[. . . ] Left (hydraulic compression). 7 C The front suspension is adjusted manually C The preloading of the damper spring is measured by the rotation of the toothed rings (C) with the aid of a special wrench. 7 D 7 The link adjustments at the lower part of rear suspension must be periodically cleaned, verified and lubricated with grease. C C Ii is very importante to periodically remove and verify the condition of the swingarm bearings and holders. 7 -32- 1) All linkages of the brake and clutch levers. C Use special oil to lubricate the following: C 2) The linkage of the gear shift lever. 8 C 3) Also the rear brake pedal (bearings). 8 C 4) Apply grease to the footrests springs and fixtures. 8 8 -33- C 8 5) Apply grease to the linkage of the engine starting lever. 6) The secondary chain must be cleaned and lubricated thouroughly and frequently since it is exposed to inclemency and constant rubbing C 7 7) Lubricate the handlebar with a fine coat of oil to allow smooth operation of the gasoline control. C -34- 8 C 8) It is also recommended to frequently lubricate the chain tensor spring because ii is under great stress. 7 7 C -35- 9) Oil and clean the gas control frequently; it is especially recommended to do so after the bike has been cleaned with water under high pressure. 7 C C To regulate the chain slack and center the rear wheel use the shaft excentrics which can be easily graduated. 7 The chain tension must allow a slack near the tensor of about 2 cm. 7 The chain linkage must be placed in opposite direction of the wheel travel. C -36- All tyres conditions must checked to insure optimum road adherence possible. 2 C Tyre pressure should be checked periodically to insure the best road adherence possible. Front wheel pressure: 0, 450 bar - normal 0, 420 bar - competition Rear wheel pressure: 0, 350 bar - normal 0, 300 bar - competition 7 7 -37- Front tyre: 2, 75 x 21" TRIAL Rear tyre: 4, 00 x 18" TRIAL (tubeless) Pad brakes wear, front and rear, must be checked from time to time to insure an efficient braking power under all circumstances. C 8 7 The brake calipers have been furnished with bleeder valves to eliminate the air trapped in the brake circuit. C The front brake fluid level can be verified watching through the transparent inspection window. -38- 7 C 7 7 The rear brake fluid reservoir is located at the cylinder support. Verify fluid level periodically and refill if necessary. C To verify the reservoir level you must remove the fuel tank, and place de oil reservoir in horizontal position to check the real fluid level. Must be filled between the marks MIN & MAX.

When starting off after an extended storage: - Remove the plastic bag from the exhaust pipe. - Inspect tyre pressure and inflate to the specified pressure, if necessary. I To avoid excessive ageing of the plastic parts and other washable pieces of the motorcycle, it is suggested that these items must be washed carefully. If the washer applies water at high pressure and/or temperature, take the precaution of maintaining the washer outlet gun at a distance of 30 centimeters minimum, this will insure the correct gloss of the plastics and adherence of the self-adhesive labels that decorate the motorcycle. -41- GAS GAS MULTIFUNCTION INSTRUCTIONS The multifunction apparatus, which is waterproof, has 2 LED indicators on a central indicator screen. This central indicator screen, made of liquid crystal and with illumination, gives information about the rpm, speed, distance travelled, total kilometres travelled, time, average speed, maximum speed, ambient temperature, length of time with motor running and total time. The odometer and the control for the total time with motor running save the data to the memory, even when the device is switched off. When the multifunction apparatus is not activated, it displays a clock. The value of the wheel circumference can be altered, as well as the system of measurement (metric or British). The ambient temperature is displayed on the upper left-hand part of the screen. The screen can display the engine temperature from an optional temperature sensor. If the rpm are too high, the second warning LED lights up in red. 1. 6.
