If you ever need to weld anything on the bike, disconnect the spark plug
cap, unplug the ignition, disconnect the kill switch, scrape the paint bare
near the area to be welded and put the ground clamp as close to the area
to be welded as possible.
Be sure the fuel tank and carburetor have been removed and safely located
away from the welding process.

The frame is 4130 Chrome Moly and it is important to weld it with the proper
rod and heat settings set as light as possible. Cobra recommends replacing
the frame with a new one if the old one becomes damaged. Use ER70S6
filler if welding on the frame.
10. If your kick-starter lever does not return properly, first try loosening the six
kick/clutch cover screws ½ turn. Hold the kick lever ½ way down while
retightening the six screws starting for the center and working out
11. Inspect CFD slip torque after the 2
nd
ride and then again after the 6
th
ride.
After this follow the recommended schedule below.
12. Check proper clutch engagement before and after each ride. If the clutch is
engaging properly DO NOT feel the need to take the clutch apart to;
measure the spring stack, clean the stack, replace the springs, etc... Cobra
has worked very hard to make a clutch that is low maintenance and so only
take it apart if it NEEDS to be maintained.

Replace the transmission oil.
o
Check the CFD torque
•
Every 10 hours of operation
