Use the micrometer to measure at several points around the ring.
Piston Ring Thickness Standard:
Top [A] 0.77
0.79 mm (0.0303
0.0311 in.)
Second [B] 0.78
0.79 mm
(0.0307
0.0311 in.)
Service Limit:
Top 0.70 mm (0.0276 in.)
Second 0.71 mm (0.0280 in.)

If any of the measurements is less than the service limit on either of the rings, replace all the rings.
NOTE
When using new rings in a used piston, check for uneven groove wear. The rings should fit perfectly parallel to the groove sides. If not, replace the piston.

Torque Limiter Cover (see Torque limiter Removal)
Turn the torque limiter [A] by hand. The torque limiter
should turn forward freely [B], but should not turn backward.
If the starter clutch does not operate as it should or if it

Catalytic Converter
This motorcycle is equipped with a
catalytic converter in the exhaust system.
The converter reacts with carbonmonoxide,
hydrocarbons and nitrogen
oxides to convert them into carbon
dioxide, water, nitrogen and oxygen resulting
in much cleaner exhaust gases
