[. . . ] SPARKING-PLUG CHECK WARNING Always clean the filter in an area that is properly ventilated and free from sparks or flames in the vicinity (this includes any powerful light sources). Do not use petrol to clean the filter, as this might cause an explosion. (C) (C). Spark plug removed from the valve cover. -20- The proper working of the engine depends on the good condition of the sparking plug; therefore, this is an extremely important component that can be easily inspected. For instance, if the central-electrode porcelain insulation appears to be too white, this might be due to a leak in the carburettor air-intake tube, or to carburettor damage or malfunction. The high temperatures the electrode is subjected to, together with carbon deposits, result in excessive wear and eventually render it useless. When this stage is reached, replace the sparking plug with a new one of the same type and recommended thermal grade (NGK BR 8 ES), or any other brand of a similar thermal grade. Carburettors must always be checked by an authorized GAS GAS dealer. (D) The only precaution to bear in mind is that of ensuring that it is completely full of liquid, since, in this way, the water is guaranteed to complete the whole circuit. In this way the you avoid the freezing of the water with the attendant risks engine seizures or breakages of the pump blades. STRIP BOX ~ 0, 6 _ 0, 7 mm In order to enhance its performance, this engine has been fitted with strip admission. Because of their fragility, the strips must not be tampered with, either by opening or by folding them, as this would result in engine malfunction and in the invalidation of the dealer's guarantee. Remove the dirt on the thread and clean the gasket seating, in order to prevent any foreign matter from entering the combustion chamber. Sparking-plug replacement requires checking to see that the electrode gap remains between 0. 6 and 0. 7 mm. RADIATOR (D) The radiator, which reduces the temperature of the engine-cooling water, has been secured with silent blocks under the petrol tank. -21- Strip box. CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT Clutch adjustment may be carried out by means of the tightening device supplied with the handle. This is achieved by tightening or loosening the tightening screw, as required. Due to its hydraulic action, the clutch assembly requires no handle-clearance adjustments. CHAIN TIGHTENING Tightening and aligning the chain is easily achieved by loosening the nuts on the wheel axle (A) and by turning the nuts on the chain tighteners (B) as required, until the right chain tension or sag is achieved, together with a proper wheel centering and alignment. (A) CHAIN LUBRICATION (A). WARNING Always try to achieve a proper chain-and-wheel alignment, as otherwise the chain might come off and hit and damage the crankcase. The chain should be cleaned and checked periodically. To achieve this, remove the chain while keeping the hook at one of its ends, which will both confirm its previous position and avoid the risk of losing it. Clean the chain thoroughly with a metal brush, by submerging it in a petrol bath and shaking it until all of its links are clean and free from obstructions. Submerge it again in clean petrol or gas oil, rinse and allow it to dry for a few minutes. Lubricate and reassemble it, always making sure that the hook is placed in the opposite direction to the chain movement. It is most advisable to lubricate the chain every 100 or 200 Kms with special chain-lubrication oil. (A) (B) (A). Chain adjuster locknuts. -22- FRONT SUSPENSION The front suspension, featuring state-of-the-art technology and design, includes an inverted hydraulic fork with 32mm-diameter rods. Each rod has its own purpose and effect, as, whilst one of them acts mechanically through compression springs, the other one only operates hydraulically.
