6. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The LEVO/KENEVO is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and parts
replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general information regarding
maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. In addition, routinely perform a Mechanical Safety
Check before each ride, as described in the Owner’s Manual.
„
Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber 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
in inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash, you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying,
gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle
shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an Authorized
Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.
„
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 or fatigue at stress
points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points of contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of
excessive wear, discover any cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding
the bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
„
Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as use, rider weight,
riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the LEVO/KENEVO uses a power-assisted drive system, which
means more distance is covered in the same amount of time. Components may be subject to increased wear at
different rates, depending on the component. Drivetrain and brake components are especially subject to wear.
Periodically have your Authorized Specialized Retailer inspect your bicycle and components.
„
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the winter), can result in
galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and bolts, which can accelerate wear and shorten
the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be
cleaned before each ride. The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer,
which means it should be cleaned, inspected for signs of corrosion and/or cracks and lubricated. If you notice
any signs of corrosion or cracking on the frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.
„
Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s instructions.
„
Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden hose can penetrate
bearing seals and crank interfaces, increasing bearing and crank wear. Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle
cleaning agents for cleaning.
„
Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a car parked in the sun
or near a heat source such as a radiator.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to the components
on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in serious personal injury
or death. If your bicycle exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
WARNING! When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the
seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may
not be visible, and you may lose control and fall.
WARNING! Always turn off the battery when not in use and/or when working on it.
CAUTION: Do not open the motor assembly. The motor assembly is a sealed maintenance-free
system. Any work on the motor assembly must be performed by a Specialized Service Center.
Your bicycle should be inspected and serviced by your Authorized Specialized Retailer on a regular
basis, depending on use. The first inspection should be performed within 200 km / 120 miles. See
detailed service schedule on page 23 .
