RECOMMENDED FUEL

Use gasoline with an octane rating equal to or higher than that shown
in the table.

Recommended oil:

2-CYCLE SYNTHETIC

OCTANE RATING METHOD MINIUM

RATING

Antiknock Index (RON+MON)/2 90

Research Octane No. (RON) 98

NOTE

If knocking or pinging occurs, try a different brand of gasoline
or higher octane grade.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain
conditions. Always stop the engine and do not smoke. Make sure
the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or
sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Mixing oil inside the engine

Oil must be mixed with gasoline to lubricate the piston, cylinder,
crankshaft, and connecting rod bearings.

If the recommended oil is not available, use only oil designed

NOTE

for racing with 2-cycle engines.

Gasoline and engine oil mixing proportions:

Synthetic oil 100%: gasoline 50, engine oil 1 = 2%

Semi-synthetic oil: gasoline 50, engine oil 1 = 2%

Mineral oil: gasoline 32, engine oil 1 = 3%

CAUTION
Do not mix vegetable and mineral based oils.
Too much oil will cause excessive smoking and spark plug fouling.
Too little oil will cause engine damage or premature wear.

CAUTION

Below 0 ºC do not use 100% synthetic oil.

To prepare the mixture, first pour oil and half of the gasoline used
into a container and stir the mixture thoroughly. Then add the rest
of the gasoline and stir the mixture well.

NOTE

At low temperature, oil will not easily mix with gasoline. Take
time to ensure a well-blended mixture.
The lubrication quality of this mixture deteriorates rapidly; use
a fresh mixture for each day of operation.

STOPPING THE MOTORCYCLE

Perform the break-in period following these steps:

For maximum deceleration, close the throttle (A) and apply both
front and rear brakes. Disengage the clutch as the motorcycle comes
to a stop. Independent use of the front or rear brake may be
advantageous under certain conditions.
Downshift progressively as speed is reduced to ensure good engine
response when you want to accelerate.

(A)

RIDING DURING THE BREAK-IN PERIOD

A break-in period is necessary to ensure a smooth operation and
obtain an optimum engine and the transmission responses. During
the first hour or 20 km of operation, run the engine at low and
moderate speeds and revolutions per minute (RPM).

NOTE

The slow riding necessary during the break-in period may cause
carbon deposits to build up on the spark plug and foul it. If
inspection of the spark plug shows this to be the case, replace
the standard spark plug with another of a higher heat range.

1. Start the engine and let it run at idle until the engine is warm.

2. Stop and let the engine cool completely.

3. Start the engine and ride for 10 minutes at moderate speed -

NEVER ACCELERATE HARD.

4. Stop and let the engine cool completely. Be sure to check and

adjust chain slack and spoke tightness and cxarry out a general
inspection.

5. Start the engine and ride for 20 minutes at moderate speed. -

NEVER ACCELERATE HARD.

6. Stop and let the engine cool completely. Check and adjust as

needed (Refer to the table of adjustments).

7. Install the parts removed.

8. Fill the radiator with the recommended coolant. Before starting

the motorcycle, bleed the air from the cooling system.

9. Start the engine and ride for 30 minutes at moderate speed.

10. Stop and let the engine cool completely. Check and adjust.

11. After the break-in procedure has been properly carried out, the

motorcycle is ready for regular operation.

CAUTION

However, avoid accelerating recklessly that can lead to engine failure.
Be careful to use the necessary skills and techniques while operating
the motorcycle.

NOTE

After the break-in period, install a new set of standard spark
plugs.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION

This motorcycle uses a capacitor discharge ignition system (CDI).
The ignition system should never require adjustment unless the
stator of the magnetic flywheel was incorrectly installed during engine
reassembly.

If necessary, inspect and adjust as follows:

Adjustment

- Remove the magnetic flywheel cover (A).

- Make sure that the mark on the stator plate is aligned with the
mark on the crankcase.

