Cleaning and Maintenance
· Remove any excess lubricant from the chain
using a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
- Clean the wheel rims and brake disks using a suit-
able degreasing product (consult your vendor).
Do not use motorcycle chain lu-
bricants on your bicycle as this
will cause the chain and gear
change components to jam. Use
ONLY lubricants that are speci-
cally indicated for bicycle chains.
- Manually remove any remaining dirt using a
clean, lint-free cotton cloth and a suitable de-
tergent.
- Spray the entire bicycle using a wax spray or
similar protective product.
- Wait until the reaction time indicated on the
specic product has elapsed, the polish your
bicycle using a clean, lint-free cotton cloth.
- Clean the brake disks manually, using a clean,
dry lint-free cotton cloth and a suitable de-
greasing product.
The presence of wax spray or
other protective products on
the brake disks will signicantly
reduce the braking eciency of
your bicycle.
Clean the brake disks using a
suitable degreasing product.
Consult the vendor.
- The following components must not be treat-
ed with protective products:
- brake shoes;
- brake disks;
- hand grips, brake and gear change levers;
- saddle;
- tyres.
4. PARKING YOUR BICYCLE
When the bicycle is resting on its
stand or against a wall, fence or
railings, even the slightest con-
tact may cause it to tip over. This
may result in injuries to persons
or animals and damage to prop-
erty.
Park your bicycle only in a posi-
tion where it does not constitute
an obstacle.
Keep children and animals
away from the bicycle when it is
parked.
Do not park your bicycle close to
objects that are easily damaged,
such as motor vehicles, etc.
How to park your bicycle correctly:
- Position the bicycle on a at, stable surface.
- When the bicycle is stationary, lower the stand
using your right foot until it clicks into place.
- Rotate the handlebars so that they are facing
slightly to the left.
- Gently tilt the bicycle to the left until it reaches
a stable position.
- Check that the bicycle is stable.
- Hold the bicycle still with one hand by grasp-
ing it lightly by the handlebars or the saddle
and, using the other hand, strike it gently in
either direction in the area of the saddle. If it
seems that the bicycle may fall over, move it to
a more stable position.
To park it without using the stand:
- Position the bicycle on a at, stable surface.
- Lean the rear wheel or saddle against a stable
object.
- Rotate the handlebars so that they are facing in
the direction in which the bicycle is leaning.
- Ensure that the bicycle is stationary and stable.
If it seems that the bicycle may fall over, posi-
tion it elsewhere and/or in another manner.
5. UNSCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
5.a - Removing and remounting the
wheels units
- It is necessary to remove the wheel units when
repairing tyres or other wheel components.
It may also be useful when transporting the bi-
cycle (for example: in the boot of your car).
It is absolutely essential to de-
ate the tyres when transporting
the bicycle in a car or any other
motor vehicle!
5.b - Removing the front wheel
- Pull the eccentric lever so that it moves away
from the wheel hub. The lever can be rotated
by approx. 180° around its axis (g. “65“).
- Push the lever towards the hub to “hook it” to
the ring groove (g. “66“).
- Rotate the eccentric lever in order to unscrew
the axle pin and extract it from the wheel hub
(g. “67“).
- Remove the complete wheel from the fork
(g. “68“).
