COMSUMER INFORMATION FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY Tampering with noise control system prohibited Owners are warned that the law may prohibit: (a) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; and (b) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. In accordance with the international quality management ISO 9001 standard, QUAD uses quality assurance processes that lead to the highest possible product quality. IMPORTANT INFORMATION » INTENDED PURPOSE The 990 Super Duke is designed to resist the usual wear and tear of paved roads but is not designed for race courses or off-road use. [. . . ] Before tightening the wheel spindle make sure the chain tensioner [5] rests against the adjustment screws and the rear wheel is aligned with the front wheel. If you don't happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a QUAD dealer as soon as possible. A loose axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle. NOTE: The large adjusting range of the chain adjusters (32mm) allows you to use different secondary ratios in combination with the same chain length. The chain adjusters [5] can be rotated by 180°. 5 A MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » Chain maintenance 41 Maintenance of the X-ring chain is reduced to a minimum. Residual used grease must be removed prior to lubrication (Motorex Chain Clean 611). After drying, use a chain spray specially designed for X-ring chains (Motorex Chainlube 622 Strong). ­ No lubrication is allowed to reach the rear tire or the brake disk, eitherwise the road adherence and the rear wheel braking effects would be strongly reduced and the motorcycle could easily get out of control. Always have the chain replaced in an authorized QUAD workshop where the service technicans have the required riveting tool. Also check sprockets and chain guides for wear, and replace if necessary. 15 KG Checking the chain for wear To check the chain for wear proceed as follows: Switch the transmission to idle and put a load of approx. 15 kilograms (33 lbs) on the lower part of the chain (see illustration). QUAD motorcycle gaskets and brake hoses are not designed for DOT 5 brake fluid. Brake fluid is exposed to a high thermal load and absorbs moisture from the air, which lowers the boiling point. The brake fluid should therefore be changed at the prescribed intervals. Have the brake fluid for the front and rear brake changed at an authorized QUAD workshop every 2 years. A BRAKE DISCS: Wear reduces the thickness of the brake disc in the area of contact [4] with the brake pads. The brake disk should not be thinner than 4 mm (0. 16 in) at the weakest point [A]. Check the front and rear brake discs for damage, cracking and deformation. If the brake disk exhibits damage, cracking or deformation: Change the brake disc. Brake disks that are less than 4 mm (0. 16 in) thick are a safety hazard. Have worn brake disks replaced immediately. 4 MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » Adjusting the basic position of the hand brake lever 1 44 The basic position of the hand brake lever can be modified by turning the adjusting screw [1]. This lets you adapt the position of the pressure point (the resistance you feel on the hand brake lever when the brake pads are pressed against the brake disk) to fit any hand. min. 3 mm At the hand brake lever, free travel must at least be 3 mm (0. 12 in). [. . . ] Inspect the motorcycle as you would before each start-up (see , , Driving Instructions"). Go on a short, cautious test ride NOTE: before you store your motorcycle at the end of the season, check all parts for proper functioning and wear. If service, repairs or conversions are necessary, have them carried out while the motorcycle is immobilized (workshops are not fully utilized). This will help to avoid long waiting periods at the beginning of the season.
