Troubleshooting schedule

Checking the transmission oil level

1

Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws 
(one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.

2

Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank.

FR 2218 FA

 Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/40 

(class SF–CC).

FR 2218FA 4X4

 Fill if necessary with oil Synthetic 10W/50

The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service 
representative, as described in the Workshop Manual.

Work on the system entails particular demands on 
cleanliness and the system must be vented before the 
machine is used.

Lubricating the belt adjuster

The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good 
quality molybdenum disulphide grease*.

1

Unscrew the belt shield.

2

Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand 
side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is 
forced out.

3

Screw on the belt shield.

With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly.

General lubrication

All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum 
disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate 
using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and 
control wires using engine oil.

Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the 
machine should be lubricated twice weekly.

*Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical 
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most 
important property is that the grease provides good 
protection against corrosion.

Lubricating the front wheel bearings

The front cover and wing covers must be removed on Rider 
with rear ejection, so that the tubular loop can be lifted to 
remove the wheel.

1

Remove the plastic cover that covers the centre of the 
wheel.

2

Remove the circlip and washer on the front wheel axle.

3

Lift off the wheel.

4

Lubricate the stub axle with molybdenum disulphide 
grease*.

5

Assemble the parts in the reverse order.

*Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical 
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most 
important property is that the grease provides good 
protection against corrosion.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Check that the circlip enters the groove correctly.
