To close the fuel tank’s cap, set it on the tank and crew it clockwise. For the type of oil mixture refer to the “Rec- ommended fluids and lubricants” table.

The refuelling should be performed with the engine off.

Fire hazard. Fuel is highly flammable. Always stop the engine when refuelling and keep open flames and lighted cigarettes away. Do not top up fuel while using a mobile phone. Refuel in an open well ventilated area. Pay special attention so that the fuel does not come into contact with hot parts of the vehicle. Immediately clean up any spilled fuel.

WARNING: Risk of poisoning.

Fuel is poisonous liquid and a health hazard. Fuel must not come into contact with the skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not breathe in the fuel vapours. If contact occurs with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If contact occurs with skin, immedi- ately 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.2 OPERATION

STARTUP Set the fuel tank tap to ON or RES (see page 18). - Check that the gears are in neutral (page 20). - Pull the clutch lever (page 18).Pull the clutch lever (page 18). (page 18). KICKSTART (page 20): depress the kick-starter with a sharp move- ment of the foot. ATTENTION Once the pedal has been de- pressed, release it immediately. This avoids jolts to the entire ignition group and to the foot. COLD STARTING: actuate the starter by pulling it upwards (page 18), start the engine, wait a few seconds, then return the lever to its original position. ENGINE SHUT-DOWN To shut-down the engine: - press the button on the right switch unit (see page 19) (see page 19)

NOTE: With the engine stopped, always set the fuel tap to OFF (page 18).3 ADJUSTMENTS

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. 0,9 mm

CLEARANCE The throttle control cable should always have a 3-5 mm play. In addition, the idle speed should not change when the han- dlebars 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.

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 cali- brate 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.3 ADJUSTMENTS

DAMPER The hydraulic brake unit in extension determines the behaviour in the extension phase of the fork and can be adjusted us- ing 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.

DAMPER The hydraulic brake unit in extension deter- mines 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 stand- ard calibration, refer to page 11. NOTE: for adjustment use a T-handle wrenches with jointed hexagonal socket.

PRELOAD Spring preload is adjusted by means of screw 2. Turning clockwise will increase the preload, while rotating counter- clock- wise decreases the preload. For standard calibration, refer to page 11.

PRELOAD To adjust the spring preload, use the pro- cedure described below. Loosen counter-ring 1, rotate ring 2 clock- wise to increase the spring preload (and consequently the shock absorber preload) or anticlockwise to decrease it. After obtaining the desired preload, turn counter-ring 1 until it stops against adjust- ing ring 2. For standard calibration, refer to page 11. NOTE: for movement of the rings use a specific sector key with square pin. ATTENTION! Do not move the screw 3 under any circumstances.

• 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.

Keep the vehicle in vertical position relative to the ground. When engine is cold check the oil level by means of porthole 1. The oil level must be always visible from the porthole. In contrary case restore the oil level through filler cap 2. Use the liquid indicated on page 16 in the “Recommended lubricants and liquids” table. REPLACEMENT Always perform the replacement when engine is hot: - Position the drive on a flat base ensuring stability - Place a container under the engine - Unscrew the filler cap 1 and the drain plug 2 - Completely empty the crankcase - Close the cap 2 - Introducing the quantity of liquid shown at page 10. Use the liquid indicated on page 16 in the “Recommended lubricants and liquids” table. - Close the filler cap 1.

Hot oil can cause severe burns!

Keep the vehicle in vertical position relative to the ground. The level of the coolant must be checked when the engine is cold. Use the following procedure: - Unscrew cap 1 and ensure that the liq- uid is visible in the lower portion of the loading tube. - Where the liquid is not visible in the lower part of the loading tube position the vehicle as in the figure and then top up. - At the end of operation refit the filler cap and the vent screw. Use the liquid indicated on page 16 in the “Recommended lubricants and liquids” table.

WARNING: Never unscrew the

filler cap of the radiator when the engine is hot. Danger of burning!

Wear appropriate protective cloth- ing and protection gloves. Keep coolant out of reach of chil- dren. Avoid any direct contact of the cool- ant with skin, eyes or clothing. If this happens: - with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice; - with skin, Immediately clean contaminat- ed areas with soap and water Change clothing that is contaminated with cool- ant. If coolant is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.

REPLACEMENT Position the vehicle on a flat base and in a stable manner. Replacement of the coolant must take place when the engine is cold.

- with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice; - with skin, Immediately clean contaminat- ed areas with soap and water Change clothing that is contaminated with cool- ant. If coolant is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.4

- Thoroughly wash the filter with water and soap. - Dry the filter. - Wet the filter with specific oil and then remove the excess oil to prevent it from dripping. - If necessary also clean the interior of the filter box.