- If the marks are not aligned, loosen the magnetic inertia wheel
screws and turn it.

- Tighten the screws securely.

- Install the magnetic flywheel cover.

NOTE

Engine tune-up can be adjusted to match the rider´s preferences
and skills.

- Remove the magnetic flywheel cover.

- Loosen the stator screws.

- Adjust the engine tune-up by changing the position of the stator
within prudent limits

NOTE

For the best engine performance, it is very important to adjust
the engine tune-up within the set of limits described.

(A)

125 cc

200 / 250 / 300 cc

- Tighten the stator screws.

- Install the magnetic flywheel cover.

- Test ride the motorcycle and readjust the engine tune-up, if
necessary.

COOLING SYSTEM

Radiator Hoses

Check the radiator hoses for cuts or deterioration, and the connections
for looseness and leaks.

Radiator

Check the radiator fins for obstructions (insects or mud). Remove
any obstructions with a stream of low water pressure.

-19-

If high water pressure is used the radiator fins could be damaged

CAUTION

and impair the radiator effectiveness.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories. Any interference with the radiator airflow
can lead to engine overheating and damage.

Coolant information

To protect the cooling system aluminum parts (engine and radiator)
from rust and corrosion, the use of corrosion and rust inhibitors
chemicals in the coolant is essential. If rust inhibitors were not used,
over a period of time the radiator will be corroded. This will clog the
tubes of the cooling system.

If the lowest ambient temperature encountered falls below the freezing
point of water, protect the cooling system. Use a permanent type of
antifreeze in the cooling system (distilled water and ethylene glycol
and corrossion inhibitors for aluminium engines and radiators).

For the coolant mixture ratio under extreme conditions, choose the
mixture ratio listed on the container for the lowest ambient temperature.

CAUTION
Permantent types of antifreeze have anticorrosion and anti-rust
properties. When it is diluted excessively, it loses its antifreeze and
anticorrosion properties. Mix in accordance with the instructions of
manufacturer.

Liquid recommended

Use of incorrect coolant solutions will cause engine and cooling

CAUTION

system damage.
Use coolant containing corrosion inhibitors made specifically for
aluminum engines and radiators in accordance with the instructions

of the manufacturer.

WARNING

Chemical liquids are harmful to the human body. Follow manufacturer
instructions.

CAUTION
Distilled water must be used with corrosion inhibitors and the
antifreeze in the cooling system. If tap water is used in the system,
the cooling tubes can be clogged and reduce the cooling system
efficiency.

Permanent type of antifreeze (distilled water and ethylene glycol)
plus corrossion inhibitors for aluminium engines and radiators.

NOTE

Initially, at the factory a permanent type of antifreeze is installed
in the cooling system. It is colored green, it contains a 50%
solution of ethylene glycol, and has a freezing point of –35 ºC.

Coolant recommended

Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to
the air at the radiator. If the coolant level is low, the engine overheats
and may suffer severe damage. Check the coolant level each day
before riding the motorcycle. Add liquid recommended if the level is
low (see next page).

-20-

WARNING

To prevent severe scalding do not remove the radiator cap or try to
change liquid, when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools.

Coolant level

- Place the motorcycle in riding position.

- Turn the radiator cap (A) counterclockwise and wait a few seconds

until vapors inside are released. Then push and turn it further in
the same direction and remove the cap.

(A)

(1). Coolant level.
(2). Filler opening.

Total quantity

Mix antifreeze and distilled water 1:1 (distilled water 50%, antifreeze
50%).
Capacity: 1.1 L

Coolant Replacement

Coolant should be changed periodically to ensure long engine life.

- Wait for the engine to cool completely.

- Place the motorcycle in riding position.

- Remove the radiator cap.

- Place a container under the coolant drain screw, and drain the
coolant from the radiator and engine by removing the drain screw
(B) at the bottom of the water pump cover (A). Wash off immediately
any coolant spilled on the chassis, engine, or wheels.

