Coolant information
To protect the cooling system aluminum parts (engine and radiator) from rust and corrosion, the use for corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals in the coolant is essential. If coolant containing corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals is not used, over a period of time, the cooling system accumulates rust and scale in the water jacket and radiator. This will clog coolant passages, and reduce the efficiency of the cooling system.
CAUTION
Use of incorrect coolant solutions will cause severe engine and cooling system damage.
Use coolant containing corrosion inhibitors made specifically for aluminum engines and radiators in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.
WARNING
Coolant chemicals are harmful to the human body. Follow coolant manufacturer warnings and coolant handing instructions.
CAUTION
Soft or distilled water must be used with the inhibitor chemicals and the antifreeze (see below for antifreeze) in the cooling system.
If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system.
Coolant Level
- Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
- Remove the radiator cap in two steps. First turn the cap counterclock-
wise to the first stop and wait there for a few seconds. Then push and turn it further in the same direction and remove the cap.
(A)
If the lowest ambient temperature encountered falls below the freezing point of water, protect the cooling system against engine and radiator freeze-up. Use a permanent type of anti-freeze (soft water and ethylene glycol plus corrossion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminium engines and radiators) in the cooling system.
For the coolant mixture ratio under extreme conditions, choose the mixture ratio listed on the container for the lowest ambient temperature.
(A). Radiator Cap
CAUTION
Permantent types of antifreeze on the market have anticorrosion and anti-rust properties. When it is diluted excessively, it loses its antifreeze and anticorrosion properties. Dilute a permanent type of antifreeze in accordance with the instructions of manufacturer.
EC FSE 2004 -
81
-
NOTE
Check the level when the engine is cold.
Coolant Change
- The coolant should be changed periodically to ensure long engine life.
- Wait for the engine to cool completely.
- Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground. -
- Remove the radiator cap.
- Place a container under the coolant drain plug, and drain the coolant from the radiator and engine by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the water pump cover. Immediately wipe or wash off any coolant that spills on the frame, engine, or wheels.
(1). Coolant Level
(2). Breather Hose
If the coolant level is low, add the correct amount of coolant through the filler opening.
(A)
Recomended Coolant
Permanent type of antifreeze (soft water and ethylene glycol plus corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminum engines and radiators).
NOTE
A permanent type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system when shipped. It is colored green, contains a 50% solution of ethylene glycol, and has a freezing point of -35º C. (-32º F )(USA).

WARNING
Coolant on tires will make them slippery and can cause an accident and injury.
- Visually inspect the old coolant. If whitish cotton-like wafts are observed, aluminum parts in the cooling system are corroded. If the coolant is brown, iron or steel parts are rusting. In either case, flush the cooling system.
- Check the cooling system for damage, loose joints, or leaks.
- Install the water pump cover drain plug and cylinder drain plug with the specified torques shown in the table. Always replace the gasket with a new one, if it damaged.
it, clean it (preferably with a (sandblaster) and then clean off any abrasive particles. The plug may also be cleaned using a high flashpoint solvent and a wire brush or other suitable tool. Measure the gap with a wire-type thickness gauge, and adjust the gap, if incorrect, by bending the outer electrode. If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged, or if insulator is cracked, replace the plug.
NOTE
Inspect every 30 hours. Replace every 60 hours.
Drain Plug Tightening Torque

Drive Chain, Chain Guide, Chain Slidder, and Sprockets Wear
Inspection.
When the chain has worn so much that it is more than 2% longer than when new, it is no longer safe for use and should be replaced.
Whenever the chain is replaced, inspect both the engine and rear sprockets, and replace them if necessary. Worn sprockets will cause a new chain to wear quickly.
NOTE
For maximum strech resistance and safety, a genuine part must be used for replacement.
To minimize any chance of the master link coming apart, the master link clip must be installed with the closed end of the
«U» points in the direction of chain rotation.
Chain Slider Wear
Visually inspect the upper and lower chain sliders.

