FEATURESOUTLINE OF FI SYSTEMThe main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the optimumair-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric temperature.In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the combustionchamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the fuel that is metered by the jet used in therespective carburetor.Despite the same volume of intake air, the fuel volume requirement varies by the engine operatingconditions, such as acceleration, deceleration, or operating under a heavy load. Carburetors that me-ter the fuel through the use of jets have been provided with various auxiliary devices, so that an opti-mum air-fuel ratio can be achieved to accommodate the constant changes in the operating conditionsof the engine.As the requirements for the engine to deliver more performance and cleaner exhaust gases increase, itbecomes necessary to control the air-fuel ratio in a more precise and finely tuned manner. To accom-modate this need, this model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system, inplace of the conventional carburetor system. This system can achieve an optimum air-fuel ratio re-quired by the engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel injection volumeaccording to the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.The adoption of the FI system has resulted in a highly precise fuel supply, improved engine response,better fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions. Furthermore, the air induction system (AI sys-tem) has been placed under computer control together with the FI system in order to realize cleanerexhaust gases.

EAS00897

FI SYSTEMThe fuel pump delivers fuel to the injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the fuelpressure that is applied to the injector at only 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm2). Accordingly, when the energizingsignal from the ECU energizes the injector, the fuel passage opens, causing the fuel to be injected intothe intake manifold only during the time the passage remains open. Therefore, the longer the length oftime the injector is energized (injection duration), the greater the volume of fuel that is supplied. Con-versely, the shorter the length of time the injector is energized (injection duration), the lesser the vol-ume of fuel that is supplied.

The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals that are input from thethrottle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, intake air pressure sensor, intake temperaturesensor and coolant temperature sensor enable the ECU to determine the injection duration. The injec-tion timing is determined through the signals from the crankshaft position sensor. As a result, the vol-ume of fuel that is required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance with the drivingconditions.

NOTE:

INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONMulti-function displayThe multi-function display is equipped with thefollowing:a speedometer (which shows the ridingspeed)

an odometer (which shows the total distancetraveled)

two tripmeters (which show the distancetraveled since they were last set to zero)

a fuel reserve tripmeter (which shows thedistance traveled since the bottom segmentof the fuel meter started flashing)

a tachometer (which shows the enginespeed)

a fuel metera water temperaturea clocka intake air temperaturea self-diagnosis device

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before using the “SELECT” and ”RESET” buttons.For the U.K. only: To switch the speedometer and odometer/tripmeter display between kilometersand miles, press the “SELECT” button for at least two seconds.

Odometer, tripmeter and tachometer modesPushing the “SELECT” button switches the display between the odometer mode “ODO” and the trip-meter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” and the tachometer mode “E” is the following order:ODO TRIP 1 TRIP 2 (TRIP F) E ODOWhen approximately 3.6 L of fuel remain in the fuel tank, the bottom segment of the fuel meter will startflashing, and the odometer display will automatically change to the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIPF” and start counting the distance traveled from that point. In that case, pushing the “SELECT” buttonswitches the display between the various tripmeter and odometer modes in the following order: TRIP-F E ODO TRIP 1 TRIP 2 TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SELECT” button, and then push the “RESET” button for atleast one second. If you do not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset itself automaticallyand the display will return to the prior mode after refueling and traveling 5 km (3.1 mi).Tachometer modeDisplays the digital indication of the engine speed on the odometer section.Air intake temperature indicator.When “ODO” is displayed, pressing the “RESET” for a long time allows the indicator to switch displaysbetween Clock and Air intake temperature. (It activates the clock indication when the main switch isturned OFF.)In the Co adjustment mode, the indication automatically changes from clock (Air intake temperature) tothe engine speed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMCHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gasand contain electrolyte which is made of poi-sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.Therefore, always follow these preventivemeasures:Wear protective eye gear when handling orworking near batteries.

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.Keep batteries away from fire, sparks oropen flames (e.g., welding equipment,lighted cigarettes).

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTEOUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as itcan cause severe burns or permanent eyeinjury.

FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:EXTERNALSkin – Wash with water.Eyes – Flush with water for 15 minutes andget immediate medical attention.

INTERNALDrink large quantities of water or milk fol-lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg orvegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-tion.

This is a sealed battery. Never remove thesealing caps because the balance betweencells will not be maintained and battery per-formance will deteriorate.

