Tips
To avoid problems and obtain the best possible results, CAGIVA recommends observ-
ing the following general rules:
- Before carrying out any repairs, evaluate the customer’s report of the vehicle’s mal-
function and ask any questions that may help clarify the nature of the problem.
- Clearly identify the causes of the malfunction. This manual provides the fundamen-
tals of troubleshooting, which the operator will complete with his personal experience
and the participation in the periodic training courses organized by CAGIVA.
- Make a rational plan of the repair so as to avoid wasting time in collecting spares,
preparing tools, etc.
- Only perform the operations that are required to reach the part to be repaired. Helpful
guidelines are provided in the disassembling and removing procedures described in
this manual.
General repairing rules
1 Always replace gaskets, sealing rings and cotter pins with new ones.
2 When loosening or tightening nuts or screws, always begin with the largest, or with
the one at the centre. Tighten with the prescribed torques using a crosswise pattern.
3 Always mark the parts and positions that might be exchanged when reassembling.
4 Use genuine CAGIVA spares, and lubricants of the recommended brands.
5 Use special tools as specified.
6 Consult the Technical Circulars, as they may contain updated information on adjust-
ing and service procedures.
