Stop the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to settle to a steady level. Check the level with the motorcycle perfectly vertical and with the engine warm (but not running).

The oil must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the level is low, top it up. Remove the filler cap (2) and top up with the recommended oil.

Change the oil when the engine is warm (but with the engine stopped). In these conditions the oil is more fluid and will drain more rapidly and completely.

Tighten the plug (3) to a torque of 42 Nm (Min. 38 Nm - Max. 46 Nm) (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Remove the oil sump filter cartridge (4) using service tool 88713.2906.

Fit a new cartridge (4) using service tool 88713.2906: lubricate the gasket with engine oil.

It is advisable to fill the filter cartridge (4) with engine oil before installing it: this enables the recommended oil level to be maintained without topping up.

Install the cartridge in its housing and tighten it to a torque of 11 Nm (Min. 10 Nm - Max. 12 Nm) (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Replace the mesh filter (7), fit the seal (6) to the plug (5) and tighten to a torque of 42 Nm (Min. 38 Nm - Max. 46 Nm)
(Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Remove the filler plug (2) and top-up with the specified oil type (Sect. 3 - 2, Fuel, lubricants and other fluids) up to reaching the notch of MAX level on the sight glass.

Check for oil leaks. Check that the oil pressure light on the instrument panel switches off a few seconds after the engine starts. If not, switch off the engine and trace the fault.

After a few minutes, check that the oil level is the specified one; if necessary, restore the MAX level.

In order to check the valve clearances, it is necessary to gain access to the four valve covers on the cylinder heads and then remove the parts listed below.

Open the lock and simultaneously apply downward pressure in the area of the catch to release the pin; Pull the seat backwards to release it from the front catches and remove it.

Remove the tank covers (Sect. 5 - 2, Removal of the fuel tank fairings).

Raise the tank but leave it connected to the fuel system and wiring then position it on the side, duly supported, to be able to work on the valve covers (5) of the vertical head.

Fit the tool handgrip 88713.0123 in the holes of the generator cover to be able to turn the crankshaft so that the valve on which the control is carried out is in rest position.

With the valve in the rest position, slide a feeler gauge between the opening rocker and the opening shim to measure the clearance.

With the valve in the rest position, slide a feeler gauge between the closing rocker arm and the closing shim to measure the clearance:

If detected values exceed the specified limits, replace opening and/or closing shims, as described in paragraph “Removal of the rocker arms, shims and valves” (sect. 9 - 4.4), with an adequate height to obtain the specified clearance.

Opening rocker arm shims measuring from 1.8 to 3.45 mm and closing rocker arm shims measuring from 2.2 to 4.5 are available as spare parts. the size is punched on the shim.

The air filter must be replaced at the intervals described in the “Routine maintenance table” (Sect. 4 - 2).

Open the lock and simultaneously apply downward pressure in the area of the catch to release the pin; Pull the seat backwards to release it from the front catches and remove it.

Remove tank covers (Sect. 5 - 2, Removal of the fuel tank fairings).

Remove the fuel tank (Sect. 8 - 2, Removal of the fuel tank).

A clogged air filter will reduce air intake and engine power, increase fuel consumption and cause a build up of deposits on the spark plugs. Do not run the engine without the air filter. This will draw foreign material present in the air into the engine and may damage the engine.

Install the cartridge in the airbox cover and refit all the removed parts; tighten the screws (1) to a torque of 5 Nm ±10% and the screw (4) to a torque of 6 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).

Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In the case of accidental contact, wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of running water.

Move the brake callipers pistons back: to carry out this operation unscrew the fixing screws (4) of the callipers on the fork plates and push, by removing them from each other, both pads from every calliper; during this operation be careful with the fluid level, that must always be aspirated each time that it flows back in the tank.

Once that all pistons of both callipers are fully moved back and that all the liquid in the tank has been aspirated, connect to the bleed valve (5) a transparent tube by immersing the end in a container placed on the floor.

If the screws (1) are removed, lubricate with specified grease underside and thread, then tighten the screws (1) to a torque of 31 Nm ± 5% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) in the sequence 1-2-1.

Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In the case of accidental contact, wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of running water.

On handing over the motorcycle after changing the brake pads, inform the customer that the front brake must be used gently for the first 100 km to allow the pads to bed in completely.

Check that the level in the cylinder tank is not below the MIN mark. If necessary, top up as follows. Turn the handlebar so that the reservoir is level.

Top-up to the maximum level with the specified brake fluid (Sect. 3 - 2, Fuel, lubricants and other fluids).

Check through the slot between the two half callipers that there is at least 1 mm of friction material on the pads.

Remove the snap ring (7) (on the inner side of the calliper) from the pad retaining pin. Force the brake pads apart to push the calliper pistons into their housings. Withdraw the brake pad retaining pin (8) and pull it out.

Check that the brake fluid level in the tank is between the MIN and MAX marks. If this is not the case, unscrew the tank cap and top it up.

If it proves difficult to change the brake pads, first remove the callipers from the motorcycle (Sect. 7 - 4, Removal of the rear brake calliper).

Being the brake callipers a security component of the vehicle, follow instructions indicated in Sect. 7 - 3, Removal of the front brake system and Sect. 7 - 4, Removal of the rear brake calliper, and pay attention, during the refitting, to the tightening torque (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) of the fixing screws of the callipers.

The throttle grip in all steering positions must have free play, measured on the periphery of the flange of the grip, of 2 ÷ 4 mm.

The condition of the throttle cable and choke cable sheaths should be checked at regular intervals. The plastic covering should show no signs of pinching or cracking.

Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly inside the outer cable: if you feel excessive resistance or stiffness, renew the cable.

Tighten the twistgrip housing with the two screws (5) to a torque of 1.8 Nm ± 10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).

The lever distance is adjusted by 4 clicks of the knob (2), position no. 1 corresponds to the maximum distance between the lever and the handgrip, whereas position no. 4 corresponds to the minimum distance.

When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the engine to the gearbox and the drive wheel is disengaged. Correct use of the clutch lever is very important in all riding situations, especially when moving off.

The engine can be started with the side stand down and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the side stand must be up).

The position of the gear change and rear brake pedals in relation to the footrests can be adjusted to suit the preferred riding position.

Verify, by acting manually on the pedal, that there is a clearance of about 1.5 ÷2 mm before starting the braking operation.

The adjuster (1) located on the left-hand side, where the upper end of the shock absorber is attached to the rear subframe, controls rebound damping.

Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping H; or anticlockwise to reduce damping S.

The two nuts (2) on the upper part of the shock absorber serve to adjust the preload on the external spring. To change spring preload, slacken off the upper ring nut. Then tighten or slacken the lower ring nut to increase or decrease spring preload.

To turn the preload adjuster nuts, use only a specific tool and take care, otherwise the wrench pins may slip off the nut. This could injure your hands. Never use a wrench with a too small pin or with a too short handle.

When adjusting the spring preload, do not exceed a spring length of 181 mm to avoid damaging the swingarm.

Standard length of the preloaded spring on the shock absorber with the rear wheel raised off the ground: 150±1 mm.

If the motorcycle is to be ridden with a pillion rider and luggage, we recommend setting the rear shock absorber spring preload to the maximum to ensure the best handling and proper ground clearance at all times. It may also be necessary to adjust the rebound damping accordingly.
