SPARK PLUG
Note
- The spark plug should be regularly checked, according to the "Maintenance table" or if the engine has a problem. See the section "Trouble shooting".
- Note that if the engine performance falls then this could be due to the spark plug.
Standard spark plug TORCH D8RTC Electrode spacing 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.028 – 0.031 in)
WARNING Incorrect installation of the spark plug or the choice of an
incorrect temperature grade may cause serious damage to the engine. This damage is not covered by the guarantee. Always use spark plugs recommended by GAS GAS. Consult the dealers or a qualified mechanic to know which spark plug is best for your bike.
Spark plug - removing
To remove the spark plug, take the following steps:
- Remove the cap A from the spark plug.
- Remove the spark plug B from its allotment using the special spark plug wrench.

Note To ensure correct operation of the spark plug, keep the protection
hood clean and dry.
AIR FILTER
A clean air filter will provide good engine performance and prolong its useful life. An obstructed air filter restricts the air intake of the engine, increasing the petrol consumption and reducing the engine power as well as causing the destruction of the spark plug.
WARNING If dirt enters the engine then this will lead to excessive wear
and engine damage. Inspect the air filter regularly as indicated in the Maintenance table.
Air Filter - Cleaning
DANGER When cleaning the air filter, ensure the area is well ventilated
and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not use petrol to clean the filter as this could result in an explosion.
To remove the air filter, proceed as follows:
-Remove the cover A by rotating the clip B.

- Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
- Start the engine, and allowed to run for five minutes to teach the transmission oil then drain as indicated in the section about oil changes.
- Put in fresh transmission oil.
- Empty the fuel tank. If fuel is left for a long time it will deteriorate.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Lubricate the drive chain and all the cables.
- Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or in the brakes.
- Set the motorcycle on a box or stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground. (If this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels to keep dampness away from the tire rubber).
- Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe to prevent moisture from entering.
- Put a cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it.
After washing
- Remove the plastic bags and clean the air filter intake.

For those countries outside of the European Community the guarantee will be regulated by the relevant current legislation. However, if the conformity fault appears during the first six months following delivery of the motorcycle, it will be assumed that this fault existed when the motorcycle was delivered; from the sixth month, the purchaser must show that the fault existed at the moment the goods were delivered. During the six months following the delivery of the repaired goods, the vendor will respond to the faults requiring repairs. Any defect detected in the product must be brought to the attention of the authorized GG dealer within the period of the guarantee. If the last day of the warranty period is a Sunday or public holiday, the warranty period shall be extended in such a way that the last day of the warranty period is the next working day following the respective Sunday or public holiday.
Warranty claims shall be excluded for any defects not brought to the attention of a licensed GG dealer by the end of the warranty period.

Miscellaneous
1- GG shall be entitled to decide in its sole discretion whether to repair or to replace defective parts should the repair or replacement cost be
disproportional. The ownership of parts replaced, if any, shall pass to GG, free of any consideration whatsoever. The licensed GG dealer entrusted with the removal of defects shall not be authorized to issue binding declarations on behalf of GG.
2- In cases of doubt regarding the existence of a defect or if a visual inspection or material testing is required, GG shall be entitled to demand
submission of the parts for which warranty claims are put forward or to order an examination of the defect by a GG expert. Any additional warranty obligations for parts replaced free of charge or for any service performed free of charge under the present warranty shall be excluded. The warranty of components replaced within the warranty period shall end at the date of expiry of the warranty period agreed for the original respective product.
3- If any defect cannot be removed and substitution is judged disproportional by the manufacturer, the guaranteed purchaser shall be entitled
to demand termination of the contract (payment of a compensation) or partial reimbursement for the purchasing price (discount) instead of repair of the motorcycle.
