TM sport motorcycles are designed and constructed in a manner to support the stress that may be verified in normal road and competition use. Competition motorcycles are in compliance with the regulations of the categories actually in force at the most important international motorcycling federations.

The scrupulous compliance with the established inspections, maintenance and tuning of the engine and chassis part of the motorcycle, indicated in the user manual, is indispensable for correct functioning and to prevent premature wear of the parts of the motorcycle itself. Incorrect tuning of the engine or of the chassis can also jeopardise one’s own safety and that of others.

The maintenance operations established in the “Maintenance and Lubrication” table must be carried out by a specialised TM workshop at the envisioned dates, otherwise any warranty rights will be forfeited.

When you must contact your TM Dealer for spare parts, updating requests or to signal problems, indicate the model, cylinder capacity, year of manufacture and most of all the frame number and the engine serial number

Fuels and lubricants must be those established in the user and maintenance manual and must be used as per maintenance programme. Products of other brands can be used as long as they have the equivalent specifications.

In cases of direct and consequent damage caused by tampering or modifications to the motorcycle, no legal warranty claim can be asserted.

The use of the motorcycle in extreme conditions, for example on muddy and very wet ground, may lead to greater than average wear of components, such as transmission components or the brakes. It is therefore possible that maintenance or replacement of some parts is necessary before the limit normally envisioned by the maintenance programme.

MX AND SMX MODELS CANNOT BE USED ON PUBLIC ROADS.

The 250, 450 and 530 models in the END, SMR and SMM versions can be used on roads only in the unvaried type-approved version (reduced). Without this power limitation (i.e. reduced) these models can only be used off-the-road, but not on public roads. The END models have been designed for off-the-road resistance competitions (Enduro) and are not suitable for Motocross.

The hand decompressor lever (2) is on the left side of the handlebar, and is used when, after a fall or following overheating, the engine is difficult to start-up when warm. To ventilate the engine, pull the decompressor lever during starting. The lever must always have a play of about 10 mm measured between the lever and support, before starting to open theexhaust valves. The time of opening is recognised by greater resistance of the lever (see “Frame and Engine Maintenance” chapter).

In the models with battery and electric ignition, a two-button command is found at the side of the throttle command, one button is red, the other black. The red button (1) has two positions. Positioned inwards, it interrupts contact with the battery, removing the current from all services consumers/ancilleries. The engine will not start even with the pedal.

It is advised to leave it like this until the engine is started-up again, otherwise the battery will go flat.

On these models, position it like this to switch the engine off.

Positioned outwards, it closes the contact with the battery , enables the use of all services, including electric starter. For this reason, never leave it like this with the engine switched off, otherwise the ignition control unit, which absorbs current even when the engine is switched off, can make the battery flat. The black button (2) activates the starter. Press to startup the engine and release once running. Activate this command for a maximum of 8/10 sec. at a time and wait a few seconds before re-trying. Do not insist for more than 3/4 times: look for the probable fault. Never press this button when the engine is running.

This command is located on the left side of the motorcycle.

For MIKUNI carburetors

By extracting the choke knob (1) as far as possible, a passage is opened in the carburetor, through which the engine can suck additional fuel. In this way, a “rich” air-fuel mix is obtained. This is necessary for starting the engine when it is cold. T o disconnect the command, push the choke knob inwards to its original position.

For KEIHIN carburetors

Extract the knob and turn it clockwise to block it. To disconnect it, turn anticlockwise.

This command is found on the right side of the motor cycle.. By pulling the by-pass knob (1) forward as far as possible, a hole is opened in the feeding pipe, through which the engine can suck an additional amount of air not mixed with fuel. The result is a “lean” airfuel mix. This is required for starting the engine when it is flooded or particularly overheated. As soon as the engine is running, push the knob to return it to its normal position.

This command is found on the handlebar, near to the right handlebar grip. By turning the by-pass lever (1) as far as possible, a hole is opened in the feeding pipe, through which the engine can suck an additional amount of air not mixed with fuel. The result is a “lean” air-fuel mix. This is required for starting of the engine when it is flooded or particularly overheated. As soon as the engine is running, turn the lever to return it to its normal position.

