This manual provides a wealth of basic information on the moped features and how best to use it.

Thank you for trusting us and welcome to GAS GAS Motorcycles. -3- IMPORTANT NOTICE Read this manual thoroughly. [. . . ] Both the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated by the same oil contained in the 500cc crankcase. This draining operation may be carried out by removing the clutch cap or by operating the oil-drain screw. - Draining the oil by operating the screw is easier. This should be done while the engine is still hot, in order to achieve a cleaner crankcase and to benefit from a more fluid condition of the oil that will speed up the draining operation. Remove the screw and wait for the crankcase to empty. Next, replace the screw, fill the crankcase, and use the dipstick to check that the right level has been reached. It is advisable to change the oil after the initial 500 Kms, with an oillevel check every 2500 Kms and a new change every 5000 Kms. CARBURETTOR Spark plug condition Correct Poor Rich Dry and clear insulation White insulation Damp and black insulation Change carburation one step higher. Change carburation one step lower. - Check to see that there is oil in the oil reservoir. Before starting the engine, make sure that the oil supply reaches the right level. Upon removal of the screw, a slight tilting of the moped should suffice for the oil to issue through the oil-level hole. This is achieved by tightening or loosening the tightening screw, as required. The handle should have a 4-5 mm clearance. 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.