CAUTION
Never forget the key in the lock. If you turn left the steering with the key in, it will be damaged.
FRONT FORK
The front fork should always be adjusted for the rider´s weight and track conditions by using one or more of the following methods.
- Air pressure: Air pressure acts as a progressive spring and affects the entire range of fork travel. The air pressure in the fork increases as the fork heats up, so the fork action on your GAS GAS will get stiffer as the race progresses. Because of this, we don´t recommend using air pressure for additional springing. Your GAS GAS forks are designed to work without adding any air.
- Rebound and compression dampening adjustment: This adjustment affects how quickly the rebound. The fork rebound dampening adjuster has 16 clicks. The seated position (fully clockwise until the adjuster stops) is full hard. From the point 6 - 8 clicks counterclockwise is the standar setting, and 16 clicks counterclockwise is full soft.
- Oil level adjustment: The effects of higher or lower fork oil level are only felt during the final 100 mm of fork travel. A higher oil level will make the fork rebound more slowly.
- Fork springs: Optional springs are available that are softer and stiffer than standard.
Air Pressure
The standard air pressure in the front fork legs is atmospheric pressure. The air pressure in the fork legs increases as operation progresses.

Fork Springs
Different fork springs are available to achieve suitable front fork action in accordance with the rider´s weight and track conditions.
- Harder springs make the fork stiffer, and rebound action quicker.
- Softer sprigs make the fork softer, and rebound action slower.
Fork Clamp Position Adjustment
Steering qualities are greatly affected by the fork clamp position (the amount of the outer tube projecting above the steering stem head).
When the fork tube height is smaller, the front end becomes lighter due to change in weight bias. Also, it tends to understeer in turns at «whash out». When the height is greater, the results are opposite.Be
sure the front tire doesn´t rub the fender when the fork tubes compress fully. Make this adjustment in 5mm increments.
CAUTION
The outer tubes, both right and left, should be adjusted evenly.

WHEELS
Tires
- Tire pressure affects traction, handling, and tire life.
- Adjust the tire pressure to suit track conditions and rider preference, but do not stray too far from the recommended pressure.
NOTE
Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold before you ride.
Track condition
- When the track is wet, muddy, sandy or slippery, reduce the tire pressure.
- When the track is pebbly or hard, increase the tire pressure.
Spokes and Rim
The spokes on both wheels must all be tightened securely and evenly and not be allowed to loosen. Unevenly tightened or loose spokes will cause the rim to warp, hasten nipple and overall spoke fatigue, and may result in spoke breakage.

Tire bead lock (clamp)
There is a lock (clamp) on the front and rear wheels. The bead lock
(clamp) prevents the tire and tube from slipping on the rim and damaging the valve stem. Valve stem damage may cause the tube to leak, necessitating tube replacement. In order that the tire and tube remain fixed in position on the rim, inspect the bead lock (clamp)
before riding and tighten it if necessary. Tighten the valve stem nut finger tight only.
NOTE
The weld joint area of the rim may show excessive runout.
Disregard this when measuring runout.
Cleaning
1- Preparation for washing
Before washing, precautions must be taken to keep water off the following places:
Rear opening of: The silencer cover with a plastic bag secured with rubber bands
Clutch and brake levers, hand grips, engine stop button: Cover with plastic bags.
Air cleaner intake: Close up the opening with tape or stuff in rags.
2- Where to be careful
Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places:
- Disc brake master cylinders and calipers.
- 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. When this happens, the motorcycle will not start and the affected parts must be wiped dry.
- Front and rear hubs.
- Steering pivots (Steering stem head pipe).
- Suspension linkage system pivots.
- Swing arm pivot.
3- After washing:
- Remove the plastic bags, and clean the air cleaner intake.
- Lubricate the points listed in the lubrication section.
- Start the engine and run for 5 minutes.
- Dry the brakes before operating the motorcycle.
WARNING
Never wax or lubricate the brake disc. Loss of braking and an accident could result. Clean the disc with an oil-less solvent such as trichloroethylene or acetone.

