Valve Clearance; Front Brake Pad Check - Massimo Alligator 700-4 Owner's Manual

Valve clearance

The correct valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper fuel-air supply or
engine noise. To prevent this, the valve
clearance must be adjusted regularly. This
adjustment however, should be left to a
professional service technician.

Front brake pad check

Each brake pad is provided with wear
indicator grooves, which allow you to check
the brake pad wear without having to
disassemble the brake. To check the brake
pad wear, check the wear indicator grooves.
If a brake pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator grooves
disappeared, have a dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.

NOTE:
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See pages 8-4-18-42 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)
