF THE PISTON VALVE UPPER POSITION OF THE PISTON VALVE

NEGATIVE PRESSURE

Rising negative pressure overcomes the spring (4) force, causing the piston valve (1) to rise into the diaphragm chamber and prevent the air velocity from increasing. Thus, air velocity in the venturi passage is kept relatively constant for improved fuel atomization and the precise air/ fuel mixture.

Page 102: Manual motorbike Sachs XTC

98

SACHS XTC 125 4-stroke

99

SACHS XTC 125 4-stroke

MAIN SYSTEMAs the throttle valve (1) is opened, the engine speed rises, and negative pressure in the venturi increases. This causes the piston valve (2) to move upward.

The fuel in the float chamber is metered by the main jet (3). The metered fuel enters the needle jet (4), mixes with the air admitted through the main air jet (5) and forms an emulsion.

The emulsified fuel then passes through the clearance between the needle jet (4) and jet needle (6) and is discharged into the venturi, where it meets the main air stream being drawn by the engine.

Mixture proportioning is accomplished in needle jet (4). The clearance through which the emulsified fuel must flow ultimately depends on throttle position.

AIR

AIR/FUEL MIXTURE

FUEL

SLOW SYSTEMThis system supplies fuel during engine operation when the throttle valve is closed or slightly opened.

The fuel from the float chamber is metered by the pilot jet (1) where it mixes with air coming in through the pilot air jet (2).

This mixture, rich with fuel, then goes up through the pilot passage to the pilot screw (3).

Part of the mixture is discharged into the main bore through bypass ports. The mixture is metered by the pilot screw (3) and sprayed into the main bore through the pilot outlet port.

FUEL

STARTER SYSTEMSliding the choke lever pulls the starting plunger (1) which causes fuel to be drawn into the starter circuit from the float chamber.

The starter jet (2) meters this fuel. The fuel then flows into the fuel pipe and mixes with the air coming from the float chamber. The mixture, rich in fuel, reaches the starter plunger and mixes again with the air coming through a passage extending from behind the diaphragm.

The two successive mixtures of the fuel with the air provide the proper air/ fuel mixture for starting. This occurs when the mixture is sprayed through the starter outlet port into the main bore.

FLOAT SYSTEMThe float (1) and needle valve (2) work in conjunction with one another. As the float moves up and down, so does the needle valve (2).

When there is a high fuel level in the float chamber, the float (1) rises and the needle valve (2) pushes up against the valve seat. When this occurs, no fuel enters the float chamber.

As the fuel level falls, the float (1) lowers and the needle valve unseats itself, admitting fuel into the float chamber. In this manner, the needle valve (2) admits and shuts off fuel to maintain the appropriate fuel level inside the float chamber.

IGNITION SYSTEMThis motorcycle is equipped with a new type of ignition system which minimizes timing fluctuations. A CPU is used and accurately controls ignition timing depending on the engine r/min.A DC-DC convertor in the CDI unit increases the battery voltage and charges the capacitor. An SCR, which is con-nected to the capacitor, becomes conductive (turn on) when a signal is sent to the SCR gate from the CPU.(The ignition timing is controlled by the CPU which processes the pick-up coil pulses to from the SCR gate signal. The signal is then sent to the SCR just when the crankshaft has reached the best ignition timing for the current revo-lutions).This allows the electric energy, which is stored in the capacitor, to discharge instantly and flow to the primary winding of the ignition coil.A high voltage current is induced in the secondary winding of the ignition coil resulting in a strong spark between the spark plug gap.

INSPECTIONIGNITION COIL (checking with the electro tester)- Remove the fuel tank.- Remove the ignition coil (1).

NOTEMake sure that the three-needle sparking distance of the electro tester is set at 8 mm.

Test the ignition coil for proper sparking performance using the electro tester.

- Connect the test leads as shown in the illustra-tion.

- Check the sparking condition in the test gap for at least five minutes.

If no spark or an orange color spark occurs, the igni-tion coil may be defective.

Tool: Electro testerSpark performance: Over 8 mm

WARNINGDo not touch the wire clips to prevent an electric shock when testing.

CAUTIONWhen using the electro tester, follow the instruc-tion manual.

IGNITION COIL (checking with the pocket tester)A pocket tester or an ohm meter may be used, instead of the electro tester. In either case, the ignition coil is to be checked for continuity in both primary and sec-ondary windings. Exact ohm readings are not neces-sary, but, if the windings are in sound condition, their continuity should be close to the specified values.
