EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS


The U.S. [n vironmenUd P,utllction Agency and ClIhtornia Air Resources Board (CARB) require manufacturers to certify that
their motorcycles comply with applicable exhaust emissions standards during their useful life, when operated and maintained
according tn the 'I'lstru'"tions ~rovided , ond thet motorcycles built after January " 1983 comply with applicable noise emis-
sion standards for one year or 6,000 km (3,730 miles) after the time of sale to the ultimate purchassr, when operated and
maintained according to the instructions provided . Compliltnce with the terms of the Distributor's Warran ties for Honda
Motorcycle Emission Control Systems is necessary in order to keep the emissions system warranty in effect .

SOURCE OF EMISSIONS

ThC combustion proce66 produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons . Control of hydrocarbons is very important because ,
under certain conditions. they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon mono)(ide does not
rea ct in the ,,!'me way, but it is toxio.

Honda Motor Co .• Ltd. utilized lean carburetor settings as WAil 1'$ other systemli , to reduce oarbon mono)(ide end hydro-
carbons.

CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The crenkca se emi6sioll culltrol system routes crankcase emissions through the air cleaner end into the combustion chamber.
Condensed crankcali8 vapors are accumulated in nn airfoil separatol and urain tube whIch must be emptied periodically. Refer
t o the MAintenance Schedule (page 3-41. Thc drain tube needs to be checluHJ rur oil accumulation more frequently if the ma-
chine has been ridden mostly at high speeds or in rain.

GENERAL INFORMATION

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SECONOARY AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM)


(EJU':lIpl Cillifulllia modul)
The exhaust emission control system is composed of lean carburetor settings and no adjustment should be made except idle
8peed adjl.llitment with the throttle stop screw.

(California model)
The exhaust emission control system consists of a secondary air supply system which introduces filtered air into the exhaust
gases in the exhaust port. Fresh air is drawn into the exhaust port whenever there is a negative pressure pulse in the exhaust
system. This charge of fresh air promotes burning of the unburned exhaust gases and changes a considerable amount of •
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into relatively harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor.
This model hilS th~ llir sut:tiun valva; it consists of read valves built into the air injection control valve.
A reed valve prevents reverse air flow through the system. The air injection control valve reacts to high intake manifold
vacuum and will cut off the liupply of fralih air during engine deceleration, thereby preventing afterburn in the exhaust sys-
tem .

No adjustments to the secondary air supply system should be made , although periodic inspection of the components is rec-
ommended. •

correct reassembly.
It is easy to remove the valve bucket with 8 valve
lePDing tool or magnet .
Remove the shims with tweezers or a magnet .

~ Clean the valve buckets with compressed air.

III SHIM
Measure the shim thickness with a mir.rnmeter and record it.

NOTE
Si)(ty-five different shims Bre available in thickness in-
tervals of 0.026 mm .
The thinnest is 1.200 mm the thickest is 2.800 mm.

To confirm your shim choice, you may use the fo llowing


formula:

SERVICE INFORMATION


• Camshaft service can be done with the engine in the frame.
• Camshaft lubricating oil is fed through oil passages in the cylinder head. Clean the oil passages before assembling the cyl-
inder head . Fill the cylinder head oil pockets with the clean engine oil of the proper type and viscosity.
• Clean all disassembled parts with cleaning solvent and dry them by blowing them off with compressed air before inspec-
tion.
• Hetor!!! reassembly, lubricate the camshaft journals and cam lobes with a molybdenum oil solution.
• Wk8n dhuissemblino, mark and store the disassembled parts to ensure th.t they are reinstalled in their proper locations.

• • Be cereful not to damage the mating surfaces by using a screwdriver when removing the cylinder. Do not strike the cylin·
der too hard during disassembly, even with a rubber or plastic mallet, to prevent the possibility of damage to the cylinder
fins .
• Take care not to damage the cylinder walls and pistons .
• Store the valve and piston components in the same order they were installed so they can be reinstalled in the original posi-
t ions .

TROUBLESHOOTING
Engine top-end problems usually affect engine performance. These can be diagnosed by a compression or leak down test, or
by tracinQ noises in the top-end with a sounding rod or stethoscope.
If performance Is poor at low speeds, check for white smoke in the crankcase breather tube. If the tube is smokey, check for
seized piston rings .

