Diagnostic Charts:
Troubleshooting charts and flow diagrams for identifying and resolving common issues.
Engine Rebuild:
Step-by-step instructions for complete engine disassembly and reassembly, including bearing replacement, seal replacement, and component checks.
Suspension Rebuild:
Detailed procedures for servicing front forks and rear shock absorbers, including oil level and type specifications.
Depth:
Factory diagnostic and repair procedures, suitable for professional technicians and mechanics. Covers everything from basic maintenance to complete engine rebuilds.
Diagnostic Tools:
Information on any required specialized tools for diagnosis and repair.
Parts Identification:
Identification of various components and their part numbers (though a separate parts catalog would be more detailed).
Type:
Four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled (typically SOHC or DOHC, depending on specific model variant).
Displacement 400:
Approximately 400cc (exact figure requires model-specific VIN lookup or manual verification).
Displacement 450:
Approximately 450cc (e.g., could be around 449-450cc).
Displacement 510:
Approximately 510cc (e.g., could be around 501-510cc).
Horsepower Range:
Estimated 45-55+ HP, depending on displacement and tuning.
Torque Range:
Estimated 35-45+ lb-ft, depending on displacement and tuning.
Carburetion Or Fi:
Likely equipped with a carburetor (e.g., Mikuni TM40/42 or Keihin FCR series) for 2007 models, though some later models or variants might have seen fuel injection introduction. Manual will specify.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, Octane rating typically 91 or higher.
Type:
Wet sump (typical for Supermoto derivatives, though some racing engines might use dry sump systems - manual will confirm).
Type:
Liquid-cooled, with radiator and fan.
Oil Change:
Every 3,000-5,000 km or annually (specific interval depends on riding conditions, manual will provide exact recommendation).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Every 1,000-2,000 km, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Valve Clearance Check:
Typically every 5,000-10,000 km (critical for single-cylinder performance).
Chain Lubrication:
Every 500-800 km and after washing/wet riding.
Engine Oil:
Viscosity: SAE 10W-40 or 15W-50. Specification: API SG, SH, SJ or JASO MA. Capacity: Approx. 1.0-1.5 Liters (manual will confirm exact capacity and type).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors. Ratio: 50/50 distilled water and coolant. Capacity: Approx. 0.7-1.0 Liters.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 (or DOT 3 depending on specific caliper/master cylinder design, manual will confirm).
Fork Oil:
Specific viscosity and type (e.g., SAE 5W or 7.5W) and level specified in manual.
Common Problems:
Potential issues can include stator failures (common on some European single-cylinders of this era), regulator/rectifier problems, carburation tuning sensitivity, and wear on suspension components due to aggressive riding. Overheating can also be an issue if cooling system is not maintained. Refer to the manual for specific diagnostics.
