CHECKS BEFORE AND AFTER USE For safe driving and long vehicle life you should: • Check all fl uid levels. • Check the correct operation of the brakes and brake pad wear (page 42). • Check pressure, general condition and thickness of tread (page 10). •...
STARTUP Set the fuel tank tap to ON or RES (see page 18). - Position the key to (see page 21). - Check that the gears are in neutral (page 20). - Pull the clutch lever (page 18). WARNING! If you do not pull the clutch lever the vehicle will not start. - Retract the stand (page 20).
TRIAL TRIM OPTION The motorbike has been designed to change trim, depending on the driving require- ments. It is so fl exible that it’s like having two motorbikes into one: - Alp touring: to drive on or off road. - Alp trial: for extreme driving on rough ground. To set the motorbike in the Alp trial trim, remove the following parts: - the saddle, - the tank cover,...
KEY TO SYMBOLS Tightening torque BRAKES FRONT BRAKE The front brake is disk type with hydraulic control. Use the adjusting nut 1 to vary the inter- vention point. WARNING: reduced play causes brake overheating leading to sudden lockup. ADJUSTMENT OF GAS CLEARANCE The throttle control cable should always have a 3-5 mm play.
ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED The slow running should be adjusted when the engine is hot. Connect an electronic revolution counter to the spark plug ca- ble. Then use a screwdriver on register screw 1 to calibrate the minimum with 1600÷1700 rpm HANDLEBAR The handlebar can be adjusted by rotating it back and forth.
HEADLIGHT •The beam is adjusted by loosening the left and right fi xing screws 1 of the mask and changing the inclination of the opti- cal unit by turning the screws 2. •Place the vehicle on level ground (but not on the stand) 10 metres from a verti- cal wall.
ENGINE OIL CHECK THE LEVEL 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 cap 2. Use the oil indicated on page 16 in the “Recommended lubricants and liquids”...
- Pour in the quantity of liquid indicated on page 10. - Screw on fi ller cap 1 again. - Start the engine and run at idle for a few minutes. - Turn off the engine and wait for about one minute, then check the level and top up if needed.
AIR FILTER Check after every ride. REMOVING AND FITTING AIR FILTER Remove the saddle, the tank cover and the under-saddle plastic shield, as described in “Body disassembly and reassembly” on page 58. • Remove the cover 2 by loosening the screw 3.
AIR FILTER CLEANING • Thoroughly wash the fi lter with water and soap. • Dry the fi lter. • Wet the filter with filter oil and then remove the excess oil to prevent it from dripping. • If necessary also clean the interior of the fi...
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 0.5 to 0.6 mm.
WARNING: Fuel is fl ammable and toxic and must be handled with great care. Never work on the fuel system near heat sources or open fl ames. Always allow the engine to cool down before working on the fuel system. Wipe off any excess fuel with a rag. Materi- als soaked in fuel are also fl...
BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKE To bleed air from the front brake circuit, proceed as follows: •Remove the rubber cap 1 from the valve •Open the sump cap. •Insert one end of a transparent tube into a container. •Pump with the brake lever 2/3 times and keep the lever pressed.
REAR BRAKE CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE REAR BRAKE FLUID Check the level of the brake fl uid through sight 1. The level of the fl uid should never fall below the mark in the sight. RESTORING THE LEVEL OF THE REAR BRAKE FLUID To restore the oil level, top up by means of oil fi...
REAR BRAKE LINING CONTROL 2 mm In order to verify the wear condition of rear brake is enough to view the caliper from the back side, where is possible to glimpse the brake lining tails which will have to show a brake of 2 mm in thickness. If the stratum is lesser let’s start replacing them.
CHECK OF STEERING PLAY Periodically check the play in the steering sleeve by moving the fork back and forth as shown in the fi gure. Whenever you feel play, adjust as described below: - Loosen the screws 1 40Nm - Loosen nut 2 - Reduce the play by turning ring 3 Tighten the bolts to the prescribed torque values.
FORK OIL The procedure for changing the oil in the forks is provided only for information. We recommend having the operation performed by a BETAMOTOR authorized workshop. Follow these steps to renew the oil: - Position the vehicle on the central bike stand.
CHAIN Checking the drive chain periodically to ensure longer chain life. Always keep it lubricated and clean of deposited dirt. If play exceeds 20 mm adjust the chain. 20 mm 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 diffi...
HEADLIGHT Keep the headlight glass clean at all times (see page 53). Periodically check the correct angle of the light beam (chapter 3). REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS • Remove the two screws 1 and 2 that secure the light unit to the light holder. •...
TURN INDICATORS To reach the bulb, remove the glass cover by loosening screw A. Remove the bulb from the connectors and carry out replacement. TAIL LIGHT Keep the headlight glass clean at all times (see page 53). The LED tail light is sealed. In the case of burnout of one or more LEDs it is necessary to replace the entire group.
REMOVAL Remove the saddle, the tank cover and the undersaddle plastic shield, as described in “Body disassembly and reassembly” on page 58 . Remove the cover 2 by loosening the screw 3. Release rubber band. FIRST disconnect the negative connector (black) from negative (-) pole and THEN positive connector (black) from negative (+) pole.
INACTIVITY If the vehicle is not going to be used for a long time, remove the battery and charge it every 15 days using a suitable charger. Store the battery in a dry place at a tem- perature of 5 to 35°C and out of the reach of children.
FUSE Fuse 1 is located in starting relay 2. To access the fuse remove the relay from the rubber mounting and release connec- tor 3. A spare fuse is supplied. A blown fuse should only be replaced with another of the same type. Should the new fuse also burn out when fi...
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, connectors, fl exible cables, bearings, etc and can damage or destroy them. WARNING: Wash motorbikes frequently that are used near the sea (salty air) and on roads subject to salt spreading in winter.
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.
