4-. Temperature warning lamp (Red.) This light is very important as it can tell us if there is an excessive increase in engine running temperature. 5-. Headlight Main beam war- ning light (Blue) This indicator comes on when the head- lights are on main beam.
HANDLE BAR SWITCHES (Left hand side.) 1-. Indicator Switch This has 3 positions: in the centre position it is deactivated, to indicate right it must be moved to the right and to indicate left it must be moved to the left. Note that the button always returns to the central position, to switch off the direction indicators push but- ton.

4-. Ignition Switch This switch is used to start the engine, after verifying that the gear-change pedal is in the neutral position. Cold Start (Choke) (in the carburetor) When the motor is cold, the choke lever should be placed in the On position. CAUTION: Once the motor has rea- ched it’s normal working temperatu- re, return the choke lever go back to...
CLUTCH LEVER The clutch lever is situated on the left-hand side of the handlebar. To activate it, pull the lever towards the grip or handlebar. FRONT BRAKE LEVER The front brake lever is situated on the right-hand side of the handlebar. To activate the front brake, pull the lever towards the handlebar.
PETROL TANK To get to the tank, open it using the stopper of the tank, turning it anti-clockwise. Remember that petrol without oil must always be used. The capacity of the tank is 6.3 litres. PETROL TAP The petrol tap is situated on the right-hand side of the vehicle, under the fuel tank.
CHECKS BEFORE USING MOTORBIKE Check the following points before using your motorcycle: Items to be checked Check-up Lights and indicators Check if they work correctly Front and rear brakes Check the brake pads for wear and test brakes Accelerator grip Check the set, regulate and lubricate if necessary Petrol tank Check level and fill if necessary...
ROUTINE TESTING FRONT BRAKE Pulling in the front brake lever operates the front brake by pumping brake fluid from the master cylinder to the front brake calliper. The brake pads are pushed by the calliper pistons against the front disc. Slowing the bike down. The braking surface of the disc should be free of oil and dirt to ensure maximum braking efficiency.
(WARNING Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork, if spilt wash off with water immediately) Always remember that the above must be carried out by a RIEJU official service.
THROTTLE TWIST GRIP Ensure it works correctly, by turning the grip and verifying if the free play is correct. The grip should return to closed position when released. LIGHTS, INDICATORS AND WARNING LAMPS Check operation of all lights, and direction indicators.
MOTORBIKE OPERATION It is very important to know how to operate your vehicle correctly. NOTE: remember that you must not leave the motor running in an enclosed area, as the toxic gas from the exhaust could cause serious health problems. STARTING AND RIDING.
RUNNING IN The most important period of your motorbike’s life is between 0 and 500 kilometres and because of this we ask you to read the following instructions carefully. In the first 500 kilometres, the motorbike must not be over- worked as the motor is new and the different parts of the motor have to wear in, until it works perfectly.
CARBURETTOR The carburettor provides the correct petrol air mixture to the engine. It the settings are tampered with poor performance and/or overheating may occur. If you have any problems please refer to your Rieju dealer.
FRONT SUSPENSION The front suspension consists of a hydraulic fork which has been crafted to the highest standards of technology and design. Fork MRT / MRT SM 125 Ø 37 mm. fork tubes Oil capacity: 245 c.c. per leg Type oil recommended: SAE 15W/20 REAR SUSPENSION The rear suspension is made up of a rectangular-pipe swing arm anchored to a hydraulic mono-shock absorber.
SPARK PLUG CHECK The spark plug is an important part of the motor and it is easy to check. Take the spark plug out and check it periodically, the high combustion temperatures and carbon deposits may effect the efficiency of the engine.
AIR FILTER To ensure that the engine runs correctly, the air filter must be kept clean and oiled. In order to access the air filter, disassemble the motorcycle seat, allowing free access to the filter box. Remove the cover, which is attached to the box by a screw, and remove the filter housing.
Page 26
After removal, check to see if the foam filter is blocked, in which case wash in paraffin, apply some air filter foam oil then squeeze the filter material between your hands to remove surplus oil. Do not wring out the filter element, as this will damage the foam. When refitting the air filter sure that the foam fits the box correctly so that no air can enter the engine without being filtered.
TRANSMISSION CHAIN ADJUSTING AND LUBRICATION To correct the chain tension, loosen the rear axel bolts and turn the adjustment plates of the rear wheel axle clockwise to tighten the chain and anti-clockwise to loosen the chain. Turn the rear Chain tensioner wheel several times and check the tension in various areas to find the point at which the chain is at its tightest point.
Page 28
Try not to over tighten the chain, as it will stretch and wear the sprockets much quicker and may dama- ge the gearbox. If the wheel and chain are badly aligned, this can cause the chain to come off, and severely affect the bikes handling.
LUBRICATION Engine lubrication uses an oil pump which is located inside the oil sump. The gearbox and clutch use the same oil and the recommended type is CASTROL SAE 20W-50, with a total capacity of 1.2 litres. The oil sump may be drained using the drain screw located at the lower left of the engine.
3. Using a hose pipe remove the degreasing agent and dirt, but only with the pressure that is necessary. (DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER.) NOTE: Rieju is not responsible for the use of degreasing agents that may stain or mark the body work or chassis.

4. Once the dirt has been removed, wash all the surfaces with warm water and soft detergent. To get to the difficult areas, use a bottle-washing brush or something similar. 5. Immediately rinse with cold water and dry all the surfaces. 6.
