If any stickiness is noted or ratchet mechanism is faulty, replace the cam chain tensioner assembly with a new one. If valve guides have to be removed for replacement after inspect- ing related parts, carry out the steps shown in valve guide ser- vicing. Seat the pilot snugly. Rotate the cutter one or two turns. Next, fit the ring in the cylinder, and measure each ring end gap using a thickness gauge. If any ring has an excess end gap, replace the ring. The gear turns one direction only. If a large resistance is felt to rotation, inspect the starter clutch for dam- age or inspect the starter clutch contacting surface of the starter driven gear for wear or damage. After a circlip has been removed from a shaft, it should be discarded and a new snap ring must be installed. The clearance for each of the three shifting forks plays an impor- tant role in the smoothness and positiveness of shifting action. If the clearance checked is noted to exceed the limit specified, replace the fork or its gear, or both. The following steps require special attention or precautionary measures should be taken. NOTE: Apply engine oil to each running and sliding part before reas- sembling.It will be easy to. NOTE: Arrow marks are located to forward.NOTE: Click sound is heard when the cam chain tension adjuster is released. The secondary drive bevel gear service requires engine removal and disassembly. Refer to the engine removal and the engine disassembly sections for secondary drive bevel gear assembly removal. If it is not within the specification, the shims must be changed.

OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows.These compensations are determined according to the signals from various sensors that detect the engine and driving conditions. SIGNAL DESCRIPTION ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SEN- When engine coolant temperature is low, injection time (vol- SOR SIGNAL ume) is increased. R) TO sensor signal (TOS) STP sensor signal (STP) TP sensor signal (TP) Blank Front cylinder IAP sensor signal (IAP. The function has two modes, “User mode” and “Dealer mode”. The user can only be notified by the LCD (DISPLAY) panel and LED (FI light). To check the function of the individual FI system devices, the dealer mode is prepared. Use the special tool’s coupler to connect to the dealer mode coupler. The memorized malfunction code is displayed on the LCD (DISPLAY) panel. Malfunction means that the ECM does not receive signal from the devices. These affected devices are indicated in the code form. STARTING RUNNING ITEM FAIL-SAFE MODE ABILITY ABILITY IAP sensor Intake air pressure is fixed to 760 “YES”. For this purpose, use of an inspection form such as below will facilitate collecting information required for proper analysis and diagnosis. Such disconnection will erase the memorized information in ECM memory. Such disconnection will erase the memorized information in ECM memory. This data is called “Show data when trouble”. Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving conditions (e.g., whether the engine was warm or not, where the motorcycle was running or stopped) when a malfunction was detected by checking the show data when trouble. If OK, then measure the CKP sensor resistance. 7) Disconnect the CKP sensor coupler and measure the resis- tance. If OK, then check the TP sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the TP sensor coupler. If OK, then measure the TP sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the TP sensor coupler. If OK, then check the ECT sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Remove the right frame cover.
If OK, then check the ECT sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the ECT sensor coupler. Connect the ECT sensor 1 to a circuit tester and place it in the oil 2 contained in a pan, which is placed on a stove. If OK, then check the IAT sensor lead wire continuity. 5) Remove the right frame cover. If OK, then check the IAT sensor lead wire continuity. 5) Disconnect the IAT sensor coupler. If OK, then check the TO sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the TO sensor coupler. If OK, then check the TO sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the TO sensor coupler. If OK, then check the STP sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the STP sensor coupler. If OK, then check the STP sensor lead wire continuity. 4) Disconnect the TO sensor coupler. Go to Step 2. Replace the injector with a new one. There is no fuel return hose. The fuel in the fuel tank is pumped up by the fuel pump and pressurized fuel flows into the injector installed in the fuel delivery pipe. NOTE: Be careful not to lift the fuel more than about 10 cm (3.94 in), or hoses will be twisted. If the fuel pump motor does not make operating sound, inspect the fuel pump circuit connections or inspect the fuel pump relay and tip-over sensor. First, check the insulation between A and B terminals with pocket tester. INSTALLATION Install the cooling fan in the reverse order of removal.If engine oil is leaking, visually inspect the oil seal and O-ring. Rotate the inner race by finger to inspect for abnor- mal noise and smooth rotation. Replace the bearing in the following procedure if there is any- thing unusual. NOTE: The rear fender removal is not necessary when the rear part of motorcycle can be lifted high enough to take the rear wheel out smoothly. Rotate the inner race by finger to inspect for abnor- mal noise and smooth rotation. Replace the bearing in the following procedure if there is anything unusual. If any defects are found, replace the spacers with new ones.