Check the level when the engine is cold.

NOTE

- Check the coolant level. The coolant level should be just at a level
below de cap rubber seal.

- If the coolant level is low, add the correct amount of coolant
through the filler opening.

WARNING

If coolant gets on the tires will make them very slippery and can
cause an accident.

- Visually inspect the old coolant. If whitish spots are observed in
the liquid is a clear indication that the aluminum parts in the cooling
system are corroded. If the coolant is brown, iron or steel parts
of the system are rusting. In both cases, flush the cooling system.

- Check the cooling system for damage, leaks or missing gaskets
in the cooling system.

- Install the water pump cover drain screw with the specified torque
values shown in the table. Always replace the gasket with a new
one.

Drain plug tightening torque (refer to torque table)

Water pump screw: 9 Nm

- Fill the radiator up to the edge of the cap with coolant, and install
the radiator cap.

- Inspoect the cooling system for leaks.

- Start and warm up the engine, then stop the engine.

- Check the coolant level after the engine cools down. Add coolant
up to the cap.

Standard Spark Plug

200 / 250 / 300 cc NGK BR8 EG NDW24ESR-U 0.7-0.8 mm

The spark plug should be removed periodically to check its gap. If
the plug is oily or has carbon deposits, clean it with a sandblaster.
After removing the abrasive particles, the spark plug must be cleaned
using a wire brush or a similar tool. Measure the gap with a feeler
gauge, if incorrect adjust the gap by bending the side electrode. If
the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged, or if insulator
is cracked, replace the plug.

NOTE

Inspect every 30 hours and change every 60 hours.

To find out whether the right heat range plug is being used, remove
it and inspect the ceramic insulator around the center electrode. If
the ceramic is light brown, the spark plug is correctly matched to
engine temperature. If the ceramic is whie, the spark plug should
be replaced with the next colder plug. If the ceramic is black, the
spark plug should be replaced with the next hotter plug.

NOTE

If the engine performance drops, replace the spark plug first to
recover its output.

TRANSMISSION

SPARK PLUG

The standard spark plug is a shown in the table and should be
tightened to 27 Nm.

For the transmission and clutch to function properly, maintain the
transmission oil level at the optimum level and change it periodically.
A motorcycle with insufficient transmission oil, deteriorated or
contaminated can accelerate wear and tear and cause transmission
damages.

WARNING

Misalignment of the wheel will result in abnormal wear and may
cause an unsafe riding condition.

NOTE

Wheel alignment can also be checked using the string metod.

When the chain is worn so much that it is more than 2% longer than
when new, it is no longer safe for use and should be replaced.
Whenever the chain is replaced, inspect both the engine output
pinion and rear sprocket teeth, and replace them if necessary. Worn
sprocket teeth will cause a new chain to wear quickly.

NOTE

When a part ir worn, replace it with a genuine part for maximum
resistance and safety.

To minimize any chance of the master link coming apart, the master
link clip must be installed with the closed end of the «U» facing in

STEERING

The steering should always be kept adjusted so that the handlebar
will turn freely but without free play.

-31-

To check the steering adjustment use a stand under the chassis,
and lift the motorcycle off the ground. Move the handlebar lightly to
either side; if the handlebar continues moving under its own
momentum, the steering is not too tight. Squatting in front of the
motorcycle, grasp the lower end of the front fork (at the axle), and
push and pull the fork (as shown on the previous photo); if free play
is felt, the steering is too loose.

If the steering needs adjustment

- Install the suspension top bridge (D).

- Tighten the steering stem nut, and front fork washers and screws.

Steering nut: 44 Nm (4.5 Kgm).
Suspension top bridge: 22 Nm (2.25 Kgm).

FRONT FORK

The front fork should always be adjusted for the rider´s weight and
road conditions. The adjustments must be performed in 4 steps:

- Air pressure: Air pressure affects the fork travel. The air pressure
increases as the fork heats up, in other words it varies as a function
of time of operation. We do not recommend using air pressure,
because the suspension has been designed to work without air
pressure.

