Outillage
To facilitate regular maintenance of the motorcycle, a set of tools is available in the
kit placed with the vehicle.
Battery
The battery is normally placed under the right rear fairing of the vehicle. Two
models are available for this model: maintenance free or SLA (factory activated).
Respect the polarity of the battery by connecting the red wire to the positive (+)
terminal and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Improper connection will
damage the charging system and the battery.
Note : After the first 1000 km, then every 3000 km or every 6 months, have the
capacity of your battery checked by your dealer.
Caution
Never damage, block or change the battery breather hose. Make sure that the
breather hose is connected to the corresponding port on the battery and that its
other end is not blocked or pinched. The breather hose and the battery must be
installed correctly.
Spark plug
After driving the first 1000 km, then every 3000 km, clean the carbon deposits from
the spark plug using a small wire brush or spark plug cleaner. Using a feeler gauge,
adjust the gap between the electrodes, keeping a value between 0.6 and 0.8 mm.
Replace the spark plug every 3000 km.
The carbon deposits having been removed, observe the color of the candle
to see if it is suitable for its use. A wet or very dark standard candle means poor
combustion with an overly rich mixture. A light gray or cotton yellow colored spark
plug indicates good combustion and normal conditions of use. An extremely white
spark plug, on the other hand, reflects poor combustion and overheating of the
engine.
Caution
Do not overtighten the spark plug to avoid damaging the cylinder head threads.
When removing it, prevent dirt from falling into the engine through the spark plug
hole.
The original spark plug fitted to the motorcycle has been carefully selected to suit
various operating conditions. If the color of the candle does not comply with normal
conditions of use, we recommend that you contact your dealer.
As the choice of an unsuitable spark plug (for example from another manufacturer)
is likely to seriously damage the engine, we therefore invite you to contact your dealer
before choosing a product sold under another brand.
