DOWNTOWN 200i
CLUTCH SHOE WEAR
Start engine and check the clutch operation by
increasing the engine speed gradually.
If the motorcycle tends to creep or the engine stop,
check the clutch shoes for wear and replace if
necessary.
SUSPENSION
FRONT
Check the action of the front shock absorbers by
compressing them several times.
Check the entire shock absorber assembly for oil
leaks, looseness or damage.
REAR
Each shock absorber(4) on your scooter has 5
spring preload adjustment positions for different
load or riding conditions.
Use a pin spanner(5) to adjust the rear shock
spring preload. Position 1 is for light loads and
smooth road conditions. Position 3 to 5 increase
spring preload for a stiffer rear suspension and
can be used when the scooter is heavily loaded.
Be certain to adjust both shock absorbers to the
same spring preload positions.