- Using a stand under the frame, and stabilize the motorcycle.

- Place a support under the engine so that the front wheel is raised
off the ground.

- Remove the purge screw at the top of the front fork to bleed the
air out.

(A)

- Rebound and compression dampening adjustment: This adjustment
affects how quickly it rebounds. The fork rebound dampening
adjuster has 18 positions. The tightest position is full hard. The
position 12 from close is the standard setting, and position 18 from
close is full soft.

- Oil level adjustment: The effects of higher or lower fork oil level
are only felt during the final 100 mm of fork travel. A higher oil level
will make the fork rebound faster. The lower the oil level is the fork
rebound will be slower.

- Fork spring: Optional springs are available that are softer and
stiffer than standard.

Air Pressure

The standard air pressure in the fork is atmospheric air pressure.
The air pressure increases as the fork heats up, because of this the
fork action becomes harder.

(A). Air purge screw.

Rebound Dampening Adjustment

- To adjust the rebound, turn and hand tighten the adjuster knob (A)
located at the top of the front fork.

- Adjust the rebound to suit the rider’s preference under determined
conditions.

Compression dampening adjustment

- To adjust the compression, turn with your finger the adjusting knob

located at the top of the front fork.

- Adjust the compression to suit the rider’s preference under

determined conditions.

- Use the standard measures to adjust the compression (turn it 6
positions counterclockwise).

Oil level adjustment

- Place a stand under the motorcycle engine (to keep it in a straight
and stable position).

- Remove the handlebar screws and remove the handlebar.

- Remove the suspension caps from the tubes.

REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension is composed of the shock absorber, swingarm,
linkages and torque rod.

Generally speaking, the operating characteristics are similar to the
front fork. But its unique characteristic is that it has, besides the
shock absorber, an articulated quadrilateral composed of the linkages
and torque rod.

To match various riding condition types, the shock absorber spring
can be adjusted or replaced with an optional one. Also the dampening
force can be easily adjusted, this feature makes it unnecessary to
change oil viscosity.

the spring and any of its related parts to be ejected at high velocity.
Always wear eye and face protection. The installation of these parts
should be performed by an authorized dealer.

WHEELS

Tires

- Tire pressure affects traction, and tire life.

- Adjust the tire pressure to match road conditions and rider’s
preference, but do not stray too far from the recommended pressure.

NOTE

Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold before
riding.

Road conditions

- When the road is wet, muddy, sandy or slippery, reduce the tire
pressure.

- On gravel roads or hard terrain, increase the tire pressure.

Spokes and wheel rims

The spokes on both wheels must be tightened evenly and should
not be allowed to have free play. Unevenly tightened or loose spokes
will cause wheel rim runout, the other spokes will be stressed and
might break.

Place a dial indicator at the rim side, and spin the wheel by hand
to measure the axial runout.

Place the dial indicator at the inner circumference of the wheel and
spin the wheel, the difference between the highest and lowest
quantities is the runout.

If the runout is not excesive it can be corrected tightening or loosening
some spokes with the spoke adjusting wrench (B). If the wheel rim
is curved or bent it must be replaced.

NOTE

A welded area on the rim may indicate excessive runout.
Disregard this when measuring rim runout.

more or less fuel. Start by turning the air screw. Screwing it in richens
the mixture. The air screw must be turned from a lightly seated
position. Make changes in 1/2 turn increments. If turning the screw
between 1 and 2.5 turns does not give the desired results, change
the slow jet (B) one step and tune up with the air screw (A).

