CREASE Crease
REED VALVE
A reed valve is used in the intake system. The reed valve has thin, flexible steel pieces and are
fitted into the top of the crankcase. As the pistn moves up and down, the pressure in the
crankcase alternately changes to negative and positive, thus causing the reed valve to open and
cise. The reed valve tinning and opening vary depending on the engine speed and throttie
opening. In other words, it can be said that the intake timing is ideally matched to the operating
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Engine oil is supplied by means of an oil pump which is driven by the crankshaft through the
oil pump driven shaft and oil pump drive gear mounted on the crankshaft. The supply of the
oil is controiled by the oil pump cable (interlocked with the throttie cable), and thus an optimum
amount of oil is discharged from the pump according to the engine speed.
PISTON AND PISTON RING

Both Ist and 2nd pistn rings are of keystone type, and an expander ring is with the 2nd ring.
The keystone ring is less sticking and has exceilent durability. The expander ring absorbs the
noise generated by the pistn siiding against the cylinder wail by means of its spring tensin,
thus reducing overall noise.
2nd ring
Parkerized for better ''wear-in" Ist ring
Chrome- plated for better durability
Sectional form of pistn ring

Both 1st and 2nd rings are sloped at
the top side.
CLUTCH
Automatic centrifugal shoe type ciutches are secured to the crankshaft and counter shaft. These
clutches have simple construction. When the clutch drive shoes, which are thrown apart by cen-
trifugal forc varying with the crankshaft speed, come in contact with the clutch driven wheel,
engine power is transmitted to the counter shaft. When the engine speed falls, the centrifugal forc
decreases and the drive shoes comes cise together, thus separating from the driven wheel. This
eliminates the flow of engine power.

The FZ50 is equipped with a fully automatic, 2-speed, transmission. Two, separate, centrifugal
clutches are usad to select Ist and then 2nd gear. At lower engine RPM's, the low speed clutch
(Clutch No. 1) labeled engages. The power from the crankshaft is directed through the low
speed clutch into the Ist drive gear (D and then to the Ist driven gear (D. As the driven gear is
torced to rotate, smail engagement dogs "lock" the gear to an inner shaft (Counter shaft) which
is then torced to aiso rotate. Spiined to the inner counter shatt @ is the chain drive sprocket (D.

exceiient the kick starter lifter moves downward. By the movement of the kick starter
lifter, the kick starter guide is pushed and the guide end is raised. Keeping this condition,
when the kick lever is depressed, the kick starter is turned by the kick starter drive gear. As a
result, the kick starter moves to the left side of the kick idie gear while being turned by the
kick starter gear and meshes with the kick idie gear. The kick idie gear rotates and makes
the crankshaft turn.
FINAL DRIVE
Power transmitted to the final drive shaft through the drive chain. The driven sprocket and
final drive gear are press-fitted to the final drive shaft. The speed is reduced by the final drive
gear and the final driven gear mounted on the drive axIe shaft.
The drive axle shaft is integrated with the final driven gear, and it rotates at a speed reduced
finally by the final drive gear. The shaft is installed in the rear part of the crankcase. Almost
half of the drive axle shaft projects outside and is spiined to the rear wheel, thus causing it
to turn.
"PEI" SYSTEM
In the FZ50 gnition system, the PEI system is used.
The PEI system uses a magneto as the power source, and the capacitor (condenser) momentarily
stores a charge up to hundreds of volts.
The charge is nstantly discharged, at the specified gnition timing, to the ignition coi! primary
winding, thus inducing a high surge of voltage n the secondary winding. As a result, a spark
occurs at the spark plug gap.
The PEI magneto has no bneaker points and therefore it is free from mechanical trouble. This
ensures a stabler secondary high voltage and better spark performance.
Features of "PEI" System

Spark plug deposits are minimized as high voltage spark is produced.
2. Disuse of contact points means no dust trouble. Contact points become worn by dust and
such as a spark occurs between them. Kick starter lifter lever
Original engine performance is kept as ignition timing is always correct.
4. Running cost is reduced as "PEI" system has no mechanical parts and therefore requires
no adjustment or repiacement.

STEERING
To make maintenance work more efficient, steering is now installed with a single bolt. As the
bolt is tightened, V shape of the end piece expands till it contacts the inside of the head pipe
and is fixed there.

On the contrary, when the shock absorber extends, the arm contacts the damper rubber and
thus shocks are dampened.
Descriptlon
1. As the magneto turns, the voltage generated by the condenser charging coil is charged
to tine condenser through the foliowing circuit;
Conderser charging coil ^ Diode Di ^ Condenser C ^ Ignition coil primary winding
^ Diode Ds ^ Conderser charging coil.
2. When the rotor turns 180, the polarity of the red/black terminal becomes positive (+)
and the generated voltage, which is divided by Ri, is applied through R2 to the SCR gate.
When this voltage arrives at the SCR gate, it makes SCR conduct (turned on).
3. When SCR conducts, the electrical charge stored in the condenser is rapidly discharged
through the foliowing circuit:
Conderser C ^ SCR Ignition coil primary winding Conderser C.
4. In this way, a high surge of voltage quickiy builds up in the secondary winding, thus
causing a good spark to jump across the spark plug gap.
NOTE:
In case of PEI, two sparks occur each crankshaft rotation.

CAUTION:
* Before and during the cleaning oper-

* Be sure to position the element
snugly and correctly, so that no in-

rapid wear of pistn rings and cylin-

FOREWORD
The FZ50 "T" mode! was ntroduced as a new mode! n 1980. Many nnovative refinements were
incorporated n the new rnode!. The 1981 FZ50 "X" mode! utilizes the same technicai innova-
tions that were ntroduced on the "T" mode!. Ths supplementary sen/ice manual has been
produced to aid Suzuki mechan es n propery mantanng and reparng both the 1980 "T" and
1981 "X" models.
Ths manual has been wn'tten pnmarUy for the experenced Suzuki mechanic but wlll aiso be very
useful even for the amateur, do-it-yourself mechanic. The entire manual should be thoroughiy
reviewed before any servicing Is performed.
Please aiso refer to the FZ50 "N" MODEL (1979 MODEL) Service Manual for all other areas of
Information not covered In this publlcatlon.

"PEI" SYSTEM FZ50"T" AND FZ50"X" 5-7

In the FZ50 ignition system, the PEI system is used.
FLYWHEEL MAGNETO
The PEI system uses a magneto as the power source, and the capacitor (condenser) momentarily
stores a charge up to hundreds of volts.
SPECIFICATIONS
The charge is instantly discharged, at the specified ignition timing, to the ignition coi! primary

Test conditions
The pocket tester's selector knob should be set at "X 12" or "X 1 k^" range referring to the
chart.
The two testing probes, (+) and (), are to be placed on terminis of the PEI unit referring to
the chart.
The (+) prob or pointer is to be placed on one of the terminis listed in the top horizontal row,
and the () prob or pointer on the corresponding terminal listed in the vertical column.
NOTE:
Whether or not the PEI unit is in good condition can be determinad easily by temporarily
replacing it with a new one.
