It is recommended that the rubber seal should be checked thoroughly to insure it is airtight.

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Use gasoline with an octane rating equal to or higher than that shown in the table.

OCTANE RATING METHOD MINIUM

RATING

Antiknock Index (RON+MON)/2 90

Research Octane No. (RON) 98

NOTE

If knocking or pinging occurs, try a different brand of gasoline or higher octane grade.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Mixing oil inside the engine

Oil must be mixed with gasoline to lubricate the piston, cylinder, crankshaft, and connecting rod bearings.

-11-

Recommended oil:

2-CYCLE SYNTHETIC

NOTE

If the recommended oil is not available, use only oil designed for racing with 2-cycle engines.

Gasoline and engine oil mixing proportions:

Synthetic oil 100%: gasoline 50, engine oil 1 = 2%

Semi-synthetic oil: gasoline 50, engine oil 1 = 2%

Mineral oil: gasoline 32, engine oil 1 = 3%

CAUTION

Do not mix vegetable and mineral based oils.

Too much oil will cause excessive smoking and spark plug fouling.

Too little oil will cause engine damage or premature wear.

CAUTION

Below 0 ºC do not use 100% synthetic oil.

To prepare the mixture, first pour oil and half of the gasoline used into a container and stir the mixture thoroughly. Then add the rest of the gasoline and stir the mixture well .

NOTE

At low temperature, oil will not easily mix with gasoline. Take time to ensure a well-blended mixture.

The lubrication quality of this mixture deteriorates rapidly; use a fresh mixture for each day of operation.

SERIAL NUMBER (A)

It is stamped on the steering pipe. It indicates the frame number registered for this motorcycle.

HOMOLOGATION PLATE (B)

STOPPING THE MOTORCYCLE

For maximum deceleration, close the throttle (A) and apply both front and rear brakes. Disengage the clutch as the motorcycle comes to a stop. Independent use of the front or rear brake may be advantageous under certain conditions.

Downshift progressively as speed is reduced to ensure good engine response when you want to accelerate.

(A)

RIDING DURING THE BREAK-IN PERIOD

A break-in period is necessary to ensure a smooth operation and obtain an optimum engine and the transmission responses. During the first hour or 20 km of operation, run the engine at low and moderate speeds and revolutions per minute (RPM).

NOTE

The slow riding necessary during the break-in period may cause carbon deposits to build up on the spark plug and foul it. If

14 inspection of the spark plug shows this to be the case, replace the standard spark plug with another of a higher heat range.

Perform the break-in period following these steps:

1.

Start the engine and let it run at idle until the engine is warm.

2. Stop and let the engine cool completely.

3. Start the engine and ride for 10 minutes at moderate speed -

NEVER ACCELERATE HARD.

4. Stop and let the engine cool completely. Be sure to check and adjust chain slack and spoke tightness and cxarry out a general inspection.

5. Start the engine and ride for 20 minutes at moderate speed. -

NEVER ACCELERATE HARD.

6. Stop and let the engine cool completely. Check and adjust as needed (Refer to the table of adjustments).

7. Install the parts removed.

8. Fill the radiator with the recommended coolant. Before starting the motorcycle, bleed the air from the cooling system.

9. Start the engine and ride for 30 minutes at moderate speed.

10. Stop and let the engine cool completely. Check and adjust.

11. After the break-in procedure has been properly carried out, the motorcycle is ready for regular operation.

CAUTION

However, avoid accelerating recklessly that can lead to engine failure.

Be careful to use the necessary skills and techniques while operating the motorcycle.

NOTE

After the break-in period, install a new set of standard spark plugs.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION

This motorcycle uses a capacitor discharge ignition system (CDI).

The ignition system should never require adjustment unless the stator of the magnetic flywheel was incorrectly installed during engine reassembly.

If necessary, inspect and adjust as follows:

Adjustment

- Remove the magnetic flywheel cover (A) .

- Make sure that the mark on the stator plate is aligned with the mark on the crankcase.

