    SPARK PLUG To accede to spark plug, is necessary to take off saddle and the fuel tank. To remove the fuel tank proceed as follows. Unscrew the two screws 1, unscrew the screw 2 (both side). Close the fuel tap (OFF position) and disconnect the pipe fuel 3 from the fuel tap.
  • Page 47 To perform the check, just extract the spark plug cap and unscrew the spark plug by means of the provided wrench. Carefully clean the electrodes using a 0,5 0,6 wire brush. Blow the spark plug with com- pressed air to prevent any residues from getting into the engine.

  • Page 48: Carburetor

    CARBURETTOR The throttle valve, the needle valve and the needle jet are subject to heavy wear due to engine vibrations. As a result, wrong functioning may manifest. DRAINING THE CARBURETTOR FLOAT CHAMBER If the carburetor tank needs to be emptied, proceed as described.

  • Page 49: Coolant

    CHECKING THE FLOAT LEVEL 60° Remove the carburettor and the float cham- ber. Keep the carburetor on a 60° approx. incline, so that float leans on the needle valve without pressing it. In this position the float edge should be parallel with the float chamber sealing surface (see figure).
  • Page 50 DRIVE CHAIN MAINTENANCE The life of the drive chain largely depends on its maintenance. Chains without X- rings must be periodically cleaned in petroleum and then immersed in hot chain oil or treated with a chain spray. X-ring chains require very little maintenance. The best way to clean them is rinsing them generously with water.
