NOTE
Do not skip checking the brake pads, if the thickness is not
checked they could cause damage to the brake calliper.
When the thickness of the pads are considerably reduced, visit a
specialist and have the pads changed.
WHEEL CHANGES
We must change the wheels when they are worn out or after a
puncture. The process is as follows:
SWING ARM SHAFT
It is very important that the rear wheel axle is well centred, otherwise,
or if there is play, the bearing could be damaged.
- To adjust the axle nut, we will go to the rear end of the QUAD. -
The nut is located at the right of the swing arm.
- Use the
(F) spanner, which comes with your GAS GAS Quad to
adjust the shaft.
ADJUSTMENT AND LUBRICATION OF THE CHAIN GUIDE
The drive chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated in
accordance with the Periodic Maintenance table in order to prevent
excessive wear. If the chain is worn or badly adjusted (to tight or
loose) then it may jump off the sprockets or break.
WARNING
A chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the
engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the
motorcycle and causing it to go out of control.
Checking chain tension
- Each wheel has four
nuts (E) which we will
remove with a no.15
wrench.
- Unscrew the nuts and
remove the wheel from
the axle.
- To put them back in
place, follow the same
procedure in reverse
order.
The tightening of the
chain and the swing
arm at the chain guide
must leave about a
finger’s width, if it is
more or less, adjust to
the correct
measurement. Follow
the procedure laid out
below:
(E)
