6 Maintenance and little fixing A good motorbike rider is first and foremost expected to worry about the security. Those precautions begin by taking care about the „active security‟. That means that the rider has to respect the indications given in this manual about the checks, the maintenance, the adjustments and lubrications. The different checks are listed in the paragraph which title is „CHECK LIST BEFORE USE‟.

2. Clean the joint surface and the spark plug thread. 3. Put the spark-plug in the cylinder-head. Then begin to tighten it with the hand, in order not to damage the head cylinder tapping (direction A). Tighten the spark plug thanks to torque wrench: the recommended torque is : 17,5 Nm (1,75 m.kgf).
6.4.2 Oil change 1. Start the engine and let it warm up for a few minutes, and after that switch it off. 2. Put an oil change tray under the oil drain plug. It will help you to collect the old oil. 3.
6.6 Carburetor adjustment The carburetor is one of the essential parts for the functioning of the engine, in order to have the best performances, and to increase the engine reliability. It needs to be very precisely adjusted, preferably by a professional especially trained and tooled. 6.6.1 Tuning engine The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on atmospheric conditions.

The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the throttle open ¼ or less can be set by adjusting the pilot jet. Jet needle groove position adjustment Adjusting the jet needle position affects the acceleration when the throttle is 1/8 to ¾ open. Too rich at intermediate speeds Rough engine operation is felt and the engine will not pick up speed smoothly.
6.8.2 Front wheel fitting 1. Lift the wheel up within the two front fork arms, and make sure the brake disk is situated within the brake pads. 2. Thread the wheel axle through the two front fork arm and the wheel hub. 3.
The front and rear tires are preferably from the same manufacturer, with the same structure, with the aim to improve the road holding. Here are the different tires which are homologated for the SCORPA SY-250FR 15thA : FRONT : Mark...
6.10 The spoke wheel The normal functioning of the bike, its reliability and the security depend on the following precautions: Before each use, check the lack of cracks on the rims Check the spoke tightening and tighten it again if necessary as explained in the dedicated paragraph.
6.11.2 Setting 1. Loosen the rear wheel axle. 2. To tighten the chain, turn the left eccentric clockwise (c) and the right one anticlockwise. On the contrary, to release the chain turn the right eccentric clockwise (c) and the left one anticlockwise, then push the wheel towards the front of the bike, until the eccentrics lean on their stop on the swinging arm again.
6.12.2 Adjustment of handlebar front position rear position There are 2 settings; . To make this, it‟s necessary to make a reversal position of lower holder handlebar (eccentric holder handle bar). Front position: The holder handlebars are positioned at the front of the upper triple clamp. Rear position: The holder handlebars are positioned at the rear of the upper triple clamp.
6.14 Brakes WARNING The new plates must be ground, so that the brake provides optimal proportioning and best deceleration. For that, make about thirty accelerations until approximately 30km/h, and slow down gradually until the total stop. 6.14.1 Adjustment of the brake levers loose Adjustment screw Lock...
6.14.3 Pad wear control Take care to check the brake pads wear, in accordance to the frequency given by the „List of the regular maintenance and lubricating : Make sure that the thickness of the brake pads lining is sufficient. It must not be less than 1mm. Otherwise, make the pads replaced by your dealer and your brakes adjusted.
The check of the brake fluid level must be operated when the top of the fluid tanks is horizontal, with the aim not to alter the level measurement. The filling up has to be operated with the recommended brake fluid: Motul Brake Fluid DOT 5.1, and the same type as this of the fluid of the circuit, to avoid the risk of chemical reaction.
6.16 Side stand Side stand Just as for the levers, the functioning of the side stand has to be checked before each use. In fact, a bad functioning can prevent the side stand from folding up. If the stand does not totally fold up, it can make the driving very dangerous.
6.17 Front suspension 6.17.1 Inspection Fork surfaces and dust seals must be clean. If there is an oil leakage, fork seal should be replaced before riding the bike. Check the fork by locking the front brake and pushing on the handlebar. You should try factory settings before attempting any adjustments.

WARNING : if the functioning or the progressiveness of the front fork is not satisfactory, make it inspect by your dealer, and replace it if there is a serious problem. 6.19.3 Check of the steering It might happen that the steering bearings are loose or damaged. Then they may cause serious dysfunction in the steering.
If any important operation has to occur, it is strongly recommended to confide it to your dealer, who is especially trained therefore. Moreover, le replacement of the defective parts has to be operated with SCORPA‟s parts, which ensure the best reliability and performances. Those are parts which have been jointly designed especially for your vehicle.
