GENERAL INFORMATION SERVICE PRECAUTIONS Make sure to install new gaskets, O-rings, circlips, cotter pins, etc. when reassembling. XCITING 500/250 Apply or add designated greases and lubricants to the specified lubrication points. After reassembly, check all parts for proper tightening and operation. When tightening bolts or nuts, begin with larger-diameter to smaller ones at several times, and tighten to the specified torque diagonally. When two persons work together, pay attention to the mutual working safety. Use genuine parts and lubricants. Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal before operation. When using a spanner or other tools, make sure not to damage the motorcycle surface. When servicing the motorcycle, be sure to use special tools for removal and installation. After disassembly, clean removed parts. Lubricate sliding surfaces with engine oil before reassembly. After operation, check all connecting points, fasteners, and lines for proper connection and installation. When connecting the battery, the positive (+) terminal must be connected first. After connection, apply grease to the battery terminals. Terminal caps shall be installed securely. 1-4 1. GENERAL INFORMATION If the fuse is burned out, find the cause and repair it. Replace it with a new one according to the specified capacity. Confirm Capacity XCITING 500/250 The connector shall be inserted completely. If the double connector has a lock, lock it at the correct position. Check if there is any loose wire. After operation, terminal caps shall be installed securely. Before connecting a terminal, check for damaged terminal cover or loose negative terminal. When taking out the connector, the lock on the connector shall be released before operation. Check the double connector cover for proper coverage and installation. Hold the connector body when connecting or disconnecting it. Do not pull the connector wire. Insert the terminal completely. Check the terminal cover for proper coverage. Do not make the terminal cover opening face up. Check if any connector terminal is bending, protruding or loose. Secure wire harnesses to the frame with their respective wire bands at the designated locations. Tighten the bands so that only the insulated surfaces contact the wire harnesses. 1-5 1. GENERAL INFORMATION After clamping, check each wire to make sure it is secure. XCITING 500/250 Route harnesses so they are neither pulled tight nor have excessive slack. Do not pull too tight! Do not squeeze wires against the weld or its clamp. Protect wires and harnesses with electrical tape or tube if they contact a sharp edge or corner. After clamping, check each harness to make sure that it is not interfering with any moving or sliding parts. When rubber protecting cover is used to protect the wire harnesses, it shall be installed securely. When fixing the wire harnesses, do not make it contact the parts which will generate high heat. No Contact Route wire harnesses to avoid sharp edges or corners. Avoid the projected ends of bolts and screws. Route wire harnesses passing through the side of bolts and screws. Avoid the projected ends of bolts and screws. Do not break the sheath of wire. If a wire or harness is with a broken sheath, repair by wrapping it with protective tape or replace it. When installing other parts, do not press or squeeze the wires. Do not press or squeeze the i 1-6 1. GENERAL INFORMATION After routing, check that the wire harnesses are not twisted or kinked. Wire harnesses routed along with handlebar should not be pulled tight, have excessive slack or interfere with adjacent or surrounding parts in all steering positions. XCITING 500/250 Symbols: The following symbols represent the servicing methods and cautions included in this service manual. Engine Oil : Apply engine oil to the specified points. (Use designated engine oil for lubrication.) : Apply grease for lubrication. Grease : Transmission Gear Oil (90#) Gear Oil When a testing device is used, make sure to understand the operating methods thoroughly and operate according to the operating instructions. Do you understand the instrument? Be careful not to drop any parts. When rust is found on a terminal, remove the rust with sand paper or equivalent before connecting. Remove Rust! 1-7 * : Note 1.