- Carefully read all user instructions before making the first journey.

- Become familiar with all operating controls.

- Adjust the clutch lever, the front brake lever and the brake pedal so that they are in the most comfortable position.

- Get used to driving in an empty carpark or on land where it is easy to handle the motorcycle before making a long journey. Also try to move at a slow pace on foot to get used to the motorcycle.

- Do not take routes that are too difficult for your driving ability and experience.

- On the road, hold the handlebar with both hands and leave your feet on the footrests.

- Be careful not to push the brake pedal if you do not wish to brake. If the brake pedal is not released, the brake pads rub continuously and the brake overheats

- Do not modify the motorcycle and always use ORIGINAL TM SPARE PARTS. Spare parts made by other manufacturers can jeopardise the safety of the motorcycle.

- Motorcycles are sensitive to the movement of weight. When carrying luggage, fix it as near as possible to the centre of the motorcycle and distribute the weight equally between the front and rear wheel.

- Follow running in instructions.

RUNNING IN INSTRUCTIONSRUNNING IN INSTRUCTIONS

The surfaces of components of a new motorcycle, even if they undergo precision workings, are however less smooth than the same components in a motorcycle that have been driven for a time: this explains the necessity for running in the new engine. T o obtain an optimal bedding of the moving part s of a new engine, it must be taken to produce maximum performance gradually. For this reason, during the first 3 hours of use (1 hour for competition use) the engine must only be used up to max. 50% of its power. Moreover, the number of revs. must not exceed 7000/min. In the following 5 hours of use (1 hour for competition use) the engine can be used up to max. 75% of its power. Drive the motorcycle in different conditions (road, easy off-road tracts). Do not make long journeys without ever closing the throttle. By following these regulations, you will obtain maximum performance and longer duration of the motorcycle through time.

To use the motorcycle safely, it must be in a good shape. It is a good idea to carry out a general check-up of the motorcycle before every start-up. This check must include the following operations:

1 LEVEL OF ENGINE OIL

To ensure adequate lubrication, the level of the oil in the engine must be kept within the envisioned limits. Using the engine with the oil level below minimum leads to premature wear and successively, to damage and risks to the driver.

2 FUEL

If the motorcycle does not have a transparent tank, open the tank cap and visually check the quantity of fuel contained in the tank. Reclose the tank, making sure that the open vent pipe is not bent and so impeding the flow of air.

3 CHAIN

The drive chain must always be tensioned corretly and well lubricated.

A loose chain knocks and may escape from the sprockets.

A too tight chain wears early and may cause wear and brakage of some important transmission components.

4 TYRES

Check for any damage. T yres with cuts or swellings must be replaced immediately.

Check the depth of the tread which must correspond to the law.

Finally, check the air pressure and take it to the values envisioned in the table, if necessary. Worn tread and unsuitable air pressure worsen driving of the motorcycle and may cause loss of control and serious accidents.

5 BRAKES

Verify correct working. Check the level of brake fluid. The reservoir on the pumps are dimensioned in a way that in case of normally worn brake pads the fluid does not need to be topped-up. If the level of brake fluid falls below the minimum level, this indicates a leak in the brake system or complete consumption of the brake pads. Have the brake system checked by a specialised TM workshop, given that in this case the brakes could fail.

The state of the brake’s flexible pipes and the thickness of the pads

must also be checked. Check the free play and the smoothness of the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal.

6 FLEXIBLE CABLE COMMANDS

Check the adjustment and correct working of all flexible cable commands .

7 COOLANT

Check the level of coolant with cold engine. Top-up with the liquid stated in the table, if necessary.

8 ELECTRICAL PLANT

With the engine running, check for the front headlight, the front and rear position lights, the rear stopping light, the direction indicator lights, the control lights and the horn.

9 LUGGAGE

Check that any luggage is well fixed.
