• Page 84: Checking Brake Pad Wear And Changing Brake Pads

  section Use and maintenance Checking brake pad wear and changing brake pads Warning Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In the case of accidental contact, wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of running water. Important On handing over the motorcycle after changing the brake pads, inform the customer that the front brake must be used gently for the first 100 km to allow the pads to bed in completely.

• Page 85
  section Use and maintenance Insert the new pads and clip (1). Slide in the pad retaining pin (4) and secure it in position with the cotter pin (3). Operate the brake lever repeatedly so that the pads are firmly bedded in against the disc by the force of the brake fluid.

• Page 90: Adjusting The Rear Shock Absorber

  section Use and maintenance Adjusting the rear shock absorber Adjuster (1), located on the left-hand side at the point at which the top of the shock absorber is fixed to the rear sub-frame, controls rebound damping. Adjuster nuts (2) and (3), located at the bottom of the shock absorber, serve to adjust the preload of the outer spring. Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise to stiffen the damping H and anti-clockwise to soften it S.

• Page 91
  section Use and maintenance Important If the motorcycle is to be ridden with a pillion rider and luggage, we recommend setting the rear shock absorber spring preload to the maximum to ensure the best handling and proper ground clearance at all times. It may also be necessary to adjust the rebound damping accordingly.

• Page 95: Tester Power Supply

  section Use and maintenance Tester power supply The DDS tester (1) may be powered in any one of the following ways: — from the mains power supply: by connecting the mains adapter (14) to the power connection socket (N); — from the motorcycle: by connecting the specific cables (see paragraph “Connection to the motorcycle”); — from the tester’s internal battery: the battery (Q) is housed in the top part of the tester.

• Page 96
  section Use and maintenance Connection to the motorcycle The tester requires a power supply of between 9 and 16 Volts DC. When using the tester, take care never to allow the power supply to fall below the minimum voltage: this situation could occur during engine starting and idling on motorcycles in which the battery is not in perfect working order.
• Page 97
  section Use and maintenance — connect the power and diagnostic cable (2) to the diagnostic connection socket (P) on the tester; then connect the battery socket adapter (8) to the connection socket (R) on the power and diagnostics cable (2) and to the motorcycle battery.

  section Use and maintenance DDS tester The main functions of the DDS tester can be summarised as follows: — Retrieval of errors (faults) of the ignition-injection system stored in the engine control unit memory and their subsequent deletion, if required. — Reading of engine parameters (rpm, coolant and air temperature, atmospheric pressure, throttle opening, battery voltage, injection times and ignition advance, etc.).

• Page 99
  section Use and maintenance Take the measurement on section (23) of the horizontal belt as described in the paragraph “Measuring timing belt tension”. Turn the crankshaft through 270° in the direction of rotation of the engine (so that the piston of the vertical cylinder is at TDC of the power stroke) and repeat the procedure used for the horizontal cylinder, measuring the tension on section (22) of the vertical cylinder timing belt.
• Page 100
  section Use and maintenance Fix the mounting bracket of the belt tension sensor (15) using the timing belt cover bolt (21). Aim the central green LED of the sensor (15) at the mid-point of the belt run, with the reader parallel to the belt and at a distance of about 1 to 1.5 cm from it.
• Page 101
  section Use and maintenance Flick the belt lightly with your finger and read the frequency value (Hz) on the DDS tester. Notes Do not flick the belt several times repeatedly, as the minimum time necessary for the DDS tester to take a reading is 1 second. Correct tension values are as shown in Sect.
• Page 102
  section Use and maintenance Important Rotate the contact point (U) anti-clockwise to increase belt tension or clockwise to reduce it. 88713.1215 Re-check the timing belt tension.