SWINGARM BEARING Insert the spacer into swingarm cushion rod upper side bearing and check the play to move the spacer up and down. NOTE: To install the final gear case easily, move the dust boot front and the universal joint back. Engage the universal joint to the propel- ler shaft first and then engage it to the secondary driven bevel gear shaft. BRAKE CALIPER REASSEMBLY AND REMOUNTING Reassemble and remount the brake caliper in the reverse order of removal and disassembly.MASTER CYLINDER INSPECTION MASTER CYLINDER Inspect the master cylinder bore for any scratches or damage. If any damages are found, replace the master cylinder with a new one. For this reason, it is recommended to use a tire changer that can satisfy this sealing requirement and can make the operation efficient as well as functional. Replace the valve with a new one if the seal A rubber is peeling or has damage. NOTE: If the external appearance of the valve shows no abnormal con- dition, removing of the valve is not necessary. The line must be equidistant from the wheel rim all around. If the distance between the rim line and wheel rim varies, this indicates that the bead is not properly seated. If this is the case, deflate the tire completely and unseat the bead for both sides. Are accessories being installed. Go to Step 3. Using the multi circuit tester, measure the voltage between three lead wires. If the tester reads under the specified value, replace the genera- tor with a new one. SIDE-STAND RELAY INSPECTION First check the insulation between D and E terminals with the tester. Go to Step 3. If the resistance is not within the stan- dard range, replace the ignition coil with a new one. This speedometer is light, thin and of high response compared to those currently in use because of this composition. Also, other LED lights (Neutral indicator light, High-beam indicator light and Turn signal indicator light) can be checked by depending on each switch posi- tion.
If the bulb remains lit, Test Battery bulb replace the unit with a new one.A: Vertical adjuster B: Horizontal adjuster NOTE: To adjust the headlight beam, adjust the beam horizontally first, then adjust vertically. If the turn signal light does not illuminate, inspect the bulb, turn signal switch and circuit connection. If any STARTER BUTTON abnormality is found, replace the respective switch Color Position assemblies with new ones.If any signs of cracking or electrolyte leakage from the sides of the battery have occurred, replace the battery with a new one.

They usually nest on gravelly open ground, hiding two very-camouflaged eggs. The young are cute fuzzballs that can fly after about three weeks. Bullbat is a colloquial name for these insect-eaters, which are related to Chuck-will’s-widows and our next bird, the Common Poorwill. I’ve never heard one here, but they are said to be common to uncommon summer residents in more western parts of Texas (and have been recorded here). According to Lives of North American Birds by Kenn Kaufman, this was the first bird known to enter a state of torpor in cold weather. It can remain torpid, with lowered body temperature, heartbeat, and breathing rate, for days to weeks during periods of bad weather and low food availability. Males are boldly colored with a sharp black mask bordered by white, a brilliant yellow throat, and shades of green and yellow on the rest of the body. Females lack the mask and have more subdued green and yellow coloration. These charming little warblers come through Wise County during spring and fall migration. They are big fellows and will eat anything from other dragonflies (including other darners) to mosquitoes to butterflies to wasps. According to John C. Abbott’s Dragonflies and Damselflies of Texas and the South-Central United States, they are one of the few North American dragonflies that migrate. The adults are quite beautiful, with black-and-blue eyespots and orange stripes on their rich brown wings. The caterpillars, whose diet includes plantain, snapdragon, loosestrife, and toadflax, are spiny black and white with yellow and orange markings. There’s nothing common about this lovely lep’s appearance! Ignore their names and check them out, because you never know what delights nature will send your way!
