Note
If it proves difficult to change the brake pads, first remove the callipers from the motorcycle (Sect. 7 - 4, Removal of the
rear brake calliper).
Warning
Being the brake callipers a security component of the vehicle, follow instructions indicated in Sect. 7 - 3, Removal of the
front brake system and Sect. 7 - 4, Removal of the rear brake calliper, and pay attention, during the refitting, to the
tightening torque (Sect. 3 - 3,
Frame torque settings) of the fixing screws of the callipers.
Adjusting the throttle cable
The throttle grip in all steering positions must have free play, measured on the periphery of the flange of the grip, of 2 ÷
4 mm.
If necessary, adjust the free play with the adjuster (1) located on the twistgrip.
Major adjustments of the throttle cable are possible by working adjuster (2) located on throttle body right-hand side.
Remove the gaiter, loosen the lock nut (3) and work adjuster (2) to set the required play.
Tighten the lock nut and refit the gaiter.
The condition of the throttle cable and choke cable sheaths should be checked at regular intervals. The plastic covering
should show no signs of pinching or cracking.
Lubricate the ends of the throttle control cables with the prescribed grease periodically to ensure they run freely.
Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly inside the outer cable: if you feel excessive resistance or
stiffness, renew the cable.
To lubricate throttle cable, undo the two screws (5) and remove the upper half of the twistgrip housing (4).