The oil is pumped from the oil reservoir to the engine when the latter is running. The oil reservoir in this motorcycle is located in the top front part of the frame. The oil level, when the bike is not in use, decreases. The oil level drips down into the engine case. To check the oil level, follow these instructions :
1. If the bike has been stopped for a week, we can be sure that all the oil is within the engine case.
NOTE
When starting the engine, closely follow care and warnings from the “start the engine” section.
2. Stop the engine and wait three minutes.
6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Oil level must be between line (L) (LOW) and (F) (FULL). If that is not the case, fill up the reservoir until the level reaches just the (F) line.
CAUTION
The level of the motor oil has to be between line «L» and line «F», engine damage may occur otherwise.
Check the oil level with the dipstick, with the bike in a completely upright position, every time you are going to use the bike.
(A)
NOTE
Motor oil expands and descends when it is hot. Check and adjust the level when the motor oil is not hot.
3. After removing the cap, remove the dipstick next. (A).
Cange of oil and filter
The oil should be changed when the engine is hot, since this helps the oil to go out through the drain located in the lowest part of the engine. Follow these steps to change the oil.

WARNING
The engine oil and the outpour tube can be very hot and cause burns.
Wait until the oil and the outpour tube are a little colder, by touching the oil drain with your hand.
WARNING
Using new or used oil may be hazardous. Permanent contact of oil with the skin has caused skin cancer in many lab animals.
Avoid contact of motor oil with the skin as much as possible, to avoid possible skin irritation.
- Keep new or used oil away from the reach of childrren
- Clean jersey cuffs and pants
- Wash yourself with soap if oil has been in contact with your skin.

12. Check that the oil level is correct.
8.
Before replacing the oil filter, make sure that the spring (E) and the o-ring (F) are in the correct position.
SUSPENSION TUNING
No area of machine adjustment is more critical than proper suspension tuning. An improperly tuned suspension will keep even the best rider from attaining the full benefit of his machine´s ability. Match the suspension to the rider and the course conditions.
- If the machine is new, break-in the suspension with at least one hour of riding before making any setting evaluations or changes.
EC FSE 2004 -
109
-
- The three major factors which must be considered in suspension tuning are RIDER WEIGHT, RIDER HABILITY, and TRACK
CONDITIONS. Additional influences include the RIDER´S STYLE and POSITIONING on the machine.
- If you have a problem, test by changing your riding posture or position so that the cause of the problem can be deduced.
- It is a wise practice to adjust suspension settings to suit the rider´s strong points. If you are fast through the corners, adjust the suspension to allow fast cornering.
- Make setting changes in small increments; a little bit goes a long way, and it is very easy to overadjust a setting.
- The front and rear suspension should be balanced; when one is changed, the other might need to be changed similarly.
- When evaluating suspension performance the rider must make every effort to ride consistently and recognize the effects of his input; such things as changes in rider position and increasing fatigue may lead to incorrect judgments about neceessary setting adjustments.
- When the proper settings have been determined for a particular track, they should be written down for reference when returning to that track.
- When the oil level is lowered:
The aire spring is less progressive, and the front fork does not become as ¨hard¨ in the later stage of travel.
- Changing the fork oil level works effectively at the end of fork travel.
If fork bottoming is experienced, raise fork fork oil level in 10 mm increments. This will change the secondary spring rate.
Oil level adjustment
Adjust the front fork oil level (see the Oil Level Adjustment of the
Front Fork section in the Maintenance and adjustment chapter).
Front Fork
The fork oil level in the fork tube is adjustable. A change in the fork oil level will not affect the spring force much at the top of fork travel, but it will have a great effect at the bottom:
- When the oil level is raised:
The air spring effect becomes more progressive, and the front fork action feels ¨harder¨in the later stage of travel, near the bottom.