It’s the spot where the mother hummingbird is tied to for over a month; it is home for her growing young hummers; it is a natural wonder that cradles the tiny eggs but stretches as the young grow; and quite often it is that bump on a branch that looks so commonplace you may pass it by without a second glance. I looked up and saw a suspicious lump on the oak branch above my head. I used a mirror to look in it and found two tiny eggs. We enjoyed watching the young hummers grow from the almost naked hatching state to fully-feathered fledglings. The spiderweb binding allowed the nest to expand as the young grew larger. Many other bird nests are not so elaborate, but still serve their purpose. It’s usually a scrape in the ground that just provides a depression in which the four eggs rest. With the nest looking so much like the rest of the ground, the four camouflaged eggs can be nearly impossible to spot. Mockingbirds, for example, use sticks to make a cup that is lined with small rootlets and fine grass. Cardinal nests are similar but are made with more grass and leaves than sticks. The beautiful Painted Bunting also builds a cup nest, but it is smaller and more tightly woven than a cardinal nest. Barn Swallows often irritate homeowners by pasting sticky mud on porches for their nests, while Cliff Swallows frequently use bridges and overpasses to shelter and support their pottery-like globes. They build a new nest to raise each new brood. A few will reuse the old nesting material for the new nest. We have watched Blue-gray Gnatcatchers take apart their original nests and carry the fluff off to parts unknown for a new nest under construction. For example, Red-tailed Hawks are great nest recyclers. Great Blue Herons, too, will lay their eggs in the previous year’s nest, although they may add more sticks to it. A few songbirds (including phoebes, robins, and swallows) will sometimes refurbish their old nests for reuse.
It can be done in your spare moments of time, takes almost no planning, and can be as productive as an hour or two in the woods. In my yard, I’d look for chickadees, titmice, blue jays and cardinals. I know I’ll see them. Then, if I happen to see something like a Painted Bunting, Brown Thrasher or hummingbird, I really get excited! So pick a spot in the shade or behind a window, and wait patiently. Even a glint off a water-bottle can spook a bird. A cell phone ring certainly will. Birds want to scan a large area without being seen themselves. Like peanuts for Blue Jays, safflower for House Finches, black-oil sunflower for cardinals, nectar for hummingbirds and no-melt suet for the woodpeckers. Make sure the food’s fresh. Maybe some corn, too, to keep squirrels busy. Water here can mean life or death in a very short time. Keep the water clean too! If it’s your cat, keep him in the house. Mentally note things like overall size, bill shape, markings and what it’s eating. Repeat these clues out loud if you can. When he flies away, you have plenty of time to look in your book. Instead, train your eyes to take in the entire scene, picking up any movement. Once you see a bird, you can go for a closer look with binoculars. The sun was shining and the temperature was just right—not too chilly. One stop we made was at Unit 68, where Dan’s Pond harbored several ducks. I counted 17 Gadwalls and five Green-winged Teal on the pond. It also doesn’t help that I usually don’t get to spend much time watching them. In wet years it seems like they are spread out over many ponds and hard to find. In dry years there’s no place to find them. I just have trouble with ducks. This year I have been going to a small lake almost every day at lunchtime. It’s always covered with waterbirds. Most of the ducks on the lake are Gadwalls, but I usually also see a few tiny Green-winged Teal and the huge-beaked Northern Shovelers near the edges.
Lately there have been several elegant Northern Pintails foraging nearby, too. American Coots are as abundant as the Gadwalls at this lake. However, their duck-like habits notwithstanding, coots are in a different family (with rails, gallinules, and moorhens). They feed by tipping forward or putting their heads into shallow water. Some foods eaten by dabbling ducks include seeds, plant foliage, small fish, and invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, and mollusks. The ones I have seen there are a Canvasback, a Ring-necked Duck, and one or two Lesser Scaup. The bay ducks, also known as diving ducks, dive for their food in deeper water. Despite their different feeding habits, diving ducks eat similar foods as their dabbling cousins. They will occasionally dabble, too. They have slim, sharply serrated beaks that are handy for holding fish. The only merganser I’ve seen in Wise County is the Hooded Merganser, although Common and Red-breasted Mergansers have also been recorded. The male Hooded Merganser is quite dapper with black and white patterning, a large round crest, and rich reddish flanks. However, Wood Ducks live here year-round and breed in wooded areas. Some people put up large nestboxes for this cavity-nesting species. The Blue-winged Teal is also a potential breeding species here, but mostly only migrates through our area. Many go to the prairie potholes of the Great Plains. These glacially-created wetlands vary from seasonal puddles to larger, more permanent bodies of water, but all are filled with abundant plant and animal life: perfect for raising broods of ducklings. Over the next few months many will head north to raise their young. Hopefully some will come back to visit again. As they journey through our area, keep your eyes out for ducks, coots, and whatever else is swimming among them. You never know what wonders you will find! By Claire Curry Spring is springing.
