SERVICE MANUAL
When increasing the rear height, you have to lower the side guard and bring it to
approx. 5 mm from the tyre and parallel to it.
If the side guard is straight, you can decide whether to modify it or not.
After the adjustment, put the rear wheel on and measure the distance X between
the mudguard and the tyre. From that measure, take off 5-6 mm. The result will be
the measure you will use as reference to mark the point where to drill the new hole
for the bolt V2.
Example: if X= 25 mm; 25 – 5 = 20; the new hole will have to be 20 mm above the
existing one.
Mark the point in vertical line from the centre of the bolt V2. The distance centre-to-
centre from two holes should not be less than 10 mm, however, the interval of the
rear height adjustment is 10 mm.
Remove both the bolt V1 and V2.
Remove the side guard and drill a 8 mm hole where you marked for the V2.
Mount the side guard with the plastic spacer and temporarily fix it with the bolt V2.
Position the side guard at 5 mm from the tyre and parallel to it.
On the front inner side of the sideguard, in order to make marking the point easier,
you can put some sticky paper tape. While holding the support C with the brake well
leant against the frame, mark with a point, a pencil or else, where you will have to
drill the new hole for the bolt V1.
Check that the point you marked is not too close to the edge of the side guard or to
existing hole. In either case, move the support a few millimetres away and mark the
point again.
Remove the V2, remove the side guard and drill a 6 mm hole where you marked it.
Mount the side guard fixing V2 and then V1.
Repeat the same operations for the other side guard, fixing the front axle, too.
Adjust the brakes and the fork angle.
When you decrease the rear height, you have to move the side guard up.
The adjustment is limited to the lower edge of the side guard.
Usually, the margin is approximately 15-20 mm.
If the side guard is straight, you can decide whether to modify it or not.
To mark the point where to drill the new hole, proceed likewise described above and
taking into consideration the entity of the adjustment.
Therefore, if the adjustment is 20 mm, the new hole will be 20 mm below the exist-
ing one.
Between the new hole and the edge of the sideguard there must be at least 3 mm.
Adjust the brakes and the fork angle.
When changing both the setting and the rear height, proceed combining the two
instructions.