Troubleshooting Improper Settings
Listed below are some symptoms of improper suspension settings and the most likely means of correcting them.
The proper settings can be achieved by applying the information in this chapter in a scientific, methodical manner; this does not mean, however, that you must be a scientist or trained technician to succeed.
Simply take time a think about the changes you believe necessary, check them against the symptoms and cures described here, make the changes in small increments, and take notes on the changes and their effects.
. Rebound or compression damping adjusting incorrect.
Simptoms of the Front Forks
Too hard
- The front forks are too stiff
. Rebound or compression damping adjustment incorrect.
. The springs are too strong.
. Too much oil.
. Too heavy oil.
- The front forks stiffens up the end of stroke
. The fork oil level is too high.
- The front forks operate but ride is too hard
. Oil too heavy.
. Worn out fork oil.
Too soft
- The fron fork dive excessively during braking and deceleration
. Fork oil level is low.
. Springs are too soft.
. Oil too light.
. Fork oil is worn out.
EC FSE 2004 -

Symptoms of the rear shok:
Too hard
- The suspension is too stiff
. Compression damping is too high.
. Spring is too hard.
Too soft
- On landing after a big jump, bottoming occurs (normally O.K.).
. Spring preload is too soft or compression damping is too soft.
. Spring is too soft.
. Shock oil is worn.
Determining the Proper Settings:
- Standard Settings
From the factory, the machine is set up for an intermediate-weight rider possessing intermediate riding ability. Hence, if the actual rider weight is considerably more or less than this, or if his riding experience and ability are much greater or lesser than the intermediate made to put the suspension "in the ballpark".
- Readjustment of the suspension

Softer spring
Harder spring
Riding experience
Beginner Softer: spring with more rebound damping.
Experienced: Harder spring.
Rider's weight
Heavy: Harder spring.
Light: Softer spring.
Front and rear compability:
Use this procedure to determine if the suspension is balanced reasonably well: Hold the bike upright (retract the side stand). While standing next to the machine, lightly pull on the front brake, place one foot on the footpeg closest to you, and push down hard. If the bike maintains its level attitude as the suspension is compressed, the spring rates are well balanced. Sit astride the bike and take a riding posture. Next check to see that the bike is in a horitzontal position. If one end drops noticeably more than the other, the front and rear are not compatible and must be readjusted to achieve a better balance.
This is one of the most effective adjustment procedures but suspension settings will vary depending on the conditions at the track and the rider´s preferences.
Type of course
- Many corners:
Lower the front end slightly (increase the fork tube height 5mm).This
quickes steering and turning ability.
- Fast course with many jumps:
Raise the fornt end slightly (decrease the front tube height 5 mm).
- Deep whoops, or sandy ground:
Raise the front end slightly to gain stability.
fter making such preliminary adjustments, begin the actual on-track testing and evaluation.
Remember:
1- Always make changes in small increments.
2-Make sure the rider is consistent in this evaluation of improper suspension performance.
3- A change in the front suspension might require a change in the rear, and vise versa.
Front end seaching during down hill or during acceleration out of corner:
Front fork is too soft.
1. Increase the compression damping or rebound damping.
2. Increase the oil level 10 mm.
3. Use alternate harder sping, or increase spring preload.
Front end ¨knifes¨or oversteers in turns: (front end tends to turn inward):
Front fork is too soft.
1. Increase the compression damping or rebound damping.
2. Increase the oil level 10 mm.
Front end pushes or ¨washes out¨in turns:
1. Decrease the compression damping or rebound damping.
2. Release the air at the fork tubes.
3. Decrease oil level 10-20 mm.
4. Use softer spring.
EC FSE 2004 -
112
-
Front fork doesn´t respond to small bumps in sweeping turns:
- Front Fork is too hard:
1. Decrease the compression damping or rebound damping.
2. Decrease oil level 10 mm.
3. Use softer duty spring.
Rear end ¨kicks¨when braking over bumps:
The shock probably has too little rebound damping.
- Increase the rebound damping.
Rear tire won´t "hook up" out of corners:
(A lack of traction coming out of turns)
- The shock may be too stiff:
1. Decrease the rear shock spring preload.
2. Decrease the compression damping.
3. Use softer spring (In case of a lightweight rider).
Adjustment depending on bottoming condition:(rear shock
absorber).
- Bottoms at low speed.
- Increase spring preload until maximum preload is achieved.
- Bottom after successive 3 or 4 successive jumps.
- Decrease rebound damping.
NOTE
The rear shock on this machine may mislead some riders.
Front and rear of the bike bottom off high speed jumps:
(If harsh bottoming occurs once or twice per lap of the race)
. Front and rear suspension system are too soft.
1. Delantera: Increase oil lever and/or use harder spring.
2. Rear: Increase spring preload and/or increase compression damping or use harder spring.
NOTE
After any adjustment, check front and rear compatibility.
a) The rear shock bottoms when the spring and damping are overcome by the total weight of the machine and rider (due to full stroke).
b) A bottoming sensation (even through the machine is not bottoming) may actually be the inability of rider and machine weight to overcome an overly stiff spring or excessive damping.
Observe the rear end off jumps; if it doesn´t approach bottoming, try lowering the sping preload and damping.

