[. . . ] QUAD-Sportmotorcycle AG particularly reserves the right to modify any equipment, technical specifications, prices, colors, shapes, materials, services, service work, constructions, equipment and the like so as to adapt them to local conditions or to cancel any of the above items, all without previous announcement and without giving reasons. QUAD may stop manufacturing certain models without previous notice. QUAD shall not be held liable for any deviations of availability and/or ability to deliver, illustrations, descriptions, printing and/or other errors. The illustrated models partly contain extra equipment, which is not applied to standard models. [. . . ] Rinse off any heavy dirt with plenty of water. 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. ­ The chain does not have a chain joint for safety reasons. 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). Now measure the distance between 18 chain rollers on the upper part of the chain. The chain needs to be replaced when the distance is 272 mm (10. 70 in). Since chains do not always wear evenly, repeat the measurement at different parts of the chain. Brake fluid DOT 5. 1 is a polyethylene glycol based fluid, amber-colored and can be mixed with DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not, in any event, use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is based on silicone oil and is dyed purple. 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. [. . . ] General information on QUAD disk brakes .