Do not clean the filter with gasoline or petrol. NOTE: If the filter is damaged, replace it immediately.

- Remove the filter frame and the filter by unscrewing the screw 2.

After every intervention, check that nothing has been left inside the filter box. - Reassemble by performing the operations in reverse order.4

SPARK PLUG Keeping the spark plug in good condition will reduce fuel consumption and increase engine performance. To perform the check, simply slide off the electrical connection tube and unscrew the spark plug. Examine the distance between the electrodes with a feeler. This distance should be from 0.7÷0.8 mm. If it is not, it may be corrected by bending the earth electrode. Check as well that there are no cracks in the insulation or corroded electrodes. If so, replace immediately. When replacing the spark plug, screw it in by hand until it stops, then tighten with a wrench.

Do not check while the engine is hot. 0,7÷0,8 mm Verify the integrity of water proofing gaskets on air box shown in the picture. Change them if these are damaged. To replace, contact authorised Betamotor customer service.

Never use the vehicle if the air filter is not in place. The infiltration of dust and dirt can cause damage and considerable wear.

After each operation check that no object is left in the filter box.4

FLOAT CHAMBER If the carburetor tank needs to be emptied, proceed as described. Perform the opera- tion once the engine is cold. Turn the fuel cock to OFF position (see page 20). Place a cloth under the carburettor in order to collect the fuel that comes out. Loosen screw 1 and drain the fuel until complete emptying of the tank. Tighten screw 1.

Follow action on a cold engine.

Fire hazard. Fuel is highly flam- mable. Always stop the engine when refuelling and keep open flames and lighted cigarettes away. Refuel in an open well ventilated area. Immediately clean up any spilled fuel.

Risk of poisoning! Fuel is poisonous liquid and a health hazard. Wear appropriate protective cloth- ing and protection gloves.4

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.

before starting the vehicle to check for play on the throttle (page 31). Fuel must not come into contact with the skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not breathe in the fuel vapours.

To guarantee an optimal operation and the longest lifetime of the progressive linkage of the rear suspension, it is recommended to check after every race/run the correct tightening of the bolt. Verify that the result of the suspension bolts to specified torque. To access the upper fixing, remove the entire mudguard group (page 68). NOTE: It is recommended not to wash with water jets at high pressure in the zone of the linkage. Perform the check according to the times indicated in the table on page 63. To verify device, contact authorised Beta- motor customer service. 45Nm 30Nm 45Nm TYRES Only fit tyres approved by BETAMOTOR. Unsuitable tyres can adversely affect the road holding of the vehicle.

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 lubri- cant 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.

TIGHTENING CHAIN Position the vehicle on the central bike stand. If the distance between chain and swingarm is less than 20 mm proceed with adjustment. Loosen the pin 1. 20mm

Loosen counter-nut 2 (one per side) and adjust register 3 until the desired tension is obtained. Measure distance X between number plate holder support 4 and anvil 5. Measure distance X between number plate holder support 4 and anvil 5. Ensure the distance between chain and swingarm is that recommended. If the distance between chain and swingarm is not that recommended pro- ceed to readjustment. After completing adjustment, keep register 3 locked and tighten counter-nut 2 (on each side) to the specified torque. Tighten the pin to the torque indicated.

BULBS Dismantle the headlight mask removing the two retaining screws 1 indicated in the figure. To replace the high/low beam bulb, pro- ceed as follows: lift rubber cap 2. Turn bulb holder 3 anticlockwise and remove the bulb holder from the headlight body. Turn the bulb counterclockwise with respect to the bulb holder. Replace the bulb. To reassemble the bulb and bulb holder, proceed in reverse order with respect to disassembly.

Keep the tail light glass clean at all times (see page 61). The LED tail light is sealed. In the case of burnout of one or more LEDs it is necessary to replace the entire group. To replace, contact authorised Betamotor customer service. To replace the daylight bulb, proceed as follows. Pull the whole bulb holder 4. Take the bulb and remove it from the bulb holder. Replace the bulb. To reassemble the bulb and bulb holder, proceed in reverse order with respect to disassembly. To replace the headlight group proceed in reverse order with respect to the above instructions paying attention to the instru- ment and regulator support fixing devices. TURN INDICATORS To reach the bulb, remove the glass cover by loosening screw 1. Remove the bulb from the connectors and carry out replacement.

CLEANING THE VEHICLE

WARNING: Do not clean your vehicle with a high-pressure device with a

strong jet of water. Excessive pressure can reach electrical components, con- nectors, flexible cables, bearings, etc and can damage or destroy them.

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. 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.4

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.

• Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function. To prevent malfunction of the electrical system, treat electric contacts and switches with electrical contact spray. ATTENTION: any oxidation of electrical contacts may result in serious malfunc- tioning.4
