Operating

This section explains basic operating and riding methods (i.e., starting, stopping, and shifting). If after reading this manual or at anytime you hav e any q uestio ns rega rding ho w to operate the vehicle, contact an authorized Cannondale
motorsports dealer for assistance.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Failure to inspect vehicle before operating.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Increases the possibility of equipment failure resulting in a accident where you can be seriously injured or killed.

STARTING

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Running the engine indoors. Breathing exhaust gases
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Running the engine indoors will expose you to dangerous exhaust gases. Breathing carbon monoxide gas leads to poisoning, asphyxiation, and death. This will happen rapidly and without notice.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the vehicle indoors even for brief periods.

BATTERY (FULLY CHARGED)

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always ins pec t before operating. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures found in this Owner’s Manual. Have an authorized Cannondale Motorsports Dealer inspect your vehicle at least after every 25 hours of use.
CAUTION
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature before riding.
This vehicle does not have a cooling fan. Airflow across the radiator is maintained during riding. If the vehicle runs without airflow, the engine can overheat and be severely damaged. The time it would take to overheat will depend on the weather conditions. Do not allow your vehicle to idle for more than 3 minutes without airflow across the radi­ator.
Make sure the battery is at full charge. Why? If the battery voltage dr ops wh ile you are using the starter motor, the v olta ge could drop and the power relay of the ECU will shut the ECU off. When this happens, the engine will turn over but not start.

COLD STARTING - (MC1000 )

NOTE : MC1000 equipped unit utilize an idle air control valve which automatically adjust throttle air bypass for cold starts. Do not open the throttle when cold starting.
1. Shift transmission into NEUTRAL and pull-in and hold in the clutch lever.
2. Press and hold the engine start button for no more than 2 to 3 seconds at a time.
When the engine fires release the button and slowly release the clutch lever.

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

BRAKING

When starting an engine after it has reached operating temperature, do not open th e th rottl e. This wi ll m ak e s tart ing very difficult a nd pos si bly foul the spark plug.

SHIFTING GEARS

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Shifting to a lower gear at high speeds.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Tires can lose traction and cause an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not down shift at high speeds.
CAUTION
When shifting gears, press the shift lever firmly to make sure the gears engagement is complete.
Careless shifting can result in incomplete gear engagement and can cause the transmission to jump out of gear. This can severely damage the engine.
1. To engage first gear from NEUTRAL, pull in the clutch lever and push down on the shift lever.
2. Release the shift lever.
3. Open the throttle a little and slowly let out the clutch lever.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD(S)
(1) Using the brakes improperly.
(2) Wet brake system (e.g. discs, pads)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
(1) If you apply the brakes too quickly or suddenly the wheels may slide or skid possibly causing you to lose control resulting in an accident where you could be seriously injured or killed.
(2)Wet brakes do not provide the stopping power needed and therefore are extremely dangerous.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
(1) Apply the front and rear brakes evenly and gradually. Always consider the surface of the terrain you are riding on and how it will affect your braking ability. Concentrate on applyin g both brakes as har d as possible without skidding. Shift down or fully disengage the clutch as necessary to keep the engine from stalling.
(2) In wet conditions test the brake operation frequently. When riding in wet conditions, ride the vehicle at sl ow spe eds an d ap ply th e b rake s seve ral times until they are dry and at full power. Before riding the vehicle m ake su re the b rakes an d controls (e.g., brake lever, brake pedal, clutch lever, engine stop switch, and throttle) operate properly.
To brake, close the throttle completely with the clutch engaged (except when shifting gears) so the engine will help slow down the vehicle. Apply the front and rear brakes evenly.
4. To shift into a higher gear, pull in the clutch lever, push the shift lever up to the next gear, release the shift lever, then release the clutch lever.
5. To shift into a lower gear, pull in the clutch lever, push down on the shift lever and release - then release the clutch lever.

Fluids

BRAKE

SERVICE : Brake, fluid type, DOT #4
CAUTION
Avoid spilling brake fluid on painted, plastic or rub­ber parts; damage can result. Place a shop towel or rag over these parts when servicing the brake sys­tem. Any wipe up spills immediat ely.

