BASIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
i
FRONT SUSPENSION
Loose, worn or damaged suspension components may affect the stability and handling of your motorcycle.
If any of the suspension components seem to be worn or damaged, see your Crossfire Motorcycles dealer
for service and/or inspection. Your Crossfire Motorcycles dealer is the most qualified to determine
whether or not replacement parts or service is required.
Your motorcycle is new. Break it in for about 2 hours with the original settings before attempting
adjustments.
A N01'lCE
Only follow instructions on right if your
motorcycle has adjustable suspension.

IF REPAIR IS NECESSARY, TAKE THE
MOTORCYCLE TO AN XMOTOS DEALER.

I. Check the fork
O
operation by pulling in the front
brake lever and holding it to lock the front wheel.
2. Next, pump down on the handle bars several times. The
suspension should feel clean and smooth.
3. Check the lower end of the forks (near the wheel) for oil
leaks.
4. Inspect the upperf)and lower triple clampsQfor
tightness.
5. Be sure all the triple clamp boltsO are tight.
6. Examine the metal for any cracks, wear or other
damage.
7. Be sure there is no free-play in the steering head

ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION (FRONT)
I. On the top of the fork, you will find a screw head
O
(or
a clicker).
2. It will have the writing S- H, meaning Soft & Hard or
the marks {+)or { - }. This is the Rebound Adjuster.
3. If you turn the screw
O
toward the "H" { + }, the
downward action of the fork will harden. Alternatively,
if you turn the screw toward the "5" ( - }, the
downward action of the fork will soften.
4. To get a good feel for the difference this can make, try
turning both screws all the way to the "H" { + ) position,
then go for a ride. Don't try and set any new records
thought. Once you have a good feel for the ride, try

FUEL (GASOLINE)
Fuel Recommendation -Any unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 90 or higher.
The engine in your motorcycle has been designed to rnn on any gasoline with a pump octane rating of86 or
higher. Most service stations will display the octane rati11g above each pump. Although it is not required,
Crossfire Motorcycles recommends use of gasoline with a 90 octane rating or higher to ensure maximum
performance and reliability.
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause pre-detonation in the engine. When this occurs, you will hear a
persistent "pinging" or "spark knock" which, if severe, can cause engine damage. lt is however no cause for
concern if you hear light pinging while the engine is under hard acceleration, such as climbing up a hill. If
pinging occurs under normal load and a steady engine speed, switch brands of gasoline and be sure you are
using the proper octane rating. Use of unleaded fuel is recommended because it produces fewer engine
deposits and extends the life of the engine and exhaust components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline. Never use gasoline that has been mixed with oil. Avoid
getting dust, dirt and water into the fuel tank.
INSPECTION & REFUELING PROCEDURE
I. Before refueling your motorcycle, check the fuel hoses
O
for leaks, damage, cracks, or deterioration.
2. Replace the fuel hose if you feel it is necessary.
3. Inspect the fuel filter
Q.
replace if necessary.
4. Twist the fuel tank cap
O
counter-clockwise (9 and remove the cap from the tank.
5. Using a funnel, add fuel to the tank until the level reaches about 2 inches from the top of the tank.
6. Twist the fuel cap clockwise G) until it is securely tight.
7. Be sure that you have the breather tube f) connected to the gas tank cap.
