[. . . ] The illustrations and description in this booklet are indicative only and the manufacturer reserves itself the right to introduce any modification it may deem necessary for better performance or for constructive or commercial reasons without prior notice. Dear rider First of all we wish to thank you for choosing this motorcycle of our production. By following the instructions outlined in this manual you will ensure your bike a long and troublefree life. Before riding, please read thoroughly this manual in order to know your motorcycle's features and how to operate it safely. [. . . ] If no suitable lubricant is available, we recommend the light greasing of the rubber and metal parts with brake fluid. Fluid should be handled with care, as it may dissolve paintwork. A wrong spoke tension or the breakage of one or more spokes may affect the wheel, thus compomising the vehicle safety and stability. Always respect the maximum tolerated load specifications. The non observance of the requirements for tyres pressure or load limits can affect the handling, operation and control of the motorcycle. Allowed weight supported by this motorcycle is 200 kgs (passengers + luggage + accessories). To disassemble the rear wheel from the fork arm and gearbox, do the following: place the vehicle on the middle kick-stand; remove the left muffler; unscrew the lock screw-pin «A» for the calliper plate «B»; disassemble the brake calliper «C» from the calliper plate «B»; unscrew the nut «D» with washer «E» on the housing side pin loosen the pin lock screw «F» on the fork arm; remove the pin «G» from the housing, from the hub and from the fork arm; remove the calliper plate «B» Tilt the vehicle on the right side enough to be able to pull the wheel off the fork, arm and transmission housing. To replace the wheel, reverse the disassembly order remembering to insert the calliper plate on the stop «A» of the left arm of the swinging fork. Tyres are among those machine components which require regular checking. Machine stability, rider comfort and safety all depend on good tyre condition. Do not use tyres with less than 2 mm of tread. incorrect tyre pressures can cause instability and excessive tyre wear. Tyre pressures: front wheel: with one or two riders 2. For use at continuous maximum speed, on the motorway, it is recommended to increase the pressure in the front wheel by 0. If a tyre needs replacing, use the same make and type as the first-equipment tyre. Tyre pressure should be measured when tyres are cold. This machine is fitted with cast, aluminum alloy rims; even though these are very strong they can be damaged both aesthetically and mechanically by the use of incorrect tools when removing and fitting tyres. Tyre levers should not have sharp edges or ribbing in those places where they come into contact with the rim; lever contact surfaces should be smooth and edges should be rounded. Use of a suitable commercially available lubricant facilitates tyre removal and fitting therefore making strenuous use of the levers unnecessary. It is important to ensure that the tyre beads settle properly into the centre rim groove. Some tyres have an arrow moulded on the sidewall, in these cases the tyres should be fitted as follows: rear wheel: arrow pointing in the direction of rotation; front wheel: arrow pointing against the direction of rotation. - These instructions should be followed unless otherwise directed by the tyre manufacturer. [. . . ] Avoid contact with skin and eyes as it may cause severe burns. If you spill some electrolyte on your skin, wash the affected area with abundant water. If some electrolyte gets into your eyes, wash with running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advise without delay.
