12.-CONNECTING ROD AND BEARINGS
For this check, adjustment, or change, you must go to your GAS GAS official
service.
13.-KICK-STARTER AND GEAR SHIFT PEDAL
Lubricate articulated and mobile parts with oil or grease. Lubrication excess can
cause slip of your boots on the pedals.
14.-RUBBER JOINT EXHAUST/SILENCER

service.
15.-MOTOR BEARINGS
For this check, adjustment, or change, you must go to your GAS GAS official
service.
16.-COOLANT
The coolant absorbs excess heat from the engine and transfers it to the air
through the radiator. If the liquid level drops, the engine overheats and may suffer
severe damage. Check the coolant level each day before driving your GAS GAS.
To protect the aluminum parts of the cooling system (engine and radiator) from
oxidation and corrosion chemical inhibitors are used in the coolant essence. If an
anticorrosive coolants ir not used, after some time, the radiator will rust. This will
block the cooling tubes.
NOTE: Initially from the factory a permanent type antifreeze is used. It's green,
containing 30% of ethylene glycol and has a freezing point of -18°C.
DANGER
The liquid chemicals are harmful to the human body. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING
Using incorrect coolant solutions may damage the engine and cooling system.
Use coolant containing corrosion inhibitors made specifically for aluminum en-
gines and radiators in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Coolant level
1.
Put the bike in position for use.
2.
Unscrew the radiator cap (1) counterclockwise and wait a few seconds for
the vapors to evacuate. Then push and turn in the same direction to finish
pulling the cap.
3.
Check the coolant level. Check the coolant level. The liquid should be just
below the rubber of the cap.
4.
If the fluid level is low, add the required amount through the filler opening.
Recommended coolant: GRO GCC 30% Long time. (-18°C)
