WARNING
— Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage, serious
personal injury or death. If your bike exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and
immediately bring it to your authorized Greyp retailer for inspection.
All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and parts replacement must be performed
by an authorized Greyp retailer.
WARNING —
If your use of a bicycle applies more stress than that which is intended, the bi-
cycle or its parts can be damaged or broken. A bicycle that has damage could decrease your
control and cause you to fall. Do not ride in conditions that apply more stress than the limits
of the bicycle. If you are not sure of the limits of the bicycle, consult your bike shop.
Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fibre or composite material. Any damage
may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This
damage may or may not be visible on inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash, you
should carefully inspect your vehicle for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint,
chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. If discovered, do not ride any further and take
your Greyp bike to an authorized Greyp retailer for a complete inspection.
The lifespan and type and frequency of maintenance depend on many factors, such as
frequency and type of use, rider weight, riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the
Greyp G6.X uses a power-assisted drive system, which means more distance at different
rates, depending on the component. The drivetrain and brake components are especially
subject to wear. Have your authorized Greyp retailer inspect your vehicle and components
periodically.
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in winter)
can result in galvanic corrosion of components, which can accelerate wear and shorten the
lifespan of your bike. Dirt can also accelerate the wear of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces
of the bike should be cleaned before each ride. Proper care and regular maintenance can
help increase the longevity of components. If you notice any signs of corrosion or cracking
on the frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced. While riding, listen for
any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more components. Periodically
examine all surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small hairline cracks and if you discover
any, no matter how small, or any damage to components, immediately stop riding and have
