Greater cross over makes the suspension at the front softer and the front of the vehicle lies lower. The suspension travel and
the progressive part of the long (hard) spring are not fully utilized.
Less cross over makes the suspension at the front harder and the front of the vehicle lies higher.

The securing clip must be positioned entirely within the cut-out of the
spring retainer.
The spring pack should never be installed loosely (without preload). The
standard setting is the lowest permissible spring preload. Therefore, you can
only increase the spring preload.
If you increase the spring preload, you should also slightly increase the

Warning
Risk of injuryBattery acid and battery gases cause serious cauterization.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.
Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.
Keep the battery away from sparks or open fire. Charge only in well ventilated rooms.
In the event of skin contact, rinse with large amounts of water. If battery acid gets in the eyes, rinse with water for at least
15 minutes and contact a doctor.
Switch off all power-consuming components and switch off the engine.

Keep the battery away from sparks or open fire. Charge only in well ventilated rooms.
In the event of skin contact, rinse with large amounts of water. If battery acid gets in the eyes, rinse with water for at least
15 minutes and contact a doctor.
Warning
Environmental hazardComponents and battery acid are a danger to the environment.
Do not dispose of batteries in normal household waste. Take defective or used batteries to a battery recycling operator.
Warning
Info
Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Fast recharging with a high charge current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charge current, the charge voltage and the charge time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the breathing holes.
The battery capacity is then reduced.
If the battery is discharged from starting, it must be recharged immediately.
If it stands for a long time in a discharged state, the battery becomes over-discharged and sulfated, and then it is destroyed.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.
Disconnect the minus (negative) cable of the battery to avoid damage to the vehicle's electronics.
Connect the battery charger to the battery. Switch on the battery charger.
P. 57)
Battery charger(58429074000)
You can also use the battery charger to test rest potential and start potential of the

Info
Never remove the lid.
Charge the battery according to the instructions on the battery casing.
Switch off the charger after charging. Disconnect the battery.

Nikasil is a surface protection layer for a coating procedure developed by the Mahle
company. The name is derived from the two materials used in this procedure - a layer
of nickel into which is embedded the particularly hard silicone carbide.
The most important advantages of the Nikasil coating are very good heat conductivity,
resulting in much improved performance, low wear, and a lightweight cylinder.

If the idle speed is set significantly higher, the engine does not start. When
the electric starter button is activated, the electric starter turns over the

this ideal value (leaner, in a clockwise direction) since the engine becomes
hotter in sporting use.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the
cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle adjusting screw to the end without any change of
engine speed, you have to fit a smaller idling jet.

Do not open the radiator, radiator hoses or other cooling system components when the engine is hot. Allow the engine and
cooling system to cool down. If you scald yourself, hold the affected area under cold water immediately.
Warning
Danger of poisoningCoolants are poisonous and a health hazard.
Avoid contact between coolants and skin, eyes and clothing. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with water and
contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If coolant is swallowed, contact a doctor
immediately. Change clothes that have come into contact with coolants. Keep coolants out of the reach of children.
Remove the radiator cap.
Check antifreeze of coolant.

CLEANING
37
Cleaning the vehicle
37.1
Note
Material damageDamage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment.
Never clean the vehicle with high-pressure cleaning equipment or a strong water-jet. The excessive pressure can penetrate electrical components, connects, Bowden cables, and bearings, etc., and can damage or destroy these parts.
Warning
Info
If you clean the vehicle regularly, its value and appearance are maintained over a long period.
Avoid direct sunshine on the vehicle during cleaning.
Info
Do not place the vehicle onto the rear frame bracket to clean it since it could fall over.
Never raise the vehicle on your own, even if a gear is engaged.
Fuel can leak out of the fuel tank.
Before you clean the vehicle, seal the exhaust system to prevent penetration by water.
First remove coarse dirt particles with a gentle water spray.
Spray very dirty areas with a normal motorcycle cleaner and then clean with a paintbrush.
Motorcycle cleaner (
P. 206)
Info
Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge.
After rinsing the vehicle with a gentle water spray, allow it to dry thoroughly.
Clean and dry the air filter box.
Empty the carburetor float chamber. (
P. 159)
Warning
Danger of accidentsReduced braking due to wet or dirty brakes.
Clean or dry dirty or wet brakes by riding and braking gently.
After cleaning, ride the vehicle a short distance until the engine warms up, and then apply the brakes.
Info
The heat produced causes water at inaccessible positions in the engine and the brakes to evaporate.
Push back the protection covers on the handlebar instruments to allow water to evaporate.
After the vehicle has cooled off, oil or grease all moving parts and bearings.
Clean the chain. (
Treat bare metal parts (except for brake discs and exhaust system) with anti-corrosion materials.
P. 61)
Cleaning and polishing materials for metal, rubber and plastic (
Treat all painted parts with a mild paint polish.

High-luster polish for paint (

Storage
38.1
Warning
Info
If you want to store the vehicle for a longer period, take the following actions.
Info
Before storing the vehicle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you should
do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the start
of the new season.
Clean the vehicle. (
Change the engine oil and oil filter, clean the oil screens. (
Check the antifreeze and coolant level. (
Drain the fuel from the tank into a suitable container.
Empty the carburetor float chamber. (
Remove the battery. (
Recharge the battery. (

Specification
Storage temperature of battery without direct sunshine.
0 35C (32 95F)
The storage place should be dry and not subject to large temperature differences.
Cover the vehicle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus
causing corrosion.
Info
Avoid running the engine of a vehicle in storage for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water
vapor produced during combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.
Putting the vehicle into operation after storage

JASOT903MA
Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles the JASO T903 MA Standard. Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the foreground for motorcycle engines. With most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the oil as the engine. The JASO
MA Standard meets these special requirements.
SAE
The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their viscosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
