29.15 Plain bearings and bearings
in full-suspension frames, suspen-
sion forks and other suspension
parts
All suspension parts are subject to strong
forces. The same applies for the bearings con-
tained within them. This results in high wear
levels.
Therefore:
• Regularly check that all suspension parts
are working correctly and are secure.
• Carefully read the enclosed instructions
from the manufacturer. Adhere to the care
instructions which the manufacturer pro-
vides. You will also find some useful infor-
mation via the list of links in chapter 31.
• If you have any other questions, your FLYER
retailer will be happy to advise you.
30.1 Inspection plan
30.1.1 Servicing/checks
After riding 200 kilometres after purchase
and then at least once a year, you should have
a specialist retailer carry out a full service
check.
The following parts have to be checked:
• Tyres and wheels.
As well as the torque of the following parts:
• Handlebars,
• Pedals,
• Crankset,
• Seat,
• Seat post and
• Attachment screws.
And the following components should be set up:
• Headset,
• Gear system,
• Brakes,
• Suspension parts.
After approximately 200 kilometres ridden or
four to six weeks, have the first inspection of
your pedelec carried out by a specialist. This
is necessary as the spokes bed in during the
first few kilometres, while the brake and gear
cables extend and the bearings wear in. In ad-
dition, you honour your warranty agreement by
undergoing an inspection.
• You should clean your pedelec after every
ride and look for any damage.
• An initial inspection has to be carried out by
the specialist retailer.
• Check that all screws, nuts and quick re-
leases are secure. This should then be car-
ried out every 300 - 500 km or every three to
six months.
• Clean your pedelec on a regular basis.
• All moving parts (excluding the brake sur-
faces) have to be greased.
• You should have damage to the paintwork
and any rust patched.
• All bare metal parts (excluding the brake
surfaces) should be treated to combat any
corrosion (rust).
• Defective and damaged parts have to be re-
placed.
