If the motorcycle is not in use for any length of time, remove the battery, store it
in a dry place and give it as much care as you would if it were in operation, i.e.
check the density, top up with distilled water and recharge. It is advisable, at least
every 2 months, to discharge it by one half down to 1.8V per cell and recharge it
to its full capacity using 0.5 Amps current on both occasions. When fitting the
battery to the motorcycle connect its plus pole to the frame. A wrongly connected
battery would result in the fuse and rectifier burning out and also result in heavy
discharge of the battery thereby damaging its cells and separators. Keep the
battery terminals clean. A light grease coating will protect the terminals from
corrosion by the acid.
The headlamp beam is adjusted by tipping the reflector by means of the adjusting
button in the top portion of the head-lamp rim. After releasing (loosening) the
button push it forwards (backwards) as long as the headlamp beam is regulated.
Having correctly set up the headlamp beam tighten again the adjusting button.
9. DECARBONISATION
After the first 3000 km. (2000 miles) clean the exhaust silencer cores. Clean again
after every 5000 km (3000 miles) at the latest. Unscrew the fastening screw with
the nut from the side of the silencer rear end and remove the short rear tube.
Using a suitably bent piece of wire or the hook spanner for silencer nuts pull out
the inner tube and clean both. thoroughly to remove all carbon deposits. It is
recommended to remove carbon deposits from the engine and exhaust silencers
every 5000 to 10000 km. (3000 to 6000 miles) (for dismantling instructions see
Part III, para 6). Burnt fuel residues (carbon deposits) cause a drop in the engine
output as well as excessive heating of the engine.
