After switching off, allow several minutes for the oil to settle before checking the level. Check the level with the motorcycle perfectly vertical and with the engine hot (but stopped).

The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Top up if low. Remove the filler plug (2) and top up with the recommended oil.

Tighten it to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Engine torque settings).

Screw it in its seat and tighten to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Engine torque settings).

Refit the mesh filter (7) and its seal (6) on the plug (5) and tighten to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Engine torque settings).

Remove the filler plug (2) and fill with the recommended oil (Sect. C 2, Fuels and lubricants). Fill until the oil reaches the MAX mark on the sight glass.

Check for oil leaks. Check that the oil pressure light on the instrument panel switches off several seconds after the engine has been started. If this is not the case, switch off and trace the fault.

Proceed as described under Section N 4.1, Checking and adjusting valve clearance.

With the valve in the rest position, slide a feeler gauge between closing rocker arm and shim to measure clearance. Clearance must be within the specified limits:

If the clearances measured are outside the specified limits, measure clearance and adjust as required (Sect. N 4.1, Checking and adjusting valve clearance).

Proceed as described under Section N 4.1, Checking and adjusting valve clearance.

The air filter must be changed at the intervals indicated in the "Routine maintenance table" (Sect. D 3).

Raise the fuel tank (Sect. L 2, Removing the fuel tank).

A clogged air filter will reduce air intake and engine power leading to increased fuel consumption, and cause a build up of deposits on the spark plugs. Do not run the engine without the air filter. Running the engine without a filter will draw impurities into the engine and may damage the engine.

Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces if spilled on them. In addition, it will cause severe injury if spilled on the skin or into your eyes. In the event of accidental contact with skin or eyes, wash the affected area with abundant running water.

Top up the clutch fluid up to 3 mm above the MIN mark.

Excessive handlebar play or shaking forks in the steering head indicate that the play in the steering head bearings requires adjustment. Proceed as follows:

Tighten the ring nut (5) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings) using the tool part no. 88713.1058.

Tighten all the previously loosened screws to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Reposition the handlebar, fit the two U-bolts (2) and tighten the four U-bolt screws (1) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

The lower section of the chain should move by approx. 25 - 27 mm.

Tighten (turn clockwise) the screws (2) equally on both sides of the swingarm to increase tension, or slacken to decrease it. In the latter case, you will need to push the wheel forward.

Tighten the nuts (1) onto wheel shaft to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Tighten the adjuster screws (2) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Check that the nuts (3) that retain the rear chain sprocket to the flange are tightened securely. This can be done with the wheel installed, when you hold the bolts steady from the opposite end with an articulated 8-mm wrench.

If nuts (3) are replaced, apply some threadlocker and tighten them to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces if spilled on them. In addition, it will cause severe injury if spilled on the skin or into your eyes. In the event of accidental contact with skin or eyes, wash the affected area with abundant running water.

Please inform the Customer that new pads must be run-in carefully – in other words, the front brake must be used carefully - for the first 100 Km to allow the friction material to bed in completely.

Check that the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is above the MIN mark.
If necessary, top up as follows. Turn the handlebar so that the reservoir is level.

Remove the split pin (1) from the caliper retaining pin. The split pin is on caliper inner side. Force the brake pads apart to force the caliper pistons into their housings. Withdraw the brake pad retaining pin (2) from the outside.

Insert the new pads and the clip (3). Insert the retaining pin (2) and push it fully home. Fit the split pin (1) with the end (A) pointing to the wheel.

Check that the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir (4) is between the MIN and MAX marks. If this is not the case, unscrew the reservoir plug (4) and top up with brake fluid.

In case of difficulties with pads replacement, remove the calipers (Sect. G 3, Removing the front brake system and G 6, Removing the rear brake system).

The brake calipers are critical safety components. Observe the instructions given in Section G “Wheels - Suspension - Brakes”. Be sure to tighten the brake caliper mounting bolts to the specified torque on refitting (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Adjustment of the throttle and choke cables may affect the throttle body adjustments. Refer to “Adjusting idling condition”, Sect. D 5.

The throttle twistgrip must have a free travel of 2-4 mm (measured on the twistgrip rim) in all steering positions.

To adjust the choke control cable, turn the control level on the handlebar until fully open and check that the plate (6) is touching the end stop.

In this condition, ensure that engine is at 2000 rpm. Turn screw (7) to adjust the rpm.

Check for proper conditions of the outer sheaths of the throttle and choke cables at regular intervals. The outer plastic sheath should not be damaged or cracked.

The position of the gear change and rear brake pedals in relation to the footpegs can be adjusted to suit rider preferred riding position.

Operate the pedal by hand and check that there is 1.5-2 mm of pedal free travel before the brake begins to operate.

The adjuster (1) is on the RH side at the bottom end of the rear shock absorber, near the mounting point to the swingarm. This adjuster sets rebound damping.

Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise for harder (H) damping and counterclockwise for softer (S) damping.

Standard setting:

from the fully closed position (clockwise) turn out the adjuster (1) by 18 clicks.

To change spring preload, slacken the upper ring nut (2) with a pin wrench. Tighten or slacken the lower ring nut (3) to increase or decrease preload.

Use the special wrench only to turn the ring nut for preload adjustment. When applying pressure to the wrench, ensure that wrench pin does not slip out suddenly from the slots in the ring nut. This could cause minor injuries to your hands. Do not use wrenches which are too small or have short handles.

Standard spring length: 157 mm.

When carrying a passenger and a load, set maximum spring preload for improved handling and to keep safe ground clearance. Set rebound damping accordingly.
