MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
»
Adjusting the throttle cable *
There must always be a 3 to 5 mm (0.1 to 0.2 in) play in the throttle cable.
To check this, move back the protective cover [1] on the throttle grip. You
must be able to lift the outer covering of the cable 3-5 mm from the adjust-
ing screw [3] , until resistance is felt.
To adjust, loosen the counter nut [2] and turn the adjusting screw accord-
ingly. Finally tighten counter nut and slide the protective cover back on.
Adjusting the idle speed *
The idle speed can be adjusted with throttle stop screw [4] .
Turning in clockwise direction will increase the idle speed.
Turning in counterclockwise direction will reduce the idle speed.
Checking the gear oil level
To check the gear oil level, first remove the plug [5] . With the motorcycle parked
in an upright position, a small quantity of oil should flow out of the indicator
opening [6] . If oil must be added, tilt the motorcycle and pour gear oil (Motorex
ATF Super) into the bore.
Less oil or a poor oil quality lead to premature transmission wear. Therefore,
only use branded products (Motorex ATF Super).
Changing gear oil *
The engine must be warmed up before changing the gear oil. Park the motor-
cycle on a horizontal surface, remove the oil drain plug [7] and drain the used
oil into an appropriate container. Clean the sealing surface, mount the oil drain
plug together with the gasket and tighten to 15 Nm.
Remove stopper [8] and fill in 0.15-0.2 liters of automatic gear oil (Motorex
ATF Super). Mount the stopper and check the engine for tightness.
Less oil or a poor oil quality lead to premature transmission wear. Therefore,
only use branded products (Motorex ATF Super).