Charging time, charging amperage andcharging voltage for an MF battery are dif-ferent from those of conventional batter-ies. The MF battery should be charged asexplained in the charging method illustra-tions. If the battery is overcharged, theelectrolyte level will drop considerably.Therefore, take special care when chargingthe battery.

WARNING

CAUTION:

5. Charge:battery(refer to the appropriate charging method il-lustration)

Do not quick charge a battery.

Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.Do not use a high-rate battery chargersince it forces a high-amperage currentinto the battery quickly and can cause bat-tery overheating and battery plate damage.If it is impossible to regulate the chargingcurrent on the battery charger, be carefulnot to overcharge the battery.

When charging a battery, be sure to removeit from the motorcycle. (If charging has tobe done with the battery mounted on themotorcycle, disconnect the negative bat-tery lead from the battery terminal.)

To reduce the chance of sparks, do notplug in the battery charger until the batterycharger leads are connected to the battery.

Before removing the battery charger leadclips from the battery terminals, be sure toturn off the battery charger.

Make sure the battery charger lead clipsare in full contact with the battery terminaland that they are not shorted. A corrodedbattery charger lead clip may generate heatin the contact area and a weak clip springmay cause sparks.

If the battery becomes hot to the touch atany time during the charging process, dis-connect the battery charger and let the bat-tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot batter-ies can explode!

As shown in the following illustration, theopen-circuit voltage of an MF battery stabi-lizes about 30 minutes after charging hasbeen completed. Therefore, wait 30 min-utes after charging is completed beforemeasuring the open-circuit voltage.

a. Wipe the drive chain with a clean cloth.b. Put the drive chain in kerosene and remove

any remaining dirt.c. Remove the drive chain from the kerosene

and completely dry it.

This motorcycle has a drive chain with smallrubber O-rings 1 between the drive chainside plates. Never use high-pressure wateror air, steam, gasoline, certain solvents(e.g., benzine), or a coarse brush to clean thedrive chain. High-pressure methods couldforce dirt or water into the drive chain’s in-ternals, and solvents will deteriorate the O-rings. A coarse brush can also damage theO-rings. Therefore, use only kerosine toclean the drive chain.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FI

EAS00899

ECU’S SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONThe ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic function in order to ensure that the engine control system isoperating normally. If this function detects a malfunction in the system, it immediately operates the en-gine under substitute characteristics and illuminates the engine trouble warning light to alert the riderthat a malfunction has occurred in the system. Once a malfunction has been detected, a fault code isstored in the memory of the ECU.To inform the rider that the fuel injection system is not functioning, the engine trouble warning lightflashes when the start switch is being pushed to start the engine.

If a malfunction is detected in the system by the self-diagnostic function, this mode provides an ap-propriate substitute characteristic operation, and alerts the rider of the detected malfunction by illumi-nating an engine trouble warning light.

After the engine has been stopped, the lowest fault code number appears on the LCD meter. Once afault code has been displayed, it remains stored in the memory of the ECU until it is deleted.

ALTERNATE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION CONTROL (FAIL-SAFE ACTION)If the ECU detects an abnormal signal from a sensor while the vehicle is being driven, the ECU illumi-nates the engine trouble warning light and provides the engine with alternate operating instructionsthat are appropriate for the type of malfunction.When an abnormal signal is received from a sensor, the ECU processes the specified values that areprogrammed for each sensor in order to provide the engine with alternate operating instructions thatenable the engine to continue to operate or stop operating, depending on the conditions.The ECU takes fail-safe actions in two ways: one in which the sensor output is set to a prescribed value,and the other in which the ECU directly operates an actuator. Details on the fail-safe actions are givenin the table below.FAIL-SAFE ACTIONS TABLE

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM FI

EAS00507

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMAIR INJECTIONThe air induction system burns unburned ex-haust gases by injecting fresh air (secondaryair) into the exhaust port, reducing the emissionof hydrocarbons.When there is negative pressure at the exhaustport, the reed valve opens, allowing secondaryair to flow into the exhaust port. The requiredtemperature for burning the unburned exhaustgases is approximately 600 to 700C (1112 to1292F).