(A)

- If the marks are not aligned, loosen the magnetic inertia wheel

screws and turn it.

- Tighten the screws securely.

- Install the magnetic flywheel cover.

NOTE

Engine tune-up can be adjusted to match the rider´s preferences and skills.

- Remove the magnetic flywheel cover.

- Loosen the stator screws.

- Adjust the engine tune-up by changing the position of the stator

within prudent limits

NOTE

For the best engine performance, it is very important to adjust the engine tune-up within the set of limits described.

- Tighten the stator screws.

- Install the magnetic flywheel cover.

- Test ride the motorcycle and readjust the engine tune-up, if

necessary.

COOLING SYSTEM

Radiator Hoses

Check the radiator hoses for cuts or deterioration, and the connections for looseness and leaks.

Radiator

Check the radiator fins for obstructions (insects or mud). Remove any obstructions with a stream of low water pressure.

17 -

CAUTION

If high water pressure is used the radiator fins could be damaged and impair the radiator effectiveness.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through the radiator by installing unauthorized accessories. Any interference with the radiator airflow can lead to engine overheating and damage.

Coolant information

To protect the cooling system aluminum parts (engine and radiator) from rust and corrosion, the use of corrosion and rust inhibitors chemicals in the coolant is essential. If rust inhibitors were not used, over a period of time the radiator will be corroded. This will clog the tubes of the cooling system.

CAUTION

Use of incorrect coolant solutions will cause 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

Chemical liquids are harmful to the human body. Follow manufacturer instructions.

CAUTION

Distilled water must be used with corrosion inhibitors and the antifreeze in the cooling system. If tap water is used in the system, the cooling tubes can be clogged and reduce the cooling system efficiency.

18 -

If the lowest ambient temperature encountered falls below the freezing point of water, protect the cooling system. Use a permanent type of antifreeze in the cooling system (distilled water and ethylene glycol and corrossion inhibitors for aluminium engines and radiators).

For the coolant mixture ratio under extreme conditions, choose the mixture ratio listed on the container for the lowest ambient temperature.

CAUTION

Permantent types of antifreeze have anticorrosion and anti-rust properties. When it is diluted excessively, it loses its antifreeze and anticorrosion properties. Mix in accordance with the instructions of manufacturer.

Liquid recommended

Permanent type of antifreeze (distilled water and ethylene glycol) plus corrossion inhibitors for aluminium engines and radiators.

NOTE

Initially, at the factory a permanent type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system. It is colored green, it contains a 50% solution of ethylene glycol, and has a freezing point of –35 ºC.

Coolant recommended

Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to the air at the radiator. If the coolant level is low, the engine overheats and may suffer severe damage. Check the coolant level each day before riding the motorcycle. Add liquid recommended if the level is low (see next page).

WARNING

To prevent severe scalding do not remove the radiator cap or try to change liquid, when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools.

Coolant level

- Place the motorcycle in riding position.

- Turn the radiator cap (A) counterclockwise and wait a few seconds until vapors inside are released. Then push and turn it further in the same direction and remove the cap.

Total quantity

Mix antifreeze and distilled water 1:1 (distilled water 50%, antifreeze

50%).

Capacity: 1.1 L

Coolant Replacement

Coolant should be changed periodically to ensure long engine life.

- Wait for the engine to cool completely.

- Place the motorcycle in riding position.

- Remove the radiator cap.

- Place a container under the coolant drain screw, and drain the coolant from the radiator and engine by removing the drain screw

(B) at the bottom of the water pump cover (A). Wash off immediately any coolant spilled on the chassis, engine, or wheels.

(A)

NOTE: Check the level when the engine is cold.

- Check the coolant level. The coolant level should be just at a level below de cap rubber seal.

- If the coolant level is low, add the correct amount of coolant through the filler opening.

19 -

(B) (A)

WARNING

If coolant gets on the tires will make them very slippery and can cause an accident.

- Visually inspect the old coolant. If whitish spots are observed in the liquid is a clear indication that the aluminum parts in the cooling system are corroded. If the coolant is brown, iron or steel parts of the system are rusting. In both cases, flush the cooling system.

