MAINTENANCE
RULES

Always use original Fantic Motor spare parts, and lubricants recommended by the manufacturer. Non-original
spare parts can damage the vehicle.
Always use new gaskets, oil seals and O-rings during assembly.
Following removal, clean parts with non-flammable solvents.
Lubricate all work surfaces before assembly, except valve keepers.
All surfaces that have gaskets, oil seals or O-rings must be cleaned with special care.
Carefully inspect all circlips prior to refitting them, replacing any that are misshapen. Only use new gudgeon pin
clips after each use.
Following reassembly, make sure that all parts have been installed correctly and are working perfectly.
Always use top-quality equipment. To lift the vehicle, use purpose-built, legally compliant equipment that
meets national and local standards.
When performing any work on the vehicle that involves the electrical system, make sure the electrical connections
have been made correctly, especially the earth and battery connections.
Only use the specific tools designed for this vehicle.
For removal, servicing and assembly procedures, use metric tools only.
Metric screws, nuts and pins are not interchangeable with imperial fasteners.

2.2 PREPARATION PRIOR TO WORK

Prior to removal work, thoroughly clean parts in order to remove all traces of dirt, dust, mud or foreign matter.
When taking the vehicle apart, always keep mating parts together, namely gears, cylinders, pistons and other
parts that fit together perfectly due to everyday wear. These mating parts must always be reused together, or
replaced altogether.
During work, keep tools close to hand, preferably in the order you will need them and, whatever the case, never
leave them on the vehicle or in a place that is hidden or awkward to reach.
Keep your zone area clean and tidy.
When taking the motorcycle apart, clean all parts and place them in containers in the order they are removed, so
as to make the assembly procedure easier and ensure all parts are fitted correctly. Where necessary, mark parts
or locations that could get mixed up when it comes to reassembly.
