CHECKS BEFORE AND AFTER USE For safe driving and long vehicle life you should: 1 Check all fluid levels. (page 44). 2 Check the correct operation of the brakes and brake pad wear (page 10). 3 Check pressure, general condition and thickness of tread 4 Check that the spokes are properly tightened.
FUELLING See page 16 for the fuel specifications. Disconnect the ventilation pipe 1. To open the tank turn the cap 2 anticlock- wise. To close the fuel tank’s cap, set it on the tank and crew it clockwise. WARNING! Refuelling must be carried out with the engine switched off. WARNING Fire hazard.
STARTUP Set the fuel tank tap to ON or RES (see page 18). - Position the key to (see page 21). - Make sure the right switch on the handlebar is on (page 19) - Check that the gears are in neutral (page 20). - Pull the clutch lever (page 18).
KEY TO SYMBOLS Tightening torque BRAKES FRONT BRAKE The front brake is disk type with hydraulic control. Use the adjusting nut 1 to vary the inter- vention point. WARNING: reduced play causes brake overheating leading to sudden lockup. REAR BRAKE The home position of brake pedal can be altered by turning adjusting screw 1.
ADJUSTMENT OF GAS CLEARANCE The throttle control cable should always have a 3-5 mm play. In addition, the idle speed should not change when the han- dlebars are fully rotated to the left or right. Push back protective cap 1. Loosen counternut 2 and turn adjusting screw 3.
HEADLIGHT •The light beam is adjusted by unscrewing or tightening screw A. By tightening screw the light beam is lowered; loosening screw raises the light beam. •Place the vehicle on level ground (but not on the stand) 10 metres from a verti- cal wall. •Measure the height of the headlight cen- tre above the ground and then draw a cross on the wall at 9/10 of the height of the headlight centre.
ENGINE OIL CHECK THE LEVEL When engine is cold check the oil level by means of porthole 1. The oil level must be always visible from the porthole. In contrary case restore the oil level through cap 2. Use the oil indicated on page 16 in the “Recommended lubricants and liquids”...
- Pour in the quantity of liquid indicated on page 16. - Screw on filler cap 1 again. - Start the engine and run at idle for a few minutes. - Turn off the engine and wait for about one minute, then check the level and top up if needed.
WARNING Fire hazard. Fuel is highly flammable. Pay special attention so that the fuel does not come into contact with hot parts of the vehicle. Immediately clean up any spilled fuel. : Risk of poisoning. WARNING Fuel is poisonous liquid and a health hazard. Fuel must not come into contact with the skin, eyes, and clothing.
• Release the filter holder 4. • Remove the filter unit 1. WARNING: After every intervention, check that nothing has been left inside the filter box. Reassemble following the dismantling sequence in inverse order. WARNING: Never use the vehicle if the air filter is not in place.
SPARK PLUG Keeping the spark plug in good condition will reduce fuel consumption and increase engine performance. To perform the check, simply slide off the electrical connection tube and unscrew the spark plug. Examine the distance between the electrodes with a feeler. This distance should be from 0.5 to 0.6 mm.
WARNING: Follow action on a cold engine. WARNING: Fire hazard! Fuel is highly flam- mable. Always stop the engine when refuelling and keep open flames and lighted cigarettes away. Immediately clean up any spilled fuel. FRONT BRAKE CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID Check the level of the brake fluid through sight A.
BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKE To bleed air from the front brake circuit, proceed as follows: •Remove the rubber cap 1 from the valve •Open the sump cap. •Insert one end of a transparent tube into a container. •Pump with the brake lever 2/3 times and keep the lever pressed. •Unscrew the valve and let the oil drain. •If are still visible in the tube repeat above operation until obtaining a continuous outflow of oil within no air bubbles. •Close the valve and release the lever.
BRAKE DISC THICKNESS CONTROL Periodically verify disc condition. In case signs of damage , veins, or deformations are present, proceed with replacement. Verify disc thickness. The minimum thick- ness is engraved on the disc. Once the limit is in proximity or has been reached, proceed with brake disc replace- ment.
BLEEDING THE REAR BRAKE To bleed air from the rear brake circuit, proceed as follows: •Remove the rubber cap 1 from the valve •Open the sump cap. •Insert one end of a transparent tube into a container. •Pump with the brake lever 2/3 times and keep the lever pressed. •Unscrew the valve and let the oil drain. •If are still visible in the tube repeat above operation until obtaining a continuous outflow of oil within no air bubbles.
BRAKE DISC THICKNESS CONTROL Periodically verify disc condition. In case signs of damage , veins, or deformations are present, proceed with replacement. Verify disc thickness. The minimum thick- ness is engraved on the disc. Once the limit is in proximity or has been reached, proceed with brake disc replace- ment.
FRONT WHEEL TIGHTENING Following removal of the wheel: Compress and release the fork 3-4 times. - Tighten the wheel bolt and the screws of the foot-leg. 10Nm 100Nm...
FORK To maintenance refer at an authorized service centre Betamotor. To check the tightening torques see as shown in the figure. WARNING: Tightening of the screws should be carried out by adjusting the torque 20Nm wrench to the stability torque with repeated tightening until stability torque has been achieved.
TYRES Only fit tyres approved by BETAMOTOR. Unsuitable tyres can adversely affect the road holding of the vehicle. • To protect your safety, immediately replace any damaged tyres. • Slick tyres adversely affect the road holding of the vehicle, especially on wet roads and in off-road riding.
CHAIN Checking the drive chain periodically to ensure longer chain life. Always keep it lubricated and clean of deposited dirt. If play exceeds 20 mm adjust the chain. 20 mm Take special care in preventing the lubri- cant from coming into contact with the rear tyre or brake disc, otherwise the tyre grip and the action of the brake would be greatly reduced, making it very difficult to...
HEADLIGHT Keep the headlight glass clean at all times (see page 57). Periodically check the correct angle of the light beam (chapter 3). REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS Remove the fixing screws and move for- ward the lamp holder front cowl. Carefully remove lamp 1 complete with the lamp holder.
TURN INDICATORS To reach the bulb, remove the glass cover by loosening screw A. Remove the bulb from the connectors and carry out replacement. TAIL LIGHT Keep the headlight glass clean at all times (see page 57). The LED tail light is sealed. In the case of burnout of one or more LEDs it is necessary to replace the entire group.
BATTERY Battery is located under the saddle and requires no maintenance. Keep the battery terminals clean. If neces- sary, protect them with a thin film of acid- free grease. REMOVAL Remove the saddle, the tank cover and the undersaddle plastic shield, as described in “Body disassembly and reassembly”...
Should the electrolyte come into contact with the eyes, rinse with water for at least 15 minutes and immediately seek medical attention. Even though the battery is sealed, there is a possibility that explosive gases may leak out. Keep sparks and open flames away from he battery. Keep spent batteries out of the reach of children and dispose of them as prescribed by law.
FUSES The vehicle has a fuses set located under the right side panel. To reach it: - remove the right side panel 1 (page 62). - remove the protective cap. Fuse 2 (10A) protects the electrical services circuit. Fuse 3 (10A) is a spare one. In case of fuse failure: - the vehicle stops/does not start.
CLEANING THE VEHICLE GENERAL PRECAUTIONS 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 with cold water 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.