Carburetor jet needle

The jet needle and jet needle hole together have their greatest effect
in the one-half throttle range. The needle moves in and out of the
jet needle hole; since the needle is tapered, its position in the jet
determines the amount of fuel allowed to flow.
There are five grooves in the upper section of the needle where a
circlip fits. This clip locates the needle in the throttle valve and
determines its relative position in the jet needle hole, and provides
a rich mixture. Moving the clip to the top will provide a lean mixture.
Change the clip position one step at a time. The straight area of the
needle affects throttle valve response in the small openings range.

Symptoms of improper settings

(B)

If your motorcycle exhibits one of the following symptoms the changes
must be adjusted. Before attempting any changes, make sure that
everything else is in good operating condition.

Check the condition of the spark plug, make sure the ingnition timing
is correct, service the air cleaner element, decarbonize the exhaust
tube
If you machine has run properly up to this point, it is possible that
the problem is elsewhere; changing the carburetor settings in such
a case would probably be a waste of time.

Correction factors:

(For altitude or temperature changes).

1. Find the correction factor to adjust the carburetor.

Example: 1000 meters altitude with an air temperature of 35°C. The
correction factor is 0.94.

2. Using the correction factor, select the correct slow jet and main

jet.

Example: For a correction factor of 0.94 multiply the jet size by that
number.

Idle jet: # 50 x 0.94 = # 47.
Main jet: # 162 x 0.94 = # 158.

- Set the carburetor so that the engine delivers satisfactory power
with the throttle valve opened.

- If the air-fuel mixture is too lean, the engine tends to overheat and
may be seized. On the other hand, if it is too rich, the spark plug
easily gets wet and causes misfires. The proper mixture varies
depending on atmospheric conditions. Taking these conditions into
consideration, adjust the carburetor settings properly.

NOTE

Keep in mind that the carburetor components that regulate fuel
flow and the screw that control the flow of air must be tight.

The standard competition measurements EC 250 are an example.

3. Find the correction factor on the Jet Needle / Air Screw chart and
change the jet needle clip position and air screw opening as indicated.

- Jet needle clip setting: from the 3rd groove to the 2nd groove.

- Air screw opening: 1 1/2 + 1 turn = 2 1/2 turns out.

NOTE

For the following recommendations to be accurate, you must
use the standard settings as a base-line. Also do not change
any of the settings until you have determined what changes are
necessary. All specifications are based on the use of the fuel
and oil specified.

2. SUSPENSION TUNE-UP

This adjustment is very critical because if an improperly tuned
suspension will keep even the best rider from attaining the full benefit
of his machine´s ability. Check the suspension in accordance to the
rider and the terrain conditions.

- When the oil level is raised:
The spring effects become more progressive, and the front fork
action feels harder at the end of travel.
If the front suspension is making jounce stops, raise the oil level 10
mm. This increase will provoke a change in upper part of travel of
the spring.

- If the motorcycle is new, break-in the suspension with at least one
hour of riding before making any setting evaluations or changes.

- The three factors which must be considered are rider’s weight,
rider’s ability, and terrain conditions (additional influences include
the rider´s style and position on the motorcycle).

- If you have a problem, test by changing your riding posture or
position so it can be deduced.

- Adjust the suspension to match the rider´s strong points. If he is
fast through the corners, adjust the suspension to allow fast cornering.

- Make setting changes in small increments; a little bit goes a long
way, and it is very easy to overadjust a setting.

- The front and rear suspension should be balanced; when one is
changed, the other might need to be changed similarly.

- When evaluating suspension performance the rider must make
every effort to ride consistently and recognizing the effects of his
input; such things as changes in rider position and increasing fatigue
may lead to incorrect judgments about necessary setting adjustments.

- When the proper settings have been determined for a particular
terrain, the settings should be written down for later reference when
returning to the same type of terrain.

- Before making any changes and also every 5 fill-ups, lubricate the
swingarm bearings, torque rod, linkages and O-rings, this precaution
will prevent excesive friction that can affect the suspension
performance.

Front fork

The oil level is adjustable. A change in the oil level will not affect the
lower part of travel, but it will have an affect on the upper part of
travel:

- When the oil level is lowered:
The spring effects are less progressive, and the front fork action
does not become hard at the end of travel.