EAS0097

AIR CUT-OFF VALVEThe air cut-off valve is controlled by the signalsfrom the ECU in accordance with the combus-tion conditions. Ordinarily, the air cut-off valveopens to allow the air to flow during idle andcloses to cut-off the flow when the motorcycle isbeing driven. However, if the coolant tempera-ture is below the specified value, the air cut-offvalve remains open and allows the air to flowinto the exhaust pipe until the temperature be-comes higher than the specified value.A From the air cleanerB To the cylinder head

NOTE:

EAS00730

CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITYCheck each switch for continuity with the pockettester. If the continuity reading is incorrect,check the wiring connections and if necessary,replace the switch.

Never insert the tester probes into the cou-pler terminal slots. Always insert the probesfrom the opposite end of the coupler 1 tak-ing care not to loosen or damage the leads.

Pocket tester90890-03112, YU-3112

Before checking for continuity, set the pockettester to “0” and to the “Ω 1” range.

When checking for continuity, switch back andforth between the switch positions a few times.

The terminal connections for switches (e.g.,main switch, engine stop switch) are shown inan illustration similar to the one on the left.The switch positions a are shown in the far leftcolumn and the switch lead colors b are shownin the top row in the switch illustration.

“ ” indicates a continuity of electricitybetween switch terminals (i.e., a closed circuitat the respective switch position).

The example illustration on the left showsthat:There is continuity between red and brown/redwhen the switch is set to “P”.There is continuity between red, brown/blueand brown/red when the switch is set to “ON”.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM ELEC

GENERAL INFORMATION

When the main switch is turned “ON” with the registered key, the immobilizer system indicator lightcomes on for about 0.5 second and then goes off.

To check the immobilizer system, follow the steps in the troubleshooting chart.To use the immobilizer key, keep it away from other keys. Otherwise, the key code signal may not workor the correct action may be disturbed.

The key contains the electronic component (transponder). Do not drop or hit it with a solid metal. Donot leave it on the dashboard of vehicle where the temperature may rise.

Do not put it in the water. (when washing clothes for example)Do not place it near a magnet or a loud speaker. If all keys are missing, the engine control unit (ECU) is required to replace together with the keys andthe immobilizer unit.

Immobilizer unit cannot be operated with the copy key until the transponder code of the code re-regis-tering key is registered to the immobilizer unit.

Total three key codes are registered to the immobilizer unit, which are one code re-registering keycode and two standard key codes.

Among them, two of standard key codes can be registered to prepare for the case when the key is lost.To register, the code re-registering key is needed.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM ELEC

NOTE:

KEY ID REGISTRATION METHOD

Initially one code re-registering key and two standard keys have been registered with the immobilizersystem.In the course of use, you may encounter the following case where re-registration of code re-register-ing/standard key is required.

Code re-registering key registration:

When the immobilizer unit or ECU, failed and the unit was replaced, the unit cannot be used until thekey ID is registered because it is not registered to the unit.a. As usual steps, when the main switch is turned “ON”, the immobilizer indicator light goes on for

about one second.b. If the indicator light goes off, it shows that the code re-registering key registration is finished.c. Check that the engine can be started.d. Consequently, carry out the standard key registration, according the section below.

Standard key registration:

When you lost a standard key and need a new one. Or when the code re-registering key is re-registeredafter the immobilizer unit or the ECU, are replaced.a. Check that the indicator light shows the standby mode.

To initiate the standby mode, turn “OFF” the main switch and then it will be the standby mode when itpasses 30 seconds. When 24 hours passed, the standby mode ends and the indicator light stopsflashing.

b. After the main switch is turned “ON” with the code re-registering key, within 5 seconds, turn “OFF”the main switch and then turn “ON” the main switch with the standard key (the first new key) that youwant to register.

c. It becomes the key registration mode and two standard key IDs that have been stored in the memoryare erased and the first new standard key ID will be registered. At this time, the indicator light quicklyblinks (“OFF” for 0.5 sec. and “ON” for 0.5 sec.).

d. In the condition as mentioned above (while the indicator light continues quick flashing), after themain switch is turned “ON” with the first new standard key, turn “OFF” the main switch within 5 se-conds, and then turn “ON” the main switch with the standard key that you want to register (which isthe second new key or the standard key remained in hand).

Fast flashing goes off when it elapses 5 seconds and the registration mode is finished. In this case, thesecond standard key cannot be registered and only the first standard key is registered.

e. When the registration is finished, the indicator light goes off.f. Check that the engine can be started with the registered two standard keys.

Important note:If you lost a standard key, immediately re-register your code re-registering key and the remaining stan-dard key (if any). This will delete the stored registration data, protecting the motorcycle against beingstarted with the lost key.