FRONT BRAKE

1. T o ch ec k the front system, start by leveling the top of the master cylinder (mounted on the right handlebar).
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD(S)
(1) Eye and skin injury, death if swallowed.
(2) Not using the specified, mixing different types (or brands) of, and using unsealed containers of brake fluid.
(3) Inadequate brake fluid levels.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
(1) Brake fluid is a hazar dous substance. It can cause injury to your ey es or skin if you touch it. If swallo we d it can cause death.
(2) Using unspecified brake fluid can damage the brake system leaving you without brakes. A container of brake fluid once unsealed can begin to absorb moisture from the atmosphere - if used in the brake system, the moisture will reduce braking force. You could lose your brakes an d hav e an accide nt resulting in injury or death.
(3) Low brake fluid can allow air to enter the system and this will reduce braking power. Again, you could have an accident and be serio usly injured or killed.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
(1) Always wear eye and hand protection when working with brake fluid. Keep brake fluid out of the reach of children and animals. If ingested contact contact a doctor immediately.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
When cleaning the oil filters, objects propelled by compressed air can strike your eyes and cause serious injury or blindness.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Wear safety glasses when working with compressed air.
CAUTION
When re-installing the transmission oil filter, be sure to insert it into the drain bolt, then insert the pair into the crankcase hole together. This helps assure that the other end of the filter will locate into the back of the transmission oil pump (rear of cartridge plate inside gearbox cavity). If the filter does not locate into the plate hole, unfiltered oil can enter and damage the pump.
4. Lean the vehicle slightly to the right to ensure all oil is drained.
5. If the fil ter did not com e out with the bo lt, remove it carefully from the hole. Clean it using compressed air.
NOTE : The transmission drain bolt is located on the right side of the engine. The filter (screen) may not come out with the drain bolt. After the oil drains, use needle nose pliers to gently remove it from within the drain hole.
Take notice of the sealing washer on the bolt when you remove it.
1. Place vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place a suitable container under transmission drain bolt and remove the bolt.
6. Inspect the filter for cracks, holes, tears, and other damage. Replace new if damaged.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
(1) Only handle gasoline outdoors and away from cigarettes, flame, sparks, welders, or other sources of ignition.
(2) Stop adding fuel when the fuel level reaches the bottom of the filler neck
CAUTION
If engine “knocking” or pinging occurs, use a differ­ent brand of gasoline or a higher octane rating.
Never experiment by using fuels other than the rec­ommended type in this vehicle. Other fuels or addi­tives not designed specifically for this vehicle can severely damage the eng ine a nd its sup porting com ­ponents (e.g. fuel system, sensor s, tank, hoses, etc. )

BREAK-IN

CAUTION
The break-in period for this vehicle is 1 hour. If not used carefully during this period, the vehicle may end up “broken down” instead of “broken in”.
Complete the Break-in column of the maintenance schedule in this section.

RIDING WHEN BREAKING-IN

Ride two 10-minute segments using no more than 1/2 throttle and wait for the engine to cool after each segment. Next, ride three 15 -mi nute segments using no more th an 3/4 throttle, again allowing the engine to cool between rides.
NOTE : During all rides, it is also important to shift gears often so that high rpms are avoided and the engine is not lugged.

SUSPENSION BREAK-IN

During the first hour, it is recommend ed to se t the ride height (spring pre-load), but do not change the factory-set suspension settings to allow the fork legs and rear shock absorber to brea k-in , in or der to wor k freely with a m in imum of friction.
NOTE : The initial suspension impression (or “feel”) could be harsh or stiff, this will change after about 1 hour of use. Therefore, do not change the initial suspension settings un til after the vehicle has been ridden for 1 hour.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
While riding you could lose the ability to accelerate or decelerate the engine with a subsequent loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident where you could be seriously injured or killed.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Check the throttle for proper operation before each ride. Make sure the throttle has the specified freeplay. If the throttle sticks open, immediately push and hold down the stop button until the engine shuts off.
To check operation, with vehicle off, rotate the throttle grip and make sure it moves e asi ly from fully closed to fully open with the front wheel turned in all steering positions. The throttle grip should return automatically from fully open to fully closed when released. If the throttle grip sticks, it is probably due to a cable problem.