- Change the oil level correctly and the fork will work more at the
end of fork travel.

Oil level adjustment

Adjust the front fork oil level (refer to the maintenance chart).

Troubleshooting Improper Settings

Symptoms of the rear shock absorber:

Listed below are some symptoms of improper suspension settings
and the most likely means of correcting them.

The proper settings can be achieved by applying the information in
this chapter in a scientific manner. Take time to think about the
changes you believe necessary, check them against the symptoms
and cures described here, and make the changes in small increments,
and take notes on the changes and their effects.

Symptoms of the front fork

- The front fork is too stiff:

1. Incorrect rebound adjustment.

2. The springs are too hard.

3. Too much oil.

4. Oil too dense.

- The fork becomnes hard at the end of travel:

1. The oil level is too high.

- The fork operates but slides hard:

1. Oil too dense.

2. Degraded fork oil.

- Too soft:

The fork shakes excessively when slowing down or applying brakes

1. Fork oil level is low.

2. Springs are too soft.

3. Oil too light.

4. Degraded fork oil.

5. Incorrect rebound or compression.

- Too hard:

1. The suspension is too stiff

• Compression damping is too high.

• Spring is too hard.

2. Is hard to ride

• Unbalanced condition between the spring and rebound
(too low).

3. The spring is hard or preloaded too much

- Too soft:

On landing after a big jump, the suspension makes jounce stops.

1. Soft spring or compression damping is too soft.

2. Degraded shock absorber oil

Determining the proper settings:

- Standard Settings

From the factory, the machine is set up for an average-weight rider
with average riding abilities. Hence, if the actual rider’s weight or if
his riding experience and abilities are considerably superior or below
the average, ii is necessary to make adjustments to the suspension.

- Readjustment of the suspension:

Ground surface

Smooth Soft spring
Rough Hard spring

-

48

-

Riding experience

Front and rear compatibility:

Beginner: Soft spring with rebound.
Experienced: Harder spring.

Rider's weight

Heavy: Hard spring.
Light: Soft spring.

Type of racing circuit

- Many corners:

Lower the front end slightly (Raise the fork tubes 5 mm).This increases
agility.

- Fast course with many jumps:

Raise the fornt end slightly (Lower the fork tubes 5 mm).

- Deep potholes or sandy ground:

Raise the front end slightly to gain stability.

After making such preliminary adjustments, begin the actual on-track
testing and evaluation.

CAUTION
1- Make changes one step at a time.
2- Make sure the rider is consistent in this evaluation.
3- A change in the front suspension requires a change in the rear,
and vice versa.

Use this procedure to determine if the suspension is balanced. Place
the motorcycle upright. While standing next to the right side of the
motorcycle, hold the front brake and press the rear brake pedal firmly.
If the motorcycle maintains its level attitude as the suspension is
compressed, the spring rates are well balanced. Sit astride the
motorcycle and take a riding posture. Next check to see that the
motorcycle is in a horizontal position. If one end drops noticeably
more than the other, the front and rear are not compatible and must
be readjusted to achieve a better balance.

This is one of the most effective adjustment procedures but suspension
settings will vary depending on the conditions at the terrain and the
rider´s preferences.

Does the motorcycle skids when driving down hill or when
accelerating out of a curve?
Front fork is too soft.

1. Increase the compression or rebound damping.

2. Increase the oil level 10 mm.

3. Use a harder spring, or increase spring preload.

Does the front end tends to turn inward?
Front fork is too soft.

1. Increase the compression or rebound damping.

2. Increase the oil level 10 mm.

Does the front end slips when entering in a curve?

1. Decrease the compression or rebound damping.

2. Bleed air trapped in the fork.

3. Decrease the oil level 10-20 mm.

4. Use a softer spring.

-49-

Does the front fork fails to respond to small potholes while
managing wide turns?

