MAIN pARTS fuEL COCK Fuel valve has two positions: OFF: fuel supply closed. Fuel cannot pass from the tank to the carburettor. ON: fuel supply enabled. Fuel flows from the tank to the carburettor and the tank empties completely. Turn the knob to switch from OFF to ON and vice versa.
TEAR-Off STOp dEvICE The switch-off device is located on the left- hand side of the handlebar and it tears off. The tear-off stop device turns off the engine when the magnetic button is removed from its seat. There are two possible conditions: Button inserted: the engine may start.
fRONT BRAKE LEvER ANd GAS CONTROL The front brake lever 1 and the gas throt- tle 2 are located on the right side of the handlebar. Pulling the lever 1 towards the handlebar engages the front brake. WARNING! Do not touch the brake caliper and the disk after long and continuous use of the braking system.
SIdE STANd Press down side stand with the foot and lean the vehicle against it. Ensure that the ground is solid and the vehicle stands steadily. WARNING! Do not climb on the vehicle with the side stand lowered. WARNING! The kickstand has an auto- matic closing device.
ChECKS BEfORE ANd AfTER uSE For safe driving and long vehicle life you should: Check all fluid levels. Check the correct operation of the brakes and brake pad wear (page 37 and page 40). Check pressure, general condition and thickness of tread (page 12). • Check that the spokes are properly tightened.
fuELLING Use a blend of high-octane unleaded gasoline and synthetic oil at 1,5%. Fuel tank capacity is shown on page Disconnect the ventilation pipe 1. To open the fuel tank’ cap 2, turn it anti- clockwise. To close the fuel tank’s cap, set it on the tank and screw it clockwise.
STARTING ThE ENGINE Move the fuel tank valve in ON position (see page 18). Check that the button is inserted correctly in the tear-off stop device (page 19). KICKSTART (page 20): depress the kick-starter with a sharp move- ment of the foot. ATTENTION Once the pedal has been depressed, release it immediately.

BRAKES fRONT BRAKE The front brake is disk type with hydraulic control. The position of the lever is controlled through the use of register 1. Once the position of the lever has been changed, register 2 must be changed to restore the initial correct clearance.
hANdLEBAR The handlebar can be adjusted by rotating it back and forth. - To adjust the handlebar loosen screws 1. - Position the handlebar according to requirements. - Tighten to the torque indicated. 20Nm ShOCK ABSORBER AdjuSTING ThE SpRING pRELOAd To adjust the spring preload, use the pro- cedure described below.
ENGINE OIL 10Nm ChECK ThE LEvEL Hold the vehicle upright. With the engine cold, remove the inspection screw 1 and make sure that the oil touches the bottom edge of the thread. If the level is lower than prescribed: - remove the filler cap 2; 10Nm - top up until the condition indicated above is achieved.
Page 31
- Unscrew filler plug 2 and drain plug 3. - Drain all the oil from the crankcase. - Close plug 3. 10Nm Pour in the quantity of liquid indicated on page 12. Use the liquid indicated on page 16 in the “Recommended lubricants and liquids”...
LIquId COOLANT ChECK ThE LEvEL Keep the vehicle in vertical position relative to the ground. The level of the coolant must be checked when the engine is cold. Use the following procedure: - Unscrew cap 1 and ensure that the liquid is visible in the lower portion of the load- ing tube.
AIR fILTER Check after every ride. REMOvING ANd INSTALLING AIR fILTER To access the filter is necessary: •Remove the screws 1. •Release rubber band 2. •Remove the air filter cover 3. •Pull out air filter 4. WARNING: After every intervention, check that nothing has been left inside the filter box.
AIR fILTER CLEANING • Thoroughly wash the filter with water and specific soap for washing filters. • Dry the filter in a ventilated area. • Wet the filter with filter oil and then remove the excess oil to prevent it from drip- ping.

RESTORING ThE LEvEL Of ThE fRONT BRAKE fLuId To restore the level of the brake fluid, loosen the two screws 1, lift cap 2 and add brake fluid until its level is 5 mm below the upper...
BLEEdING ThE fRONT BRAKE To bleed air from the front brake circuit, proceed as follows: •Remove the rubber cap 1 from the valve 2. •Open the sump cap. •Place one end of a small transparent tube into the valve 2, and the other end inside a container.
fRONT BRAKE LINING CONTROL In order to verify the wear condition of front brake is enough to view the caliper from the bottom, 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.

fRONT BRAKE LINING CONTROL In order to verify the wear condition of front brake is enough to view the caliper from above, 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 ANd AdjuSTING Of STEERING pLAy Periodically check the play in the steering sleeve by moving the fork back and forth as shown in the figure. Whenever you feel play, adjust as described below: - Loosen the screws 1 - Loosen the screw 2 - Reduce the play by turning nut 3 Tighten the screws to the prescribed torque values.
fRONT whEEL TIGhTENING After removing the wheel: • Compress and release the fork 3-4 times. • Tighten the wheel bolt and the screws of the foot-leg. 50Nm 15Nm 50Nm...
TyRES Only fit tyres approved by BETAMOTOR. Unsuitable tyres can adversely affect the holding of the vehicle. • To protect your safety, immediately replace any damaged tyres. • Slick tyres adversely affect the holding of the vehicle, especially on wet roads and in off-road riding. • Insufficient pressure results in abnormal wear and overheating of the tyres. • The front and rear tyres must have the same tread design. • Always measure the inflating pressures when the tyres are cold. • Keep the tyre pressures within the prescribed range. ChAIN Checking the drive chain periodically to ensure longer chain life. Always keep it lubricated and clean of deposited dirt.
ChECK ANd AdjuST TIGhTENING ChAIN 10mm Position the vehicle on the central bike stand. If the distance between tensioner and swingarm is less than 10 mm proceed with adjustment. • Loosen the pin 1. • Rotate register 2 until the distance be- tween chain and swingarm is that recom- mended above.
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, con- nectors, flexible 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.
