The impluse swith is on the left side of the handle-bar near the combi- nation swith.

2.0 FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

2.1 Current speed (speedometer) function

This function describes the function/display of current speed. The infor- mation is always displayed on the 6-8 digits, accompanied by an indica- tion through the use of the graphic bar (Fig. 2) ; if the measurement unit selected is k.p.h. (default value), the relative digit is displayed; by pressing the button and gaining access to the Set-Up menu, it is possible to select m.p.h.; in this case, the speed indication will not be accompanied by any text showing the unit of measurement selected.

This function describes the function/display of the total distance trave- led. The information is displayed on the 1-5 digits accompanied by the letters TOD, as shown in figure 2; depending on the unit of measure- ment selected, the figure is shown in kilometres (default value) or miles. In normal conditions of use of the instrument, it is not possible to zero this information. The maximum figure that can be displayed is 99,999 km. (or miles); once this is exceeded, the counter is reset to zero. The figure shown increases by integer values of 1 km./mile. fig.2 TOD function fig.3 TIME function

2.3 Clock function (TIME)

This function describes the correct operation/display of the clock func- tion. This function is always displayed in an hh:mm format, using digits 1-5, as shown in Fig.3. The time may be adjusted only when stationary by pressing the button (under the TIME function) until only the segments relative to the clock function and the letters TIME are active, while all the other segments are switched off (Fig.4).43 fig.4 TIME Adjustment It is possible to adjust first the hours and then the minutes, depen- ding on the digit selected (which will be shown flashing with f=1Hz, Duty=50%); briefly pressing the button will increase the parameter selected by one, while longer pressure will enable another parameter to be selected (minutes rather than hours). Once the adjustment has been effected, normal operation is resumed by holding the button depressed for about 3 seconds. The Time parameter will be visuali- sed in a 24h format if the unit of measurement selected is k.p.h., and in the 12h format if the unit of measurement selected is m.p.h. Note 1 Once into the adjustment menu, the system will return to normal operation mode if 20 seconds pass without the button being pressed. Note 2 Once into the adjustment menu, if the bike starts to move (speed>0), the system will automatically return to normal operation mode. Sequence displayed: from 0:00 to 23:59 in 0-24h format from 0:00 to 12:59 in 0-12h a.m. format from 1:00 to 11:59 in 0-12h p.m. format Precision of the clock: ±2.5”/day. The information is not saved to memory.44

2.4 Automatic trip function (TD)

This function describes the function/display of the unit’s automatic trip function. This function is always shown using the 2-5 digits and is accompanied by the letters TD, as shown in Fig.5; the figure shown represents the distance run by the bike expressed in kilometres or miles (depending on the unit of measurement selected), with a reso- lution of 0.1 (kilometres or miles); this counter is automatic: it is activated by the first impulse from the speed sensor. The figure is not saved permanently. It is possible to zero the counter associated with this parameter by pressing the button (below the TD function) for about 3 seconds until the value 000.0 appears. The zeroing of the TD can be effected both while stationary and whilst moving, and also zeroes the LAP function. If the figure exceeds 999.9, the system will automatically zero the TD and LAP, and will then restart the trip. fig.5 TD function

2.5 Automatic trip function (CountDown)

This function describes the function/display of the unit’s countdown trip function. This function is always shown using the 2-5 digits and is accompanied by the flashing letters TD (see Fig.6); the counter is always active and counts down with a resolution of 0.1 (kilometres or miles depending on the unit of measurement selected). It is pos- sible to modify the value associated with this parameter by pressing the button (below the TD function and whilst stationary) for about 3 seconds until only the segments relative to the countdown function and the letters TD (still flashing) are active, while all the other seg- ments are switched off, as shown in Fig.7.45 fig.6 CountDown function fig.7 CountDown adjustment It is possible to modify the different figures in the counter, starting with the largest figure and moving successively to the lesser one; depending on the data selected (shown flashing with f=1Hz, Duty=50%), a brief pressure on the button will decrease the figure by one, while a longer pressure will enable the selection of a different parameter. Once the adjustment has been finished, normal operation mode is activated by pressing the button for about 3 seconds while the lesser figure is selected. If the figure counts down to 000.0, the system will Re-initialize the value at 999.9. Note 1 Once into the adjustment menu, the system will return to normal operation mode if 20 seconds pass without the button being pressed. Note 2 Once into the adjustment menu, if the bike starts to move (speed>0), the system will automatically return to normal operation mode. Sequence displayed: from 999.9 to 000.0 The information is not saved to memory46

2.6 Automatic chronometer function (LAP)

This function describes the function/display of the chronometer associa- ted with the TD. The information is displayed on digits 1-5 and accom- panied by the letters LAP, as shown in Fig.8. The figure displays the time lapse of the bike (in mm:ss format if hours = 0, and in hh:mm format if hours > 0), associated with the TD parameter; it is therefore an auto- matic counter: it is automatically activated with the first impulse from the speed sensor (when LAP is operative, the digit separating hours and minutes, and minutes and seconds, flashes, and is displayed fixed when LAP is not operative), and stops 3 seconds after reception of the last impulse sent by the speed sensor. The data is not saved permanently to memory. It is possible to zero the counter associated with this parameter by pressing the button (below the LAP function) for about 3 seconds until the value 00’00” appears. The zeroing of the LAP can be effected both while stationary and whilst moving, and also zeroes the TD function. If the figure exceeds 23-59 (that is 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds), the system will automatically zero the LAP and TD, and will then restart the trip function. fig.8 LAP function