Front Fork is hard:

1. Decrease the compression or rebound damping.

2. Decrease the oil level 10 mm.

3. Use softer duty spring.

Does the rear end jumps when braking over potholes?:

The shock absorber probably has too little rebound damping.

- Increase the rebound damping.

Does the rear tire lacks traction when coming out of corners?:

- The shock absorber is too hard:

1. Decrease the rear shock absorber spring.

2. Decrease the compression damping.

3. Use a softer spring.

Does it land on the front wheel in high speed jumps?:

(there may be a problem with the driver’s posture)
Rebound damping too soft or hard spring.

1. Increase the rebound damping.

2. Decrease the shock absorber spring preload.

3. Decrease the compression damping.

Does the suspension jounce stops at front and rear of the
motorcycle in high speed jumps?:

(If this occurs 1 or 2 times in the same lap of the race)
Front and rear suspension system are too soft:

1. Front: Increase the oil lever and / or use a harder spring.

2. Rear: Increase compression damping or use a harder spring.

Adjustments that depend on the conditions of the jounce stops

(rear shock absorber).

- Suspension jounce stops at low speed, increase the spring preload
to the maximum setting.

- Jounce stops after 3 or 4 successive jumps, decrease the rebound
damping.

NOTE

The rear shock absorber due to its setting possibilities may
mislead some riders.

a) The rear shock absorber does not jounce stop when the spring

is correct for the total weight of the machine and rider.

b) A jounce stop sensation of the shock absorber may be caused

by the rider’s inexperience in riding a machine with a harder
spring.

Observe the rear end while it jumps; if it does not approach the
stopper, try lowering the sping preload.

Gearshift

Select the ratio development. Preconditions:

Race conditions: vary the transmission replacing the rear pinion.
Fast race: use pinions with less teeths.
Winding road or soft or sandy uphill surface: use pinions with more
teeths.

After any adjustment, check front and rear compatibility.

NOTE

- If the straight portion of the course is long, the ratio development
can be extended and due to this the speed increases.

- When the course has many corners or uphills or is wet, the ratio
development will be reduced so that gear shifting is possible at
low speed.

-50-

- Actually, the speed can be changed depending on the terrain
conditions on the day of the race and therefore, be sure to run
through the racing circuit prior to a race and set the machine
suitable for the entire course.

- If the straight portion of a course on which the machine can be run
at maximum speed is long, the motorcycle should be set so that
the maximum machine speed can be developed towards the end
of the straight course, but care should be taken not to over-rev the
engine.

- It is very difficult to adjust the motorcycle to be best setting for all
portions of the circuit. Therefore, determine which circuit portions
will have the greatest effect on lap time and set the motorcycle for
these portions. In this manner the motorcycle will deliver best
performance for the entire circuit.

Special care according to the terrain conditions.

1. In dry, dusty conditions special care must be given to keep the

air cleaner element clean since it accumulates dirt and the engine
operates too “rich”.

FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS

PREVENTIVE ADVICE

Before you ride the motorcycle, take all the time you may require
to check your motorcycle, carry out the periodical upkeep and check
all functions. In different sections of this manual you will find data
and work specifications that must be done at an autorized GAS GAS
dealer, because of this and to extend the useful life of the motorcycle,
all periodical inspections must be carried out by specially trained
professionals at a GAS GAS Post-Sale Service Shop.

Poor maintenance work of the motorcycle or not taking proper care
of any problem, even if its is a small concern, can cause severe
personal injury and may lead to death.

SAFE RIDING OF YOUR MOTORCYCLE

Safe riding of a motorcycle does not only depend on the vehicle.
The driver’s intelligence and common sense are key factors to be
taken into consideration. It is recommended that you practice your
favorite sport wearing all the necessary safety equipment (helmet,
protection gear, boots, etc.).