ELECTRICAL

5. Whenever a connector or coupler is disconnected or checked, be sure to clean it and apply some dielectric grease before reconnecting.

CLEANING CONNECTORS

SYSTEM SERV ICING

Many electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connectors or couplers. For example, wet terminals/pins, dirty or corroded terminals/pins, or broken or bent cable pins within multi-plug cou pl ers .
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Damaged electrical system.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A damaged electrical system can cause a fire.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always disconnect the battery when working on an electrical part on the vehicle. When reconnecting the battery ALWAYS connect the positive (+) lead first.

CONNECTORS AND COUPLERS

Within this manual “connectors” refer to a single male lead that connects into a single female lead. Couplers contain multi-pins and usually have some sort of locking device (e.g., barb, hook, eye) which must be released before the two halves can be separated. Both couplers and connectors will be referred to as quick­connects. Refer to the following tips w he n dis co nnecting or connecting electrical connectors or couplers.
Wipe the connector or coupler with a clean, lint-free rag and blow off any moisture using compressed air. Remove corrosion, rust, stains or other forei gn m ater ial us in g contact cleaner on terminals and a water-displacement chemical on connector seals. Apply a light coat of dielectric grease onto the terminals/pins an d pr ope rly connect the halves.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

All Cannondale models use advanced fuel injection systems. Engine operation is supported by an Engine Management System (EMS) which controls both ignition and fuel delivery. The engine management system consists of three types of electrical components: an Engine Control Module (ECM), sensors, and actuators.
The engine control module (ECM or ECU) precisely calculates ignition timing a nd fueling delivery f or all engine speeds and loads (based on the currently installed ECM mapping). The ECM is an extremely reliable component and should be the last component checked in the event there is a problem with the fuel injection system.
Sensors collect engine operating information and transmit it to the ECU.
Actuators are devices like the fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, spark plug coil, and relays.

IGNITION TIMING

1. When disconnecting a con ne cto r, be sure to hold the coupler/connect ors; do not pull the leads.
2. Always check for a locking device which must be released before the coupler can be separated. Also, be sure to hold both halves of the coupler; do no t pull the leads.
3. Inspect couplers for bent terminals/pins, damaged cable terminal/pin joints, water, dirt, or corrosion, and secure wiring. If a terminal or pin is bent, carefully straighten it with a thin-blade screwdriver.
4. When connecting a connector or coupler, make sure there is no dirt present. Be sure to push the male and female ends together squarely to ensure that the terminals/pins do not get bent or incorrectly located. And most importantly, make sure the two halves connect positively.
X440s Owner's Manual.fm
© 2001 Cannondale Corporation - All Rights Reserved
Ignition timing is continuously changed based on rpm and engine load conditons determined by the ECM and the installed map(s). The ignition system is a constant energy type ignition with 12 V primary and approximately 10,000­20,000 V secondary.
Igntion timing is controlled by the ECM and is not user adjustable.
Ignition dwell time is controlled by the ECM and is not user adjustable.
Timing is accomplished by the crankshaft position sensor which is located in the generator housing. The wide tooth/ wide space pattern on th e fly w hee l pas se s und er the sens or near bottom dead center (BDC).

Page 58
CAUTION

MC1000 DIAGNOSTICS

Do not attempt to advance or retard the ignition tim­ing by moving the crankshaft position sensor. The fuel injection and ignition timing have been tuned to produce maximum engine power at all speeds and throttle positions. Deviation from factory ignition timing can cause serio us e ngine da mage. T he crank ­shaft position sensor monitors engine position at BDC, not TDC. Therefore, ignition timing is based off of BDC, not TDC.
Engine Control Module (ECM)

M1000

The ECM is located on the ECM mounting plate within the subframe. ECM diagnostics are performed by using specially developed Windows based software and a data cable.
A software diagnostic program has been developed to service this vehicle . It is a Win do ws base d program that ca n be used on a PC or Palm PC. A special data cable is used to connect the vehicle to the PC or Palm PC.
Contact an authorized Cannondale motorsports dealer for special tools developed to service your vehicle.

