Valve clearance
The correct valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper fuel/air supply or engine
noise. To prevent this, the valve clearance must
be adjusted regularly. This adjustment however,
should be left to a professional BMS service
technician.
Brakes
Replacement of brake components requires
professional knowledge. Brake service should
be performed by a BMS dealer.
Operating with improperly serviced or ad-
justed brakes could lead to a loss in braking
ability and an accident.
Checking the front and rear brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with wear indicator
grooves, which allow you to check the brake
pad wear without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake pad wear, check the
wear indicator grooves. If a brake pad has worn
to the point that the wear indicator grooves
have almost disappeared, have a BMS dealer
replace the brake pads as a set. The wheels
need to be removed to check the brake pads.
(See Chapter 8 for wheel removal and installa-
tion procedures.)
