CAUTION:
If you ever need to weld anything on the bike, disconnect the spark plug cap,
unplug the ignition, disconnect the kill switch, scrape the paint bare near the area
to be welded and put the ground clamp as close to the area to be welded as
possible.
Be sure the fuel tank and carburetor have been removed and safely located
away from the welding process.
The frame is a combination of HSLA steel and 4130 Chrome Moly and it is
important to weld it with the proper rod and heat settings set as light as possible.
Cobra recommends replacing the frame with a new one if the old one becomes
damaged. Use ER70S6 filler if welding on the frame.
Replacing Transmission / Clutch Lubricant
Tools needed:
18 oz, of high quality transmission oil, or Cobra clutch milk
8 mm Allen wrench
CAUTION:
General automotive motor oil has frictional modifiers which will cause premature
wear and failure of the clutch.
Procedure:
1. Begin this procedure with a bike that has been ridden more than 5 minutes
but less than 10 minutes. It is desired to have the engine warm enough so
that the oil is ‘runny’ but not so hot that there is risk of being burned by the
engine or the oil.
Hot oil and hot components on the
motorcycle may cause burns.
2. Lean the bike against something or
set on stand with oil drain hole.
3. Using a 8mm Allen wrench, remove
the oil drain bolt located on the
right side of the engine, on the
clutch cover, near the brake lever
(See Figure 1).
NOTE: You may need to adjust the
brake pedal (up or down) to gain
access to the drain bolt.