- Check the cooling system for damage, leaks or missing gaskets in the cooling system.

- Install the water pump cover drain screw with the specified torque values shown in the table. Always replace the gasket with a new one.

Drain plug tightening torque (refer to torque table)

Water pump screw: 9 Nm

- Fill the radiator up to the edge of the cap with coolant, and install the radiator cap.

- Inspoect the cooling system for leaks.

- Start and warm up the engine, then stop the engine.

- Check the coolant level after the engine cools down. Add coolant up to the cap.

SPARK PLUG

The standard spark plug is a shown in the table and should be tightened to 27 Nm.

20 -

Standard Spark Plug

125 cc Denso W27ESR-U 0.7-0.8 mm OR NGK BR9EG

The spark plug should be removed periodically to check its gap. If the plug is oily or has carbon deposits, clean it with a sandblaster.

After removing the abrasive particles, the spark plug must be cleaned using a wire brush or a similar tool. Measure the gap with a feeler gauge, if incorrect adjust the gap by bending the side electrode. If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged, or if insulator is cracked, replace the plug.

NOTE

Inspect every 30 hours and change every 60 hours.

To find out whether the right heat range plug is being used, remove it and inspect the ceramic insulator around the center electrode. If the ceramic is light brown, the spark plug is correctly matched to engine temperature. If the ceramic is whie, the spark plug should be replaced with the next colder plug. If the ceramic is black, the spark plug should be replaced with the next hotter plug.

NOTE

If the engine performance drops, replace the spark plug first to recover its output.

TRANSMISSION

For the transmission and clutch to function properly, maintain the transmission oil level at the optimum level and change it periodically.

A motorcycle with insufficient transmission oil, deteriorated or contaminated can accelerate wear and tear and cause transmission damages.

Oil level inspection

- Wait a few minutes if the motorcycle has been operating.

(A)

- Check the oil level through the inspection window in the lower right hand side of the engine (A).

- Oil level must be kept between the maximum and minimum marks.

(B)

- If the lever is too high, you have to remove the excess oil through the drain plug (B).

- If the level is low, add the necessary quantity of oil by opening the plug (C) . Use the same type and oil manufacturer used currently with the engine.

Transmission Oil Viscosity: SAE 10W30

Capacity: 750 cc (EC 125)

21 -

Oil change

NOTE

The engine must be completely cool and then warm up the engine again for a few minutes to normal operating temperature, to register the correct engine oil temperature and to obtain an accurate oil level measurement.

- The transmission oil should be changed periodically to ensure long engine life.

- Warm up the engine for 5 minutes so any oil sediment will float.

- Stop the engine, and place an oil pan under the engine.

- Remove the drain screw (see previous photo) and place the motorcycle in riding position to allow the oil to drain out.

- Clean the drain screw magnet of any iron particles.

- Tighten the oil drain screw with its O-ring to 20-Nm.

- Remove the oil filler opening plug (C) and pour 900 cc of new transmission 750 cc for model 125cc.

- Check the oil level, after kicking the kick-start pedal 3 or 4 times.

- Install the oil filler opening plug.

(C)

AIR CLEANER

A clogged air cleaner restricts the engine air intake, increasing fuel consumption, reducing engine power, and causing spark plug fouling.

WARNING

A clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust to enter the carburetor and stick the throttle open. This could cause an accident.

A clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust to enter the engine causing excessive wear and tear and other damages.

Do not omit checking the element, before and after each race or practice session. Clean it if necessary.

Element Cleaning

WARNING

Clean the element in a well-ventilated area, and make sure that there are no sparks or flame anywhere near the working area (this includes any appliance with a pilot light). Do not use gasoline to clean the element because could cause an explosion.

To access the air filter, remove the seat by removing the bolt that secures it.

(A) - Remove the cover.

- Remove the screw

(A) and remove the

filter (B).

