  • Page 8: Break-In Procedure

    Break-In Procedure Your Cobra CX65 is a close-tolerance high performance machine and break-in time is very important for maximum life and performance. The CX65 can be ridden hard after the first ½ hour break-in time. Cobra recommends Bel-Ray H1-R premix oil with high octane pump gas mixed at 40:1.
  • Page 9 • Check the throttle for smooth operation and sound closing. • Check for loose bolts and nuts, and re-torque as necessary. • Verify that the air filter is clean and properly saturated with oil. • Insure that the fuel tank contains an adequate volume of fuel / oil mixture to complete the distance required.
  • Page 10: Maintenance

    Your Cobra Motorcycle has a 10 digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The first three digits indicate the model while the sixth and seventh indicates the model year. a. Example, CCXxx17xxx is a 2017 CX65. Schedule • Prior to each ride Check the air filter (clean and re-oil as necessary).

    2. Lean the bike against something or set on stand with oil drain hole. 3. Using a 8mm Allen wrench, remove the oil drain bolt located on the right side of the engine, on the clutch cover, near the brake lever (See Figure 1). NOTE: You may need to adjust the brake pedal (up or down) to gain access to the drain bolt.

    4. Put a rag between the sprocket and chain, and roll the wheel backward to pull the chain adjustor blocks tightly against the adjustor bolts (Figure 3). 5. Retighten the axle bolt to 25 ft-lb (34 Nm). 6. Retighten the adjustor jam nuts. CAUTION: Always check rear brake adjustment and free-play after adjusting the chain.