ECM HARNESS CONNECTOR(S)

The ECM harness connector is a locking type. Tests involving fault code diagnostics require the placing of test leads to specific pin locations of the connector.

SENSORS

CRANKSHAFT POSITON SENSOR

NOTE : If the crankshaft position sensor fails, the motorcycle will not run.
The crankshaft position sensor is located in the generator housing. This sensor detects movement of a toothed wheel that is molded into the flywheel and attached to the right side of the crankshaft. The wheel has a 36-tooth pattern. The teeth are evenl y spa ce d w i th th e exception of one triple length tooth next to one triple length gap.
Everytime this tooth/gap passes the sensor the ECM interprets it as bottom dead center (BDC). The ECM uses this information to determine engine speed and crankshaft position in relation to the point where fuel is injected and ignition of the air/fuel mixture occurs.
as a base. Throttle-plate angle is used by the ECM to determine fueling requirements for all throttle positions. The signals that the TPS sends, informs the ECM of not only the position of the throttle plate, but the speed with which it is being opened or closed. The engine load is determin ed from the TPS and engine speed (rpm).
The voltage output from the TPS increases proportionately as the throttle is opened .

COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The engine temperature sensor is brown, located on the front of the cylinder head, and is an NTC thermistor. The ECM receives electronic signals from this thermistor and uses them to determine the coolant temperature. This information is used by the ECM to optimize fueling at all engine temperatures and to calculate hot and cold start fueling requirements. The engine temperature sensor's resistance decreases as the temperature increases.
inducted air (and therefore the amount of oxygen available to ignit e the fuel), altering the effective engine load and thus the fuel required for proper combustion. The ECM uses information from this sensor to compensate for changes in air temperature by adjusting the amount of injected fuel to a level which enables clean combustion (reducing the risk of knock caused by high air intake temperatures) and low emissions.
Components have bee n remo ved for this photo.

AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The intake air temperature sensor is green, located on the front area of the airbox. It is a NTC thermistor that gives an indication of the temperature of the air that will be inducted into the engine. An intake air temperature sensor is installed because the air temperature affects the density of the

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR

NOTE : The barometric pressure sensor is intergrated inside the ECU.
The intake air pre ssure (bar ometric) sensor is built i nto the ECM and is connected to the airbox plenum by a narrow tube. The sensor measures the air pressure in the airbox. Using this information the ECM determines the air density, and when added to oth er inpu ts to the ECM, the engine load is calculated. This information is then used to adjust the amount of injected fue l to matc h the pr ev ail ing c ond itions.

SPARK PLUG CAP/COIL

BATTERY REMOVAL (MC1000)

The spark plug cap/coil is a “pencil-type” coil located on top of the spark plug. The ECM controls when the coil is switched on or off. The coil is switched on to allow sufficient time for the coil to charge to a level where a spark can be produced at the spark plug. The coil switches off at ignition, which is timed for good engine performance.
Components have bee n remo ved for this photo.

BATTERY

To remove the battery : Remove the side number panels, radiator shrouds, seat, , fuse, and fuel tank. Unbolt the MC1000 and lay it carefully over the right side of the subframe. Be careful not to disconnect the barometric sensor hose of the ECU or damage the harness connectors. Disconnect the negative lead of the battery first, then dis conne ct the p ositiv e (+) lead. Be careful not to disconnect the barometric sensor hose of the ECU or damage the harness connectors. Then, remove the hold down strap and lift out the battery.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Attempting to open the battery, remove the cap strip or add fluids to this maintenance free battery.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
If you pry off the cap strip on a maintenance free battery, you could release poisonous gas and corrosive fluid which could injure you severely.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to open the battery cap strip. Keep sources of ignition away from the battery (e.g. cigarettes, flames, or spar ks ).
The battery is mounted within the subframe. Cannondale motorcycles are equipped with maintenance free type batteries and do not require the addition of water. In fact, if you try to open the battery you will damage it and exposed yourself to harm. The fuel injection system benefits most from a fully charged battery. Weak batteries will cause hard starting and a general reduction in ve hic le performance.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Battery explosion or electrical fire.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Failure to disconnect negative (-) battery lead first can cause the battery to explode. This could result in serious injury to anyone in the vicinity of the battery.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always discon nec t the negative (-) battery lead first. When reconnecting connect the negative lead last.
CAUTION
Never allow a battery to s t and in a discharged condi­tion.
The battery capacity is sized for maximum perfor­mance and minimal weight. Repeated starting with­out running the engine long enough to replenish the battery will result in a discharged battery with insuf­ficient power to restart the engine.
Don’t charge the battery in your motorcycle with a car-type battery charger - you will ruin it. Use a motorcycle-type battery charger. Typically, these types of chargers deliver a a much lower maximum charging rate (2 amps).
1. Remove the battery.
2. Set the battery charger to 12 V.
3. Connect the red battery charger lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black battery charger lead to the negative (-) battery termin al.