(B)

22 -

Drive Chain Slack Inspection

The space between the chain and the swingarm at the same height of the chain slider should be 30-50 mm. Rotate the rear wheel to find the place where the chain is tighter. Adjust the drive chain if it has too much or too little slack.

DRIVE CHAIN GUIDE

The drive chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated in accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. If the chain is worn or adjusted incorrectly (either too loose or too tight) the chain could become loose or break. Replace the chain, if necessary.

WARNING

A chain that breaks or becomes loose could snag on the engine or on the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing it to go out of control

30 - 50 mm

25-

In addition to checking the slack, rotate the rear wheel to inspect for damaged rollers, loose pin and links, unevenly or excessively worn teet, and damaged teeth.

Drive Chain Slack Adjustment

- Loosen the rear axle nut (A) .

- Turn the nuts on the chain adjusting tensors (B) until the drive chain has a gap of 30-50 mm between the chain and the swing arm. To keep the chain and wheel aligned, the left chain tensor should aligned with the right chain tensor.

(B)

(A)

WARNING

Misalignment of the wheel will result in abnormal wear and may cause an unsafe riding condition.

NOTE

Wheel alignment can also be checked using the string metod.

26 -

- Tighten the chain tensor nuts (B) .

- Tighten rear axle nut to 98 Nm.

- Rotate the wheel, measure the chain slack again at the tightest position, and readjust if necessary.

WARNING

If the axle nut is not securely tightened an unsafe riding condition may result.

Drive chain, chain guide, chain slider, and rear sprocket teeth.

When the chain is 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 output pinion and rear sprocket teeth, and replace them if necessary. Worn sprocket teeth will cause a new chain to wear quickly.

NOTE

When a part ir worn, replace it with a genuine part for maximum resistance and safety.

To minimize any chance of the master link coming apart, the master link clip must be installed with the closed end of the «U» facing in the direction of the chain rotation.

Brake fluid

Inspect the brake fluid level and change it periodically. The brake fluid should also be changed if it becomes contaminated with dirt or water .

Liquid recommended

Use D.O.T 3 or D.O.T 4.

Brake fluid level inspection

The front (A) and rear (B) reservoirs must be kept more than half full with brake fluid. If the brake fluid is insufficient, add brake fluid.

CAUTION

Do not spill brake fluid onto any painted surface. Do not use fluid from a container that has been left open or that has been unsealed for a long time. Check for fluid leakage around the fittings. Check for brake hose damage.

WARNING

Do not mix different types of fluid. Change the brake fluid in the reservoirs completely if the same type of brake fluid is not available.

Brake wear inspection

If the thickness of either pad, front and rear, is less than 1 mm, replace both pads as a set. Pad replacement should be carried out only by an authorized GAS GAS dealer.

STEERING

The steering should always be kept adjusted so that the handlebar will turn freely but without free play.

-29 -

To check the steering adjustment use a stand under the chassis, and lift the motorcycle off the ground. Move the handlebar lightly to either side; if the handlebar continues moving under its own momentum, the steering is not too tight. Squatting in front of the motorcycle, grasp the lower end of the front fork (at the axle), and push and pull the fork (as shown on the previous photo); if free play is felt, the steering is too loose.

If the steering needs adjustment

- Use a stand or a special support to stabilize the motorcycle.

- Raise the front wheel off the ground.

- Remove the handlebar (A) by loosening the handlebar holder screws and removing the upper holders.

(A). Steering lock.

CAUTION

Never leave the key in the latch. If the steering is turned to the left with the key inerted in the latch it will be severely damaged.

FRONT FORK

The front fork should always be adjusted for the rider´s weight and road conditions. The adjustments must be performed in 4 steps:

- Air pressure: Air pressure affects the fork travel. The air pressure increases as the fork heats up, in other words it varies as a function of time of operation. We do not recommend using air pressure, because the suspension has been designed to work without air pressure.

- Rebound and compression dampening adjustment: Turn the adjusting screws clockwise to increase damping, turn it counterclockwise to reduce damping.

- 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 faster. The lower the oil level is the fork rebound will be slower.

