rear ride height and “hardness”. Inserting a suitable 6mm (1/4”) lever rod
in the socket, the adjusting collar can be rotated to engage the desired
step. The factory setting is for minimum preload which suits the vast ma-
jority of riders. Please refer adjustment to your MOTORINO™ dealer if you
are unsure of the mechanism or what is correct for you.
Lubricating Brake Lever Pivots
Apply a multi-purpose chassis grease to the pivot bolts where they pass
through the brake lever itself, either by means of a spray or by removal
and replacement of the bolt.
Checking Wheel Bearing Play
In normal use, the sealed ball bearings in the front and rear hubs of your
MOTORINO™ do not require servicing or lubrication and only need to be
checked for wear or damage.
To check, raise the wheel being tested off the ground and then, from one
side, grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to rock it perpendicular
to the axle axis. Play will be felt as a looseness between two hard stops.
Only the slightest perception of play is acceptable.
Once you have ascertained that the play is not because of loose axle nuts,
refer bearing replacement to your MOTORINO™ dealer.
Checking for Steering Bearing Play
The steering column runs on upper and lower ball bearings and is very
similar to conventional bicycle headsets. In normal use they do not re-
quire servicing other than an occasional adjustment.
To check play, raise the front wheel completely off the ground. Be certain
the handlebars turn smoothly with no tight spots. From the front of the
bike, grab the bottoms of the front shocks with your respective hands
and try to push and pull the wheel away and toward you. Play will be felt
as a looseness between two hard stops and should be distinct from a bit
of natural flexing of parts.
Refer bearing adjustment or replacement to your MOTORINO™ dealer.