2.7 Modification to wheel circumference, units of measurement and wheel

impulses The modification to the wheel circumference, units of measurement and number of wheel impulses can only be effected while stationary, maintai- ning the button pressed under the TOD function until the only information displayed (in the 2-5 digits) is the wheel circumference and all the other segments are off (see Fig.9). It is possible to modify the various figures constituting the value for the wheel circumference, starting with the largest figure and moving successively to the lesser one; depending on the digit selected (shown flashing with f=1Hz, Duty=50%), a brief pressure on the button will increase the figure by one, whilst a longer pressure will enable the selection of a different figure47 Note 1 Adjustment interval (wheel circumference): from 1,000mm to 2,500mm with steps of 1mm. Note 2 If the wheel circumference selected is >2,500mm, the system will automatically set the default value (2,091mm). Fig.9 Adjustment of wheel circumference Fig.10 Adjustment of units of measurement Once the wheel circumference has been adjusted, it is possible to modify the unit of measurement by holding the button depressed for about 3 seconds while the lesser figure is selected; at this point, the display will show the letters ‘km/h’ and ‘Mph’, with the unit selec- ted initially shown flashing (f=1Hz, Duty=50%). This parameter is modified in the same way as described above. The change in unit of measurement will irreversibly cancel the TD and LAP48 By holding the button depressed for about 3 seconds while the unit of mea- surement is selected (shown flashing with f=1Hz, Duty=50%), it is possible to modify the number of wheel impulses. This parameter expresses the number of impulses the electronic sensor sends to the instrument for each complete turn of the wheel. The adjustment interval permitted ranges from a minimum of 1 for each complete turn of the wheel to a maximum of 6. Note 3 The impulses may also NOT have equal lapses of time between them. By holding the button depressed for about 3 seconds while the value is selected, it is possible to return to standard operating mode Fig.11 Adjustment of impulses for each complete turn of the wheel Note 4 The information concerning the values for the wheel circumfe- rence, unit of measurement and number of impulses for each turn of the wheel selected, are saved to memory. Note 5 Once into the adjustment menu, the system will return to normal operation mode if 20 seconds pass without the button being pressed. Note 6 Once into the adjustment menu, if the bike starts to move(speed>0), the system will automatically return to normal operation mode.

22.8 Succession of functions shown

Scrolling through the functions is always possible, whether statio- nary or moving, by pressing on the button in accordance with the sequence shown below

The function of the button varies depending on the function displa- yed, as shown in the table below.

2.10 Initial installation of instrument

The default value of the wheel circumference is 2,091mm, and the unit of measurement is k.p.h. for the speed and kilometres for dis- tance; again by default, the system is set to receive 1 impulse for each complete turn of the wheel. To modify any of these parame- ters, it is necessary to proceed as per the instructions above. During the initial installation of the instrument, the display will Visualize the version and date of the software installed for about 2 seconds. Immediately after the display’s Check, and the visualisation of the pre-set wheel circumference and number of impulses for each turn of the wheel, the system activates the standard operating mode.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

SHERCO recommends that you clean your new SHERCO 125 on a regular basis in order to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.

1. Cover the exhaust outlet and the air filter intake with an appropriate

cover. (a piece of plastic with a rubber band will work)

2. To clean the engine, apply a good quality degreaser, scrub with a

brush and then rinse the engine with a water hose.

3. Wash the motorcycle first with a garden hose.

4 Wash the rest of the vehicle with hot soapy water.

5. Rinse with water.

6. Dry with a chamois or a clean lint free cloth.

7. Dry the chain and lubricate it with special adapted chain lubricant.

8. Once you are finished cleaning the bike remove the covers from the

intake and the exhaust. Start the engine and let it idle a few minutes. Avoid the use of high pressure washers, the water can enter the bearings, the steering housing, etc. and cause severe damage. Use a detergent specifically designed to wash automobiles or motorcycles, this will eliminate the possibility of damage to the tires. Before storing the vehicle for a prolonged period (more than two months), it is recommended that you follow these instructions:

1. Wash the motorcycle as described above.

2. Drain the fuel tank and the carburetor.

3. Remove the spark plug and place some drops of engine oil in the cylin-

der. Replace the spark plug and turn the engine over several times with the kick starter with the ignition switch in the off position, this will cover the internal surfaces of the cylinder with oil.

4. Lubricate all of the pivot points and cableswith spray protector

5. Lift the motorcycle in order that the wheels leave the ground.

6. Cover the exhaust exit with a piece of plastic to keep moisture from

entering the engine.

7. Place a thin coating of engine oil on all non painted metallic surfaces.

8. Cover the motorcycle with an appropriate cover.59