- Fork spring: Optional springs are available that are softer and stiffer than standard. There is also the possibility to adjust the spring preload.

Air Pressure

The standard air pressure in the fork is atmospheric air pressure.

The air pressure increases as the fork heats up, because of this the fork action becomes harder.

- Using a stand under the frame, and stabilize the motorcycle.

- Place a support under the engine so that the front wheel is raised off the ground.

- Remove the purge screw (A) at the top of the front fork to bleed the air out.

Rebound Dampening Adjustment

- To adjust the rebound, turn and tighten the adjuster screw (B) located at the top of the front fork.

- Adjust the rebound to suit the rider’s preference under determined conditions.

REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension is composed of the shock absorber, swingarm, linkages and torque rod.

Generally speaking, the operating characteristics are similar to the front fork. But its unique characteristic is that it has, besides the shock absorber, an articulated quadrilateral composed of the linkages and torque rod.

To match various riding condition types, the shock absorber spring can be adjusted or replaced with an optional one. Also the dampening force can be easily adjusted, this feature makes it unnecessary to change oil viscosity.

WARNING

Improper installation of the rear shock absorber spring may cause the spring and any of its related parts to be ejected at high velocity.

Always wear eye and face protection. The installation of these parts should be performed by an authorized dealer.

WHEELS

Tires

- Tire pressure affects traction, and tire life.

- Adjust the tire pressure to match road conditions and rider’s preference, but do not stray too far from the recommended pressure.

NOTE

Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold before riding.

Road conditions

- When the road is wet, muddy, sandy or slippery, reduce the tire pressure.

- On gravel roads or hard terrain, increase the tire pressure.

Spokes and wheel rims

The spokes on both wheels must be tightened evenly and should not be allowed to have free play. Unevenly tightened or loose spokes will cause wheel rim runout, the other spokes will be stressed and might break.

Wheel rim runout

Place a dial indicator at the rim side, and spin the wheel by hand to measure the axial runout.

Place the dial indicator at the inner circumference of the wheel and spin the wheel, the difference between the highest and lowest quantities is the runout.

If the runout is not excesive it can be corrected tightening or loosening some spokes with the spoke adjusting wrench (B) . If the wheel rim is curved or bent it must be replaced.

NOTE

A welded area on the rim may indicate excessive runout.

Disregard this when measuring rim runout.

Before washing the motorcycle, precautions must be taken to prevent water from entering the following parts of the motorcycle.

Exhaust : Cover it with a plastic bag tightened with rubber bands.

Clutch and brake levers, hand grips, and engine stop button:

Cover these parts with plastic bags.

Air cleaner intake: Cover the opening with tape or with a rag.

2- Where to be careful

Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following areas:

- Brake calipers and brake pump piston.

- Ignition coil or into the spark plug cap.

- Front and rear wheel hubs.

- Steering bearings.

- Rear suspension system.

- Swingarm bearings.

CAUTION

To avoid excessive ageing of the plastic parts and other washable pieces of the motorcycle, it is suggested that these items must be washed carefully. If the washer applies water at high pressure and/or temperature, take the precaution of maintaining the washer outlet gun at a distance of 30 centimeters minimum, this will ensure the correct gloss of the plastics and maintain adherence of the selfadhesive labels that decorate the motorcycle.

3- After washing

- Remove the plastic bags, and clean the air cleaner intake.

- Lubricate the points listed in the lubrication section (see pag. 40).

- Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes.

- Check the brakes before operating the motorcycle.

Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubricate the drive chain after driving on wet terrein or when the chain looks dry. A high viscosity oil is preferred rather than a lower viscosity because it will stick to the chain longer and lubricate the chain better.

Apply oil to the sides of the chain rollers (A) for better oil penetration.

Wipe off any excess oil.

NOTE

The main jet should be increased or decreased 1 to 5 sizes and tested until the engine gives maximum power.

