Inspections, adjustments and regular lubrications keep the machine
in optimum safety and working conditions.
Safety is the responsibility of the owner of the machine. In the
following pages the most important points concerning inspections,
adjustments and lubrication are explained.
WARNING
Do not carry out any maintenance work to the engine while it is
running. Moving parts could catch clothing or your body and cause
injury. Electrical components may cause sparks, electrical shocks
and fire. Before carrying out any maintenance work, stop the engine,
unless otherwise indicated. If not familiar with the maintenance of
your vehicle, it is better to take it to a specialised workshop.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH LEVER
Correct clutch lever play is 2-3 mm. The play increases with the
wear of the clutch plate and thus requires adjustment.
When there is too much play, first try adjusting the level of the clutch
lever.
Tighten the adjustment bolt to obtain the optimal play.
If the adjustment of the clutch lever is at its maximum, use the clutch
cylinder piston rod to adjust play.
ADJUSTING BRAKE LEVER AND BRAKE PEDAL
A worn disc is automatically compensated and does not affect either
the brake lever or the brake pedal. Therefore, the only parts to require
adjustment are the play of the front brake lever, and the position and
play of the rear brake pedal.
Front brake lever
At first the play of the lever is directly related to the wear of the pads,
that is, if you notice play in the lever, before adjusting the play it is
advisable to check the brake pads carefully, in case they need
changing.
Once you have checked the pads, then the brake lever can be
adjusted until it feels comfortable. Tighten bolt
(D) as shown in the
picture. This bolt is covered with a piece of rubber. Remove the
rubber and you will find a groove in which the bolt is inserted and
adjusted. If you tighten the bolt, there will be less play and likewise,
if it is loosened, the lever will have more play.