-
- If the straight portion of a course is longer, the secondary reduction ratio should be reduced so that the machine speed can be increased.
- When the course has many corners or uphills or is wet, the secondary reduction rario should be increased so that gear shifting is possible with smooth acceleration.
- Actually, the speed must be changed depending on the ground condition on the day of race and therefore, be sure to run through the racing circuit prior to a race and set the machine suitable for the entire course.
- If the straight portion of a course on which the machine can be run at maximum speed is longer, the machine should be set so that the maximum machine speed can be developed toward the end of the straight course, but care should be taken not to over-rev the engine.
- It is difficult to set the machine to be best suited for all portions of the circuit. Therefore, determine which circuit portions will have the greatest effect on lap time. Set the machine for these portions.
Confirm your settings by recording lap times after each change. In this way the machine will deliver best performance for the entire circuit.
Special Care According to Track Conditions.
1. In dry, dusty conditions (such as volcanic ash or fine powdery dust) special care must be given to keep the air cleaner element clean.
2. When riding on wet heavy clay the mud adheres to the tires and other parts of the vehicle. The mud can add significantly to the weight of the vehicle and therefore reduce performance. Take care to remove built-up mud from the tires and chassis after each ride, before drying occurs.
EC FSE 2004 -
114
-
3. The engine works hardest in muddy conditions and the radiator can become clogged with mud. Take care not to overheat the engine in these conditions. The engine also works very hard when ridden in deep sand.
4. In muddy or sandy conditions adjust the chain looser than in other conditions as the chain and sprockets will pack with mud/sand and reduce chain slack.
5. Check chain and sprocket wear frequently when riding in mud or sand since wear is increased in these conditions.
6. In dusty conditions as the air cleaner collects dust, the engine runs richer. Therefore it may be advisable to run slightly leaner jetting
(main jet) in very dusty conditions.

STORAGE
When the motorcycle is to be stored for any lenght of time, it should be prepared for storage as follows:
- Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
- Run the engine for about five minutes to warm the oil shut it off and drain the transmission oil.
- Put in fresh trransmission oil.
- Empty the fuel from the fuel tank, and empty the carburetor float bowl. (If left in for a long time, the fuel will deteriorate).
- Remove the spark plug and put several drops of SAE 30 oil into the cylinder. Kick the engine over slowly a few times to coat the cylinder wall with oil, and install the plug.
- Lubricate the drive chain and all the cables.
- Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or in the brakes.
- Set the motorcycle on a box or stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground. (If this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels to keep dampness away from the tire rubber).
- Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe to prevent moisture from entering.
- Put a cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it.
To put the motorcycle back into use after storage.
- Remove plastic bag from exhaust.
- Make sure the spark plug is tight.
- Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
- Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-ride Inspection Section.
- Perform the General lubrication procedure.