NOTE
• For cylinder compression and leak-down test procedures, refer to section 3 of the Common Service Manual.

SERVICE INFORMATION

• The battery gives ott explosive ga ••• : keep spark,. flam •• , and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when
charging or using the battery In 8n enclosed space.
The battery contains sulfuric acid lelectrolyteJ. Contact with ,kin or ey•• may cau. . . .vere burns. We., protective
clothing and 8 fac8 shield.
- If ele<:trolyte oets on yo,,, skin, flush with watllr.
- If electrolyte gets In your eyes, flush with wat8r for at Jelilit 15 minutes and call a physician immediately.

• Electrolyte is poisonous. If swallowed. drink large quantltJes of water Of milk and follow with milk of magna.la or no.-
tabkt oil and call 8 physician.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

• Always turn off the ignition switch before disconnecting any electrical component .

CAUTION


Some electrical components may be damaged If terminals or connectors are connected or diaconnected while the Igni-
tion switch is ON and currant is present.

• For extended storage. remove the battery. give it a full charge, and store it in a cool, dry place.
• For battery remaining in a stored motorcycle, disconnect t he negative battery cable from the battery terminal.

NOTE
• The maintenance free battery must be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life.

CI\UTION
The battery caps should not be removed. Attempting to remove the sealing caps from the cells may damage the bat-


tIrry,


• aattary can be damaged .t overcharged or undercharged , or if left to discharge for long periods. These same conditions
contribute to shortening the " life span" of the battery. Even under normal use, the performance of battery deteriorates
after 2-3 years .
• Battery voltage may recover after battery charging, but under heavy load, battery voltage will drop quickly and eventually
diE' ovt For thi,!!, r"A'l''''' . thll r.hAroino iIIyilltAm iill nftAn illlIl'lpAr:tftn to be the problem. Battery overcharge often re sults from
problems in the battery it self, which may appear to be an overcharge symptom . If one of the battery cells is shorted and


battery voltage does not increase. the regulator/rectifier supplies excess voltage to the battery. Under these conditions,
tho electrolyte level goes down Quickly ,
• Before troubleshooting the charging system, check for proper use and maintenance of the battery. Check if the battery is
frequently under heevy loed , such as havmg the hetldllght and taillight ON for long periods of time without riding the motor-
cy cle .
• The battery will self-discharge when the motorcycle is not in use . For this reason, charge the battery every two w eeks to
prevent sulfation from form ing .
• Filling a new battery w ith elec trolyte will produce some voltage, but in order ttl ac:hieve its maximum performance, al w ays
c harge the battery. Al so , the battery life is lengthened when it is initial-charged .
• When checking the charging system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting flow chart (page 14-3).
• Fo r battery testing/ charging, refer to section 22 of the Common Service Manual.
• For churging systum lu\,;atiQn , see page 14-2.

• When checking the ignition system, always. follow the steps in the troubleshooting flow chart (page 15-3).
• The transistorized ignition system use an electrically controlled ignition timing system. No adjustments can be made to the
ignition timing .
• A rough diagnosis can be made by identifying the cylinder whose spark timing is incorrect.
• The spark unit may be damaged if dropped . Also, if the connector is disconnected when current is flowing, the excessive

• voltage may damage the unit. Always turn off the ignition switch before servicing .
• A faulty ignition system is often related to poorly connected connectors. Check those connections before proceeding.
• Make sure the battery is adequately charged. Using the starter motor with a weak battery results in a slower engine crank-
ing speed !IS well !IS no spark at the spark plugs.
• Use spark plugs of the correct heat range. Using spark plugs with an incorrect heat range can damage the engine .
Refer to section 2 of the Common Service Manual.
• For neutral switch inspection, refer to section 25 of the Common Service Manual; for switch location, see page 15-2 of
this manual (SYSTEM LOCATION).
• For the ignition switch and engine stop switch inspection , check for continuity on the continuity chart of the WIRING DIA·
GRAM, page 18- 1. Disconnect each switch connector inside the headlight case (page 1-19) and check it.
• For side stand inhibitor system instructions, see page 15-5 "NOTE" of the troubleshooting.