2. When riding on wet heavy clay the mud adheres to the tires and

other parts of the vehicle. The mud can add significantly to the
weight of the vehicle and therefore reduce performance. Take
care so that the engine is not overheated. The same applies
when driving in deep sand.

3. In muddy or sandy conditions loosen the drive chain slack to

release its tension.

4. Check chain and sprocket - pinion wear frequently when riding

in mud or sand since wear is increased under these conditions.

WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(According to Law decree 23/2003 on the 10th of July, covering Warranties on Consumer Item Sales)

Warranty terms of the manufacturer GASGAS Motos, S.A.

The company GAS GAS MOTOS, S.A. (hereafter referred to as “GG”), with this present document guarantees the consumer,
the purchaser of a vehicle manufactured by GG, that both the materials and the manufacturing are free of defects in
accordance with the highest standards of quality. Consequently, GG with this document guarantees the consumer (hereafter
referred to as the “purchaser”), in accordance with the conditions set out below, the repair, free of charge, of any defect in
materials or that might result from faulty manufacture that is detected in a new motorcycle within the period covered by
this Warranty and with no limit on the number of kilometres covered or hours of use.

Warranty Period

The period covered by this Warranty will begin on the day of delivery of the vehicle to the purchaser by a GG authorised
dealer, or in the case of demonstration models, on the date in which the vehicle is used for the first time.
The seller will be responsible for any unwarranted faults that become apparent within the period established in the Law
decree 23/2003 on the 10th of July covering Warranties on Consumer Goods Sold from the time of delivery and in accordance

Community, the Warranty Period will be determined by the existing regulations in those countries. Nevertheless, should
the fault appear during the first six months after the delivery of the motorcycle, it will be presumed that the said fault existed
at the time of delivery; from the end of the sixth month onwards, the purchaser must demonstrate that the unwarranted
fault existed at the moment of delivery. During the first six months subsequent to the delivery of the repaired vehicle, the
seller will be responsible for any unwarranted faults arising out of the repair.
Any defects detected in the product must be brought to the attention of a GG authorised dealer within the Warranty Period.
If the last day of this period is a Sunday or an official holiday, the Warranty period will be extended such that the last day
of the period covered will be the first working day after the Sunday or official holiday.

Those claims under Warranty for defects not brought to the attention of a GG authorised dealer before the end
of the Warranty Period will be excluded.

-67-

Various

1.- GG shall have the prerogative to decide, at its own discretion, whether to repair or replace defective parts. Where parts
are replaced, ownership of the parts removed shall pass to GG without any other consideration. The GG authorised dealer,
to whom the making good of the defects has been entrusted, is not authorised to make any declarations that are binding on
GG.

2.- In case of doubt regarding the existence of a defect, or a visual or material inspection is required, GG reserves the right
to demand the return of the parts which are the object of a claim under Warranty, or to arrange an inspection of the defect
by an expert from GG. Any additional obligations arising out of guarantees on parts replaced free of charge, or any other
service rendered free of charge, are excluded from the effects of this present warranty. The Warranty on parts replaced within
the Warranty Period will end at the expiry date for the Warranty Period of the product concerned.

3.- Should it prove to be the case that a defect can not be repaired, the purchaser guaranteed shall have the right to the
cancellation of the contract (payment of compensation) or a partial refund of the purchase price (discount), instead of repairing
the motorcycle.

4.- Any claims against Warranty by the purchaser under the terms of the sale contract with the corresponding authorised
dealer shall not be affected by the terms of this present Warranty. Neither will this present Warranty affect those additional
contractual rights acquired by the purchaser under the general commercial terms and conditions of the authorised dealer.
However, such additional rights may only be exercised through claims against the authorised dealer.

5.- Should the purchaser resell the product within the Warranty Period, the duration and conditions of the present Warranty
will remain unaltered, in such a way as that the rights to make claims under the present Warranty in accordance with the
terms and conditions set out in this present document shall be transferred to the new owner of the motorcycle.
