The running-in period lasts approximately 5 hours, during which it is advisable to:

1 Make the first refuelling with a mixture of 3% .
2 Use the oil indicated on page 16 in the "Recommended lubricants and liquids" table.
3 During the first 3 hours of operation the engine should only be used to approximately 70 percent of its power. In addition, the engine speed should not exceed 11,000 rpm.
4 For the next 2 hours of operation the engine should only be used to about 90 percent of its power.
5 Use the vehicle after properly warming up the engine.
6 Avoid travelling at constant speed (changing the speed causes the different components to bed in evenly and more quickly).

This procedure should be followed each time piston, piston rings, cylinder, crankshaft or crankshaft bearings are replaced.

WARNING

Replace the transmission oil after the first 3 hours or after 15 l. of mixture.

REFUELLING

See page 16 for the fuel specifications. Mix fuel with oil according to the percentages shown in the table. Use the oil indicated on page 16 in the "Recommended lubricants and liquids" table.

The home position of brake pedal 3 can be altered by turning adjusting screw 5 after loosening the counternut located under dust cap 4. Loosen the counternut and turn the adjusting screw until the desired height is obtained. Retighten the counternut after completing the operation.

CLUTCH

The adjustment screw 6 allows adjustment of the distance of lever 7 from the knob. The empty run is recovered automatically.

ADJUSTMENT OF GAS CLEARANCE

The throttle control cable should always have a 3 - 5mm play. In addition, the idle speed should not change when the handlebars are fully rotated to the left or right. Push back protective cap 1. Loosen counternut 2 and turn adjusting screw 3. Tighten the counternut and check that the throttle twist grip turns smoothly.

ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED

lding adjustment greatly affects the appropriate start-up and the accelerator response.

ldling is adjusted through adjustment screw 1 and air adjustment screw 2. Adjustment screw 1 adjusts the basis position of the gas valve. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the rotation conditions and counterclockwise to diminish it. The air adjustment screw 2 adjusts the quantity of which is mixed to the fuel for idling. If the screw is turned counterclockwise, the quantity of air increases (thin mix), if turned clockwise, the quantity of air diminishes (fat mix).

To properly adjust the idle speed, follow these steps:

• Tighten the air adjustment screw no. 2 fully and then loosen it up to the value described in the carburetor setting table (page 12)
• Warm the engine for approx. 5 minutes, until the operational temperature is attained.
• Slowly turn the air adjustment screw 2 clockwise, until idling starts diminishing.
• Mark the position, then slowly turn the air adjustment screw no. 2 counterclockwise, until idling decreases again.
• Adjust the screw between these two positions, at the highest idling point..

If a remarkable increase in the rpm occurred during the adjustment above, idling is to be reduced and taken back to the normal level, and then execute the above procedure.

If no satisfactory results are obtained after the procedure, this may be due to an incorrect slow-running jet.

If the air adjustment screw has been thoroughly tightened, but the rpm have not varied, a lower size slow-running jet is to be used.

Execute the adjustment procedure again after replacing the jet.

NOTE:

The correct idling should be between 1700 and 1800 rpm.

CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE

REAR SUSPENSION LEVERAGE

In order to guarantee optimal operation and duration over time of the progressive leverage of the rear suspension, it is recommended to periodically check correct tightness of nuts and bolts.

Verify that suspension nuts and bolts are at the indicated torque.

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.

CHECK AND ADJUST TIGHTENING CHAIN

Position the drive on a flat base ensuring stability.

If the chain play exceeds 20mm tension the chain.

Loosen the pin 1.

4

• Loosen counternuts A on either side of the fork.

• Turn adjusting screws B on either side until the desired chain tension is obtained.

• Tighten counternuts A on either side of the fork.

• Tighten the pin 1 to the torque indicated.

CHECK FOR CHAIN WEAR

Shift into neutral, pull up the upper stretch of the chain with a force of 10 - 15 kg (see figure). Measure the length of 18 links on the lower stretch of the chain. If the length is ≥ 272mm replace the chain. Chains do not always wear evenly. For this reason it is important that the measurement is taken at different points along the chain.

When fitting a new chain, be sure to replace the chainring and sprocket as well. New chains wear more quickly if fitted on old and worn sprockets. After replacing the chain, adjust its tension as described on page 69.

HEADLIGHT

Keep the headlight glass clean at all times (see page 72).

Periodically check the correct angle of the light beam.

REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS

Remove the fixing screws and move forward the lamp holder front cowl.

Carefully remove the headlight bulb 1 together with lamp holder. To replace the high beam/low beam, lift the rubber cover 2, release connector, push on the spring 3 and remove the lamp holder and replace the light bulb with a new one. Be careful not to touch the bulb so as not to compromise its efficiency.

To refit, follow the procedure above but in reverse order.

Fasten the lamp holder front cowl to the supporting pins and fix it with the two elastics.

TAIL LIGHT

Keep the tail light glass clean at all times (see page 72).

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.

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.
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 throttle body.

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.

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.
• 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.

AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY

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