20000km service (DIY guide)
 
Though my ten is 21 months old, with 20000km on the clock, and still in warranty, I made the decision to do the 20k service on my own and void the warranty.

(plus 2 torque wrenches)

1. Firstly, I removed the seat and drained the fuel tank.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00450a.jpg


2. Then I removed the fuel tank covers. (The bottom left bolt proved pretty stubborn, and it came out together with its threaded housing/sleeve :smilies0979: ).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00451.jpg



3. So I used some glue…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00451b.jpg


4. … and stuck it back inside the plastic bracket..
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00451c.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00451d.jpg


5. I removed the tank bracket, washers and collars…

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00454a.jpg


6. …the front bolts (one on each side)…

8. �the screws and headlight panels (be careful not to lose the sleeves)�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00461.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00462.jpg


9. I disconnected the turn signal wiring connectors...

10. �(Take care not to lose the rubber washers)�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00466.jpg


11. �and the overflow pipe.

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00470.jpg


zeiss11 29-08-11 18:43

12. I lifted and supported the tank.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00470a.jpg


13. I disconnected the fuel sender coupler�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00471.jpg


14. �the white fuel pump coupler (this one is tough. Press firmly with your thumb while pulling it with your other hand).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00472.jpg


15. �the fuel hose clamp�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00473.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00474.jpg


16. �the fuel hose (press the green clips and pull the hose at the same time)�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00475a.jpg


17. �(have a rag handy to collect any remaining fuel).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00477.jpg


18. Tank removed.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00478.jpg


19. Then I removed the radiator covers.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00481a.jpg


20. Push the centre pin in to remove the trim clip.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00482.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00483.jpg


21. To reinstall it, just push the pin conversely so it peeps from the upper side of the clip. Then fit the clip and push the centre pin in.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00484.jpg

zeiss11 29-08-11 19:00

22. I partly removed the radiator so as to have access to the exhaust tappet cover.
23. I undid the screws…

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00484a.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00485.jpg


http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00485a.jpg

24. …removed the grille…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00487.jpg


25. …disconnected the fan motor coupler…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00488.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00489.jpg


26. This step is optional. I detached the fan from the radiator to clean the crud off of it.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00490.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00491.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00495.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00498.jpg


27. During the whole process I was storing all screws, bolts, etc, in this little box.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00501.jpg


28. Draining the coolant was the only way to get the radiator out of the way.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00504a.jpg


29. After draining the circuit, I was able to remove these 2 hoses.

30. Spark plug is out.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00508.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00511.jpg


31. I removed the 2 accessing screws…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00516.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00516a.jpg


32. … (The o-rings were in good condition)...
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00517.jpg


33. …and the camshaft sprocket cover.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00519.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00520.jpg


34. I turned the crankshaft counterclockwise by using a 22mm hex socket (the image is from the OEM manual, because I forgot to take a photo). I continued turning the crankshaft until the “I” mark (a) aligned with the stationary pointer on the magneto cover (b).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00521.jpg


35.
On the camshaft sprocket there's another “I” mark which moved at the bottom (overlap TDC of the exhaust stroke - I don't want this one)...
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00523.jpg


36.
...So I made another circle counterclockwise. (Do not confuse the “I” mark on the crankshaft with the “H” mark that comes just before it).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00524.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00525.jpg


37. The piston is now at TDC (of the compression stroke), and the 4 valves are
closed and ready for adjustment.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00526.jpg


38. I removed the intake and exhaust tappet covers..
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00527.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00528.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00528a.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00529.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00530.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00531.jpg


39. …and inserted the feeler between the adjusting screw and the valve.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00533.jpg

zeiss11 29-08-11 19:19

40. (The intake valves were 0,08 mm, while the exhaust valves were 0.13 mm. Way out of specification. My previous mechanic said he had adjusted the valves at the 10k service, but I think he was lying. Probably he had adjusted only the intake ones).

41. I slackened the locknut and turned the adjusting screw using a tiny wrench -because no screwdriver could fit in the exhaust valves area- until the gap was 0.11 mm for the intake and 0.18 mm for the exhaust valves. I held the screw to prevent it from moving and tightened the locknut using a torque wrench for the intake valves and my intuition (!) for the exhaust ones. I hope they don’t become loose after 50 kms.

42. For the peace of mind and although the old o-rings were in good condition, I fitted new ones. (The new is on the left side).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00534.jpg


43. :tenere: :eek:
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00535.jpg


44. I measured the gaps once again and reinstalled the covers…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00537.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00538.jpg


45. …the spark plug (the new plug came with pre-adjusted electrode gap at 0.75mm) …
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00539.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00540.jpg


46. …the coolant draining bolt, the 2 hoses…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00545.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00545a.jpg


47. …the fan, the radiator, the coolant and finally the fuel tank.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00546.jpg


48. Next was the air filter’s turn. I removed the case cover…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00557.jpg


49. …the old air filter…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00558.jpg


50. …(the air filter housing was sufficiently clean)…
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00560.jpg

zeiss11 29-08-11 19:27

51. �and then I fitted a new one.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00561.jpg


52. By the way, I cleaned the air filter check hose also.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00562.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00562a.jpg


53. After that, I changed the engine oil. I warmed the engine for 5 min, removed the oil filler cap�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00563.jpg

54. �the oil tank drain bolt�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00565a.jpg


55. �and the oil crankcase drain bolt.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00566.jpg


56. The oil is draining.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00567.jpg


57. I removed the oil filter cover bolts�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00568.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00569.jpg


58. �checked the o-rings (they looked normal)�
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00570.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00571.jpg

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00572.jpg


59. �cleaned the filter housing, and replaced the filter (Don�t forget the filter drain bolt�s little o-ring).
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC00572a.jpg


60. This is an optional step. Before installing the new filter, pour some fresh oil inside it and rotate the filter a few times so that the oil spreads around the inner surface. I believe that this trick speeds up the oil circulation the first time you start the motor after the oil change procedure.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00573.jpg

zeiss11 29-08-11 19:33

61. I tightened the filter cover, oil tank and crankcase bolts to the specified torque.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00575.jpg


62. I filled the oil tank with 1.9 lt of 10W40 oil. I started the engine, raced it 5 times, turned it off and then added the remainder 0.7 lt.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC00576.jpg



63. Finally I refitted the plastic covers, started the engine and checked for leaks.


64. Ready to hit the road…

Total cost: 58 euros.


I hope you find this guide helpful and I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Cheers.

Very good DIY show. I want to do the same but I have to do it for my next 40.000 km. I find the fuel tank unmount a little bit complicated, but I hope to do fine...

Great pics and description
 
Thanks for the report and pics, you have inspired me to do my 20k service myself too.:blob5:
