[. . . ] Centring the rim Put a quadrant gauge next to the rim and rotate the wheel to measure the axial centring. Put the dial on the inside of the rim circumference, rotate the wheel and the difference between the largest and smallest measurement is the centring measurement. If the wheel is slightly off-centre then this can be corrected by loosening certain spokes and tightening others in order to change the rim position. Spoke tightening tool NOTE A soldered area on the rim may give an excessive reading. Ignore this while measuring the centring. -38- Cleaning 1- Preparation for cleaning Before cleaning the motorcycle must be prepared so that water does not penetrate certain areas of the bike. The exhaust: Once this is cold, cover it with a plastic bag attached with rubber. Clutch and brake levers, grips and stop button: cover with a plastic bag. Air filter intake: cover this with insulation tape or a cloth. 3- After cleaning - Remove the plastic bags and clean the air filter intake. WARNING Never wax or lubricate the brake disk, this could lead to brake failure and could provoke an accident. Clean the disk using trichloroethylene or acetone. 2- Where to be careful Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places: Disc brake master cylinders and callipers; under the fuel tank (If water gets into the ignition coil or into the spark plug cap, the spark will jump through the water and be grounded out; the affected parts must be dried). Swing arm pivots. -39- Tighten bolts and nuts Every day before using the bike, rapidly ensure that all bolts and nuts are tightened. Also make certain that all of the other fastenings are in place and in good condition. 1 2 3 4 6 7 9 1 19 20 21 22 24 23 25 8 10 11 13 14 15 12 16 17 18 26 28 27 29 1- Front and rear wheels 2- Front forks 3- Handle bars 4- Clutch lever support bolt 6- Air filter housing bolts 7- Seat support bolts 8- Spokes 9- Disk plate screws 10- Front axle bolt 11- Brake attachment bolt 12- Sub chassis support bolt 13- Radiator support bolts 14- Nuts and bolts of the engine mounting 15- Shift pedal bolts 16- Chain guide bolts 17- Chain adjust bolt -40- 18- Rear axle bolt 19- Silencer support bolts 20- Sub chassis bolts 21- Rear shock bolts 22- Exhaust flange bolt 23- Upper suspension plate bolts 24- Steering head nut 25- Brake lever support bolt 26- Rod support bolt 27- Rear brake pedal bolt 28- Rod support bolt Rocker 29- Rocker arm bolt TIGHTENING TORQUE TABLE Tighten all of the bolts and nuts using the correct spanners.

Before lubricating each part, clean off any rusty spots with rust remover and wipe off any grease, oil, dirt, or grime. - Shift pedal (E). (E) Use an aerosol with a pressure tube to lubricate (A) (B) (D) (D) (C) (C) -42- Use grease on the inner throttle cable Chain lubrication Lubricate the chain after wet terrain or when the chain looks dry. A high viscosity oil rather than low viscosity oil is better because it will stay a long time in chain providing lubrication. Put oil on the sides of the chain rollers (A) so that it penetrates into these; remove excess oil. The recommended viscosity is SAE 5 W-40; if an SAE 5 W-40 oil is not possible use an alternative according to the table above. Checking the oil level and making the changes periodically are two very important operations to keep the engine in perfect shape. Initially replace the oil after 5 hours of operation and then every 60 hours. NOTE The engine oil expands and thus the level increases when it is hot. Check and adjust the level when the motor oil is not hot. (A) (A).
