CAUTION:
Cobra has spent considerable time and money developing the proper lubrication
to handle the harsh environment of the automatic clutch and transmission of this
motorcycle. Cobra’s specially developed
Cobra Venom 3 Shoe Clutch Milk (Part
#MCMUGF32) was formulated to provide superior lubrication and cooling
capability over extended periods of time and is the recommended lubricant for
your Cobra motorcycle.
Proper Chain adjustment

50mm (2”) free movement behind the

3.
Sit on the bike and verify that the chain has a
minimum of 12mm (1/2”) free movement when the
chain is at its tightest point.
4.
If the chain requires adjusting, loosen the axle
with a 19 mm wrench and tighten the chain by
rotating the adjustor bolts clockwise (CW) or
loosen the chain by rotating the adjustor bolts
(CCW).
5. Retighten the axel bolt to 25 ft-lb (34 Nm).

Rear Brake Maintenance
CAUTION:
Too little brake pedal free-play will allow the brake pads to drag causing the pads
to wear prematurely and possible engine component failures. Too much free-play
will not allow the rider to apply the brakes quickly.
1. Set pedal height/position first, then
2. Set pedal free play.
Brake pedal height can be adjusted with the bolt and nut located under the rear
of the brake pedal. The free-play is adjusted with the adjustable plunger on the
end of the brake pedal.