ADJUSTMENT TIPS

CAUTION
Using too much force when closing the adjusters will destroy important sealing surfaces.
Do not turn the adjusters beyond the fully closed position (fully seated) or the adjusters will be severely damaged.

FORK COMPRESSION ADJUSTER

1. The front and rear suspension systems are factory pre­set, based on a average rider (weight & skill). Choice of individual se ttings wi ll vary dependi ng on s kill a nd ridin g style.
2. When making adjustments, make them one at a time and in small steps.
3. The external adjusters have a normal right-hand thread. As you turn the external adjusters, you will hear them click. Each click identifies a setting.
4. To avoid turning the adjuster in the wrong direction, always fully close the adjuster (turn it clockwise until it seats), then turn it counterclockwise the required number of clicks until the desired setting is reached.
5. Click position 0 (zero) is when the adjusters are turned clockwise until they are fully closed (i.e., fully seated). This is the hardest damping and should be your starting point. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise and listen for the clicks that identify setting positions “1”, “2”, etc.
6. Turning the adjusters counterclockwise (more clicks out) will gi ve less damping force.

7. Normally, the adjusters should not be adjusted more than two clicks at a time and no t outs ide th e max imum click range.
8. When you think you have made an improvement, go back to what you started with and double check to be sure an improvement was made. Also, pay attention to changes in co nd itions (e.g., tires, air temperature).
9. In general, compression damping changes should be used to influence the vehicle's stability and response, while rebound damping changes should be used to influence comfort and trac tion.
10. When you need more damping force, you should mainly try to increase compression damping and use as little rebound damping as possible. This will result in a gain in comfort and handling performance.

Cleaning and
Storage

CLEANING

CAUTION
Make sure the vehicle is cold before c l eaning it.
Do not use high-pressure washers to clean the vehi­cle. High-pressure will force wate r through se als and corrode bearing surfaces and electrical connections eventually causing them to fail.
Be sure to thoroughly dry you r vehicle after washing it. This will prevent corrosion and premature wear of components (e.g., switches, airbo x, wheel bearings).
Do not use compressed air to dry the vehicle . Com­pressed air can force water or other contaminants into bearings and the electrical system leading to severe damage and component failure.
Do not get detergent onto the brake discs or pads. The detergent may cause the brake discs to glaze and ruin the brake pads.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Cleaning the seat with unrecommended cleaners.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Some types of cleaners ca n leave the seat extremely slippery. A slippery seat could harm or affect the rider’s ability to control the machine.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Consult a Authorized Cannondale Dealer for products available.
1. Rear opening of the silencer
2. Clutch lever assembly
3. Brake lever assembly
4. Engine stop switch
5. Engine start switch
6. Remove the steering head and airbox filters and install the steering head (1) and airbox (2) plugs that came with your vehicle. Also, install the fuel tank bolt hole plug.
Do not wax or lubricate the brake discs. Braking power will be reduced a nd ma y r esu lt in an a ccident.
The steering head, airbox, and fuel tank bolt hole plugs must be installed prior to washing the vehicle and according to exploded illustrations. Failure to follow this caution will result in water getting into the engine and causing severe engine damage.
Do not install the steel and rubber washers on the intake side of the airbox plug or they will fall into the throttle body and cause severe engine damage.
Before you st art washing the ve hicle, cover the fol­lowing parts with plastic bags secured with rubber bands or duct tape.