Idling nozzle and mixture adjustment screw

Controls the mixture from the closed position to an opening of 1/8 of throttle range, but has little effect on full throttle. To adjust the mixture in this range, the air screw can be turned to change the air flow through the circuit, or the slow jet can be changed to provide more or less fuel. Start by turning the air screw. Screwing it in richens the mixture. The air screw must be turned from a lightly seated position. Make changes in 1/2 turn increments. If turning the screw between 1 and 2.5 turns does not give the desired results, change the slow jet (B) one step and tune up with the air screw (A) .

(A)

Carburetor jet needle

The jet needle and jet needle hole together have their greatest effect in the one-half throttle range. The needle moves in and out of the jet needle hole; since the needle is tapered, its position in the jet determines the amount of fuel allowed to flow.

There are five grooves in the upper section of the needle where a circlip fits. This clip locates the needle in the throttle valve and determines its relative position in the jet needle hole, and provides a rich mixture. Moving the clip to the top will provide a lean mixture.

Change the clip position one step at a time. The straight area of the needle affects throttle valve response in the small openings range.

Test runs with the motorcycle

- Warm up the engine with the carburetor at the standard setting, and inspect the operating conditions of the spark plug.

- Test-ride the motorcycle with the throttle opened.

Symptoms of improper settings

If your motorcycle exhibits one of the following symptoms the changes must be adjusted. Before attempting any changes, make sure that everything else is in good operating condition.

Check the condition of the spark plug, make sure the ingnition timing is correct, service the air cleaner element, decarbonize the exhaust tube

If you machine has run properly up to this point, it is possible that the problem is elsewhere; changing the carburetor settings in such a case would probably be a waste of time.

- Set the carburetor so that the engine delivers satisfactory power with the throttle valve opened.

- If the air-fuel mixture is too lean, the engine tends to overheat and may be seized. On the other hand, if it is too rich, the spark plug easily gets wet and causes misfires. The proper mixture varies depending on atmospheric conditions. Taking these conditions into consideration, adjust the carburetor settings properly.

Correction factors:

(For altitude or temperature changes).

1.

Find the correction factor to adjust the carburetor.

Example: 1000 meters altitude with an air temperature of 35°C. The correction factor is 0.94.

2.

Using the correction factor, select the correct slow jet and main jet.

Example: For a correction factor of 0.94 multiply the jet size by that number.

Main jet: # 180 x 0.94 = # 170.

3. Find the correction factor on the Jet Needle / Air Screw chart and change the jet needle clip position and air screw opening as indicated.

- Jet needle clip setting: from the 3rd groove to the 2nd groove.

- Air screw opening: 1 1/2 + 1 turn = 2 1/2 turns out.

NOTE

For the following recommendations to be accurate, you must use the standard settings as a base-line. Also do not change any of the settings until you have determined what changes are necessary. All specifications are based on the use of the fuel and oil specified.

2. SUSPENSION TUNE-UP

This adjustment is very critical because if an improperly tuned suspension will keep even the best rider from attaining the full benefit of his machine´s ability. Check the suspension in accordance to the rider and the terrain conditions.

- If the motorcycle is new, break-in the suspension with at least one hour of riding before making any setting evaluations or changes.

- The three factors which must be considered are rider’s weight, rider’s ability, and terrain conditions (additional influences include the rider´s style and position on the motorcycle).

- If you have a problem, test by changing your riding posture or position so it can be deduced.

- Adjust the suspension to match the rider´s strong points. If he is 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 recognizing the effects of his input; such things as changes in rider position and increasing fatigue may lead to incorrect judgments about necessary setting adjustments.

- When the proper settings have been determined for a particular terrain, the settings should be written down for later reference when returning to the same type of terrain.

- Before making any changes and also every 5 fill-ups, lubricate the swingarm bearings, torque rod, linkages and O-rings, this precaution will prevent excesive friction that can affect the suspension performance.

Front fork

The oil level is adjustable. A change in the oil level will not affect the lower part of travel, but it will have an affect on the upper part of travel:

45 -

- When the oil level is raised:

The spring effects become more progressive, and the front fork action feels harder at the end of travel.

