CLUTCH

The position of the lever is controlled through the use of register 1.

Once the position of the lever has been changed, register 2 must be changed to restore the initial correct clearance.

The idle stroke of push rod must not be less than 0.9 mm

ATTENTION: reduced clearance leads to premature wear of the discs and overheating of the entire clutch group.

ADJUSTMENT OF GAS CLEARANCE

The throttle control cable should always have a 3-5 mm play. In addition, the idle speed should not change when the handlebars are fully rotated to the left or right.

To adjust the clearance proceed as follows:

  • Loosen ring 1.
  • Rotate register 2 with respect to sheath 3.
  • Tighten ring 1.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - ADJUSTMENT OF GAS CLEARANCE - 1

ACCELERATOR

ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED

In order to perform this operation correctly, we advise you to do it when the engine is hot, connecting an electric revolution counter to the spark plug wire. Then use a screwdriver on register screw A to calibrate the minimum with 900 ÷ 1000 rpm.

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

The handlebar can be adjusted by rotating it back and forth.

  • To adjust the handlebar loosen screws 1.
  • Position the handlebar according to requirements.
  • Tighten to the torque indicated.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT - 3

ADJUSTING FORK

The hydraulic brake unit in extension determines the behaviour in the extension phase of the fork and can be adjusted using screw 1. Turning clockwise increases the action of the brake in extension, while rotating counterclockwise decreases the action of the brake in extension.

For standard calibration, refer to page 11.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - ADJUSTING FORK - 1

ADJUSTING THE SPRING PRELOAD

Spring preload is adjusted by means of screw 2. Turning clockwise will increase the preload, while rotating counter-clockwise decreases the preload.

For standard calibration, refer to page 11.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - ADJUSTING THE SPRING PRELOAD - 1

SHOCK ABSORBER

The hydraulic brake unit in extension determines the behaviour in the extension phase of the shock absorber and can be adjusted using screw 1. Turning clockwise increases the action of the brake in extension, while rotating counter-clockwise decreases the action of the brake in extension. For standard calibration, refer to page 11.

NOTE: for adjustment use a T-handle wrenches with jointed hexagonal socket.

ADJUSTING THE SPRING PRELOAD

To adjust the spring preload, use the procedure described below.

Loosen counter-ring 1, rotate ring 2 clockwise to increase the spring preload (and consequently the shock absorber preload) or anticlockwise to decrease it.

After obtaining the desired preload, turn counterring 1 until it stops against adjusting ring 2.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The beam is adjusted by changing the inclination of the optical unit by turning the screw 1 and the nut 2.
- Place the vehicle on level ground (but not on the stand) 10 metres from a vertical wall.
Measure the height of the headlight centre above the ground and then draw a cross on the wall at 9/10 of the height of the headlight centre.
- Sit on the motor bike with only the high beam headlight on and check that the headlight beam on the wall is slightly lower than the cross drawn previously. Where this is not the case, proceed to adjustment.
Periodically check the direction of the beam. The beam can only be adjusted vertically.

When adjustment is complete, make sure that nut 2 is fully tightened towards the instrument support.

If contact occurs with skin, immediately clean contaminated areas with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that is contaminated with fuel.

WARNING:

Environmental pollution hazard!

The fuel must not contaminate the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.

FLOAT LEVEL CHECK

Remove the carburetor from the vehicle after following the procedure for emptying the carburetor bowl.

Remove the bowl and place the carburetor as in the figure.

Start turn it in anticlockwise direction and stop immediately when the float Assy closes the fuel valve needle.

The float level is correct if the plan surface over the float assy is parallel to the float chamber division plan. See the two red lines in the picture.

ATTENTION: It's important to avoid putting carburetor in vertical position, otherwise the weight of the float assy compresses the spring into the fuel valve needle and the position will look incorrect.

Replace the bowl to the carburetor.

Reassemble the carburetor to the vehicle, making sure to tighten the metal clamps on the sleeves.

To verify device, contact authorised Betamotor customer service.

TYRES

Only fit tyres approved by BETAMOTOR.

Unsuitable tyres can adversely affect the road holding of the vehicle.

  • To protect your safety, immediately replace any damaged tyres.
  • Slick tyres adversely affect the road holding of the vehicle, especially on wet roads and in off-road riding.
    Insufficient pressure results in abnormal wear and overheating of the tyres.
    The front and rear tyres must have the same tread design.
  • Always measure the inflating pressures when the tyres are cold.
  • Keep the tyre pressures within the prescribed range.

CHAIN

Checking the drive chain periodically to ensure longer chain life. Always keep it lubricated and clean of deposited dirt.

Take special care in preventing the lubricant from coming into contact with the rear tyre or brake disc, otherwise the tyre grip and the action of the brake would be greatly reduced, making it very difficult to control the vehicle.

CLEANING THE VEHICLE

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - GENERAL PRECAUTIONS - 1

WARNING: Do not clean your vehicle with a high-pressure device with a strong jet of water. Excessive pressure can reach electrical components, connectors, flexible cables, bearings, etc and can damage or destroy them.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - GENERAL PRECAUTIONS - 2

WARNING: Wash motorbikes frequently with cold water that are used near the sea (salty air) and on roads subject to salt spreading in winter. Cover with a film of oil or silicone spray unpainted parts and the most exposed parts such as wheels, forks and swingarm. Do not treat rubber parts and brakes.

When cleaning, avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Close off the exhaust system to prevent water from entering.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - GENERAL PRECAUTIONS - 3

Avoid directing the jet of water onto the air filter box cover and the carburettor.

WASHING MODE

Use water jet to soften the dirt and mud accumulated on the paintwork, then remove them with a soft bodywork sponge soaked in water and shampoo. Subsequently rinse well with water, and dry with air and cloth or suede leather.

Detergents pollute water. Always wash the vehicle in areas equipped for collection and purification of the washing liquids.

AFTER WASHING

Proceed to the emptying of the filter box using the appropriate ventilation and drying.

After cleaning, ride a short distance until the engine reaches operating temperature.

WARNING: braking effect is reduced with wet brakes. Operate the brakes cautiously to allow them to dry.

Push back the handlebar control covers, so that water can evaporate.

When the bike is completely dry and cooled down, lubricate all moving parts.

Treat all plastic and painted components with non-aggressive detergents or products that are specific for the care of the motorcycle.

To prevent malfunction of the electrical system, treat electric contacts and switches with electrical contact spray.

Beta EVO 300 SS (2018) - AFTER WASHING - 3

ATTENTION: any oxidation of electrical contacts may result in serious malfunctioning.

PROLONGED INACTIVITY

A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter):

  • Thoroughly clean the vehicle.
  • Reduce the tyre pressures by approximately 30 percent, and if possible raise the tyres off the ground.
  • Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Make the engine turn a few times by operating the kick-start (where available) and then replace the spark plug.
  • Cover the unpainted parts, excepting the brakes and the rubber parts, with a film of oil or spray silicone.
  • Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.
  • Drain the carburetor tank as described at page 42.

AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY

  • Restore the tyre inflating pressures.
  • Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.
