CABLE
The accelerator cable should always be in perfect condition; therefore,
whenever the slightest crack is detected, it must be replaced
immediately. However, in order to extend its life and enhance its
operation, it should be lubricated approximately every 1000 Kms.
Do this by inserting a few drops of SAE-20 between the cable and
its guide.
FRONT BRAKE
Front-wheel braking is achieved through a 240mm-diameter disk
brake operated by a clip and a hydraulic pump. For optimum results,
the braking surface must be oil-free and clean. If, for any reason,
the brake fluid must be drained and replaced, proceed as follows:

Use an aerosol cable
lubricant with a pressure

Apply grease to the
following point throttle
inner cable upper
ends (A).
Remove the pump cap and pour brake fluid to just under the top
level. Next, loosen the bleeder screw and insert a tube in it. The tube
end should be inserted in a container to avoid fluid spilling. After
filling the pump and loosening the bleeder, operate the brake handle
until the fluid drops, making sure that no bubbles come out through
the inserted tube. Then, turn off the bleeder and pour brake fluid into
the reservoir to reach the mid-level mark. Replace the cap and
operate until the braking is perfect.