If the front suspension is making jounce stops, raise the oil level 10 mm. This increase will provoke a change in upper part of travel of the spring.

- When the oil level is lowered:

The spring effects are less progressive, and the front fork action does not become hard at the end of travel.

- Change the oil level correctly and the fork will work more at the end of fork travel.

Oil level adjustment

Adjust the front fork oil level (refer to the maintenance chart).

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 manner. Take time to think about the changes you believe necessary, check them against the symptoms and cures described here, and make the changes in small increments, and take notes on the changes and their effects.

Symptoms of the front fork

- The front fork is too stiff:

1. Incorrect rebound adjustment.

2. The springs are too hard.

3. Too much oil.

4. Oil too dense.

- The fork becomnes hard at the end of travel:

1. The oil level is too high.

- The fork operates but slides hard:

1. Oil too dense.

2. Degraded fork oil.

- Too soft:

The fork shakes excessively when slowing down or applying brakes

1. Fork oil level is low.

2. Springs are too soft.

3. Oil too light.

4. Degraded fork oil.

5. Incorrect rebound or compression.

Symptoms of the rear shock absorber:

- Too hard:

1. The suspension is too stiff

• Compression damping is too high.

• Spring is too hard.

2. Is hard to ride

• Unbalanced condition between the spring and rebound

(too low).

3. The spring is hard or preloaded too much

- Too soft:

On landing after a big jump, the suspension makes jounce stops.

1. Soft spring or compression damping is too soft.

2. Degraded shock absorber oil

Determining the proper settings:

- Standard Settings

From the factory, the machine is set up for an average-weight rider with average riding abilities. Hence, if the actual rider’s weight or if his riding experience and abilities are considerably superior or below the average, ii is necessary to make adjustments to the suspension.

- Readjustment of the suspension:

Smooth

Rough

Ground surface

Soft spring

Hard spring

46 -

Riding experience

Beginner: Soft spring with rebound.

Experienced: Harder spring.

Rider's weight

Heavy: Hard spring.

Light: Soft spring.

Type of racing circuit

- Many corners:

Lower the front end slightly (Raise the fork tubes 5 mm).This increases agility.

- Fast course with many jumps:

Raise the fornt end slightly (Lower the fork tubes 5 mm).

- Deep potholes or sandy ground:

Raise the front end slightly to gain stability.

After making such preliminary adjustments, begin the actual on-track testing and evaluation.

CAUTION

1- Make changes one step at a time.

2- Make sure the rider is consistent in this evaluation.

3- A change in the front suspension requires a change in the rear,

and vice versa.

47 -

Front and rear compatibility:

Use this procedure to determine if the suspension is balanced. Place the motorcycle upright. While standing next to the right side of the motorcycle, hold the front brake and press the rear brake pedal firmly.

If the motorcycle maintains its level attitude as the suspension is compressed, the spring rates are well balanced. Sit astride the motorcycle and take a riding posture. Next check to see that the motorcycle is in a horizontal 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 terrain and the rider´s preferences.

Does the motorcycle skids when driving down hill or when accelerating out of a curve?

Front fork is too soft.

1. Increase the compression or rebound damping.

2. Increase the oil level 10 mm.

3. Use a harder spring, or increase spring preload.

Does the front end tends to turn inward?

Front fork is too soft.

1. Increase the compression or rebound damping.

2. Increase the oil level 10 mm.

Does the front end slips when entering in a curve?

1. Decrease the compression or rebound damping.

2. Bleed air trapped in the fork.

3. Decrease the oil level 10-20 mm.

4. Use a softer spring.

Does the front fork fails to respond to small potholes while managing wide turns?

Front Fork is hard:

1. Decrease the compression or rebound damping.

2. Decrease the oil level 10 mm.

3. Use softer duty spring.

Does the rear end jumps when braking over potholes?:

The shock absorber probably has too little rebound damping.

- Increase the rebound damping.

