Tips
To avoid problems and obtain the best possible results, CAGIVA recommends observ-
ing the following general rules:
- Before carrying out any repairs, evaluate the customer's report of the vehicle's mal-
function and ask any questions that may help clarify the nature of the problem.
- Clearly identify the causes of the malfunction. This manual provides the fundamen-
tals of troubleshooting, which the operator will complete with his personal experience
and the participation in the periodic training courses organized by CAGIVA.
- Make a rational plan of the repair so as to avoid wasting time in collecting spares,
preparing tools, etc.
- Only perform the operations that are required to reach the part to be repaired. Helpful
guidelines are provided in the disassembling and removing procedures described in
this manual.
