4 BIKE USAGE
4.1 Maintenance
Do not use high-pressure water or air hoses for cleaning. It can force water into electric
components, which may cause malfunctioning.
Do not wash plastic components with excessive water. When the internal electrical parts are
infected with water, the insulator may corrode which leads to power-drain or other problems.
Do not use soap solutions to wash the plastic components. Non-neutral solutions may cause
color change, distortion, scratching etcetera.
Avoid leaving the bike outdoors.
When not riding, keep the bike in a location where it will be protected from snow, rain, sun etc.
Snow and rain can cause the bike to corrode. The ultraviolet from the sun can fade the paint or
crack any rubber or plastic on the bike. The carbon and anodized aluminium will fade if left out
exposed to the sun.
NOTE: The following maintenance checks should be performed after the first 5 rides and again
after every 15 rides or 6 months, whichever measurable occurs first.
➢ Check the M6 Socket head cap screws (6) on the rear frame clamp to ensure they are
sufficiently tight (7.8 Nm or 5.75 lbft torque)
➢ Check the M8 socket countersunk head screws (16) on the rear system mount to ensure
they are sufficiently tight (19.1 Nm or 14.09 lbft torque)
➢ Check all screws involved in the seat plate adjustment and footrest adjustment to
ensure they are sufficiently tight
➢ Check the M8 flat head screws (6) on the front of the articulation to ensure they are
sufficiently tight (19.1 Nm or 14.09 lbft torque)
➢ Check the tire pressure of all wheels referring to the manufacturer specifications on the
side of the tire to ensure adequate levels for your riding environment
➢ Check shock pressure referring to the shock User Manual provided with the bike to
achieve accurate levels
