RECOMMENDED FUEL CAUTION Do not mix vegetable and mineral based oils. Use gasoline with an octane rating equal to or higher than that shown in the table. Too much oil will cause excessive smoking and spark plug fouling. Too little oil will cause engine damage or premature wear.

SHIFTING GEARS NOTE When the engine is already warm or on hot days, open the throttle instead of using the choke knob. The transmission is a 6-speed, of the return shift type. A return shift means that to go from rst gear to third gear it must go rst through the second If the engine is ooded, kick with the throttle fully open.

Oil level inspection Oil change NOTE Wait a few minutes if the motorcycle has been operating. The engine must be completely cool and then warm up the engine again for a few minutes to normal operating temperature, to register the cor- rect engine oil temperature and to obtain an accurate oil level measure- ment.
AIR CLEANER Place a lint-free towel in the intake port of the carburetor so no dirt is al- lowed to enter the carburetor. A clogged air cleaner restricts the engine air intake, increasing fuel consump- tion, reducing engine power, and causing spark plug fouling. CAUTION Do not turn the lter since it can be easily damaged or torn.
Inspect the lter for damage such as tears, hardening, or shrinkage. If If the free play cannot be set by adjusting the cable, remove the cable damaged, replace it or it will allow dirt into the carburetor. protector in the throttle body. Make the necessary free play adjustments with the tensor at the end of the cable, tighten the locknut, and reinstall Apply grease to all connections and screws in the air cleaner and intake the protector.
EXHAUST SYSTEM WARNING Riding with a damaged throttle cable could be dangerous. The exhaust and the mu er reduce the noise and send gases away from the rider. If the exhaust is badly damaged, dented, cracked or rusted, replace it with a CLUTCH new one.
DRIVE CHAIN GUIDE The drive chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated in accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. If the chain is worn or adjusted incorrectly (either too loose or too tight) the chain could become loose or break. Replace the chain, if necessary.

Drive Chain Slack Adjustment Tighten the chain tensor nuts (B). Tighten rear axle nut to 98 Nm. Loosen the rear axle nut (A). Rotate the wheel, measure the chain slack again at the tightest position, Turn the nuts on the chain adjusting tensors (B) until the drive chain has and readjust if necessary.
Chain Guide Slider Apply oil to the sides of the chain rollers for better oil penetration. Wipe o any excess oil. Visually inspect the upper and lower chain slider at the location of the swin- garm. If damaged or worn, replace it with a new part. (A) - Apply oil Use oil for nal drives (see table lubricants pag.
Tighten the bolts, front rst and then the rear, to 25 Nm of torque. Rear brake pedal position When the brake pedal is in rest position, there should be a free play of 10 mm. Check the brake for good braking power and no brake drag. If the handlebar is installed correctly, there will be an even gap at the front and rear after tightening (A).
If the thickness of either pad, front and rear, is less than 1 mm, replace both pads as a set. Pad replacement should be carried out only by an authorized FANTIC MOTOR dealer. STEERING The steering should always be kept adjusted so that the handlebar will turn...

Compression dampening adjustment Standard oil level: 110 mm Fill the oil To adjust the compression, turn the adjusting screw located at the bot- tom of the front fork. Adjust the compression to suit the rider’s preference under determined conditions. Use the standard measures to adjust the compression (turn it 10 positions counterclockwise).

LUBRICATION Lubricate the points shown here, apply either engine oil or grease, periodical- ly or whenever the vehicle has been operated under wet or rainy conditions, and especially after using high water pressure. Before lubricating each part, remove any rusty spots with rust remover and wipe o any grease, oil, or dirt. General lubrication Clutch lever (A).
Drive Chain Lubrication NOTE The main jet should be increased or decreased 1 to 5 sizes and tested until the engine gives maximum power. Lubricate the drive chain after driving on wet terrein or when the chain looks dry. A high viscosity oil is preferred rather than a lower viscosity because it will stick to the chain longer and lubricate the chain better.

Race conditions: vary the transmission replacing the rear pinion. Does the rear tire lacks traction when coming out of corners? Fast race: use pinions with less teeths.
FANTIC MOTOR dealer, because of this and to extend the useful life of the motorcycle, all periodical inspections must be carried out by specially trained professionals at a FANTIC MOTOR Post-Sale Service Shop.
HOMOLOGATION: The vehicle you have just acquired has been homologated under the directives of the EU and complies with all the homologation requirements demanded. Compulsory homologation elements required, among others, when travelling on a public road and to meet periodical vehicle inspection approval at state controlled plants are listed below.
PREPARATION FOR COMPETITION (2). After 1 day of racing competition: 1. Clean the air cleaner element. (1). Check 2. Adjust drive chain slack. 3. Tighten rear sprocket nuts. 1. Front axle and bridges nuts tightness. 4. Tighten all spokes. 2. Front fork clamp bolts tightness. 5.
STORAGE For extended storage of the motorcycle, you must do the following: Clean the motorcycle thoroughly. Start the engine for about 5 minutes to warm up the transmission oil and then drain it (refer to the transmission section). Fill with new transmission oil. Empty the fuel tank (gasoline will deteriorate if left too long).