Does the rear tire lacks traction when coming out of corners?:

- The shock absorber is too hard:

1. Decrease the rear shock absorber spring.

2. Decrease the compression damping.

3. Use a softer spring.

Does it land on the front wheel in high speed jumps?:

(there may be a problem with the driver’s posture)

Rebound damping too soft or hard spring.

1. Increase the rebound damping.

2. Decrease the shock absorber spring preload.

3. Decrease the compression damping.

Does the suspension jounce stops at front and rear of the motorcycle in high speed jumps?:

(If this occurs 1 or 2 times in the same lap of the race)

Front and rear suspension system are too soft:

1. Front : Increase the oil lever and / or use a harder spring.

2. Rear: Increase compression damping or use a harder spring.

NOTE

After any adjustment, check front and rear compatibility.

48 -

Adjustments that depend on the conditions of the jounce stops

(rear shock absorber).

- Suspension jounce stops at low speed, increase the spring preload to the maximum setting.

- Jounce stops after 3 or 4 successive jumps, decrease the rebound damping.

NOTE

The rear shock absorber due to its setting possibilities may mislead some riders.

a) The rear shock absorber does not jounce stop when the spring is correct for the total weight of the machine and rider.

b) A jounce stop sensation of the shock absorber may be caused by the rider’s inexperience in riding a machine with a harder spring.

Observe the rear end while it jumps; if it does not approach the stopper, try lowering the sping preload.

Gearshift

Select the ratio development. Preconditions:

Race conditions: vary the transmission replacing the rear pinion.

Fast race: use pinions with less teeths.

Winding road or soft or sandy uphill surface: use pinions with more teeths.

- If the straight portion of the course is long, the ratio development can be extended and due to this the speed increases.

- When the course has many corners or uphills or is wet, the ratio development will be reduced so that gear shifting is possible at low speed.

- Actually, the speed can be changed depending on the terrain conditions on the day of the 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 long, the motorcycle should be set so that the maximum machine speed can be developed towards the end of the straight course, but care should be taken not to over-rev the engine.

- It is very difficult to adjust the motorcycle to be best setting for all portions of the circuit. Therefore, determine which circuit portions will have the greatest effect on lap time and set the motorcycle for these portions. In this manner the motorcycle will deliver best performance for the entire circuit.

Special care according to the terrain conditions.

1. In dry, dusty conditions special care must be given to keep the air cleaner element clean since it accumulates dirt and the engine operates too “rich”.

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 so that the engine is not overheated. The same applies when driving in deep sand.

3. In muddy or sandy conditions loosen the drive chain slack to release its tension.

4. Check chain and sprocket - pinion wear frequently when riding in mud or sand since wear is increased under these conditions.

Where parts are replaced, ownership of the parts removed shall pass to GG without any other consideration. The GG authorised dealer, to whom the making good of the defects has been entrusted, is not authorised to make any declarations that are binding on

GG.

2.- In case of doubt regarding the existence of a defect, or a visual or material inspection is required, GG reserves the right to demand the return of the parts which are the object of a claim under Warranty, or to arrange an inspection of the defect by an expert from GG. Any additional obligations arising out of guarantees on parts replaced free of charge, or any other service rendered free of charge, are excluded from the effects of this present warranty. The Warranty on parts replaced within the Warranty Period will end at the expiry date for the Warranty Period of the product concerned.

3.- Should it prove to be the case that a defect can not be repaired, the purchaser guaranteed shall have the right to the cancellation of the contract (payment of compensation) or a partial refund of the purchase price (discount), instead of repairing the motorcycle.

4.- Any claims against Warranty by the purchaser under the terms of the sale contract with the corresponding authorised dealer shall not be affected by the terms of this present Warranty. Neither will this present Warranty affect those additional contractual rights acquired by the purchaser under the general commercial terms and conditions of the authorised dealer.

However, such additional rights may only be exercised through claims against the authorised dealer.

5.- Should the purchaser resell the product within the Warranty Period, the duration and conditions of the present Warranty will remain unaltered, in such a way as that the rights to make claims under the present Warranty in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this present document shall be transferred to the new owner of the motorcycle.
