Usage and Setup
Pre-Ride Inspection
• Check safety critical screws for
correct torque [See pg. 32]
• Check engine oil level - Oil level to be
located between the “maximum” and
“minimum” indicators [See pg. 9].
• Check coolant level - Coolant should
be visible at the bottom of the radiator ll
tting when the radiator cap is removed
[See pg. 13].
• Check tire pressure in warm condition
(with tire warmers on)
Set to 2.3 bar (33 PSI) in the front tire and
1.65 bar (24 PSI) in the rear (Pirelli Superbike
Slick SC1 Tires). Tire temperature should be
75-85°C (167-185°F) while checking. Tire
warmers should always be used.
• Check fuel level - Recommended race fuel
amount is approximately 7.0 L (1.85 US gal)
per 20 minutes of riding time. Maximum fuel
capacity is 16 L (4.2 US gal).
• Check the chain tension [See pg. 10]
• Inspect suspension components (forks,
rear shock, linkage) for leaks, excessive
wear, or any looseness [See pg. 21].
• Let the engine run up to 80°C (176°F),
during which the throttle should not be
turned.
• Check the oil cooler connections
A
for outcoming oil drops.
(a thin oil lm is acceptable)
Vehicle Break-in Procedure
Following the rst outing
(15-20 minutes):
• Screws should be checked for the correct
torque [See pg. 32] and general
condition.
• Bleed the front brakes [See pg. 19].
For the rst 100 km (62 miles)
• Do not exceed 70% of full brake pressure.
For the rst 200 km (124 miles)
• Do not exceed 10500 rpm.
After the rst day
• Change engine oil and lters.
Post-Race Service
After each race weekend or 5 hours ride time,
whichever comes rst:
• Remove and clean the fairing
[See pg. 15]
• Thoroughly clean the motorcycle
(frame, tank, swingarm, fenders and rims)
• Replace engine oil and oil lters [See pg. 9]
• Bleed the front and rear brake
[See pg. 19]
• Perform chain maintenance
[See pg. 10]
Post-Crash Inspection
1. Remove the entire fairing (including the Intake Cover/Air
Filter Box) [See pg. 15].
2. Disassemble the air lter and check for any blemishes/dirt
within the air lter box and air lter [See pg. 11].
3. Thoroughly clean the fairing and all exposed areas of the
motorcycle while checking for damage.
4. Replace any damaged parts with new ones.
5. Inspect Suspension [See pg. 21] .
Loosen the front axle pinch bolts and bottom triple
clamp bolts. Compress the front forks several times, to
insure functionality, before re-tightening every bolt to the
appropriate torque speci cations.
6. Check the speed sensors and sensor rings for any
damages.
7. Clean and lubricate the chain [See pg. 10].
8. Check the coolant level [See pg. 13].
9. Check the engine oil level [See pg. 9].
After crash the oil level may appear low, start engine, run
for 15 seconds, stop engine, and check level.
Typical crash damage to inspect:
- Front forks
- Handlebars
- Crash pads
- Crash pad frame mounting plates
- Rear set
- Shift & brake linkages
- Debris trapped between the linkages
CAUTION!
Danger of scalding
During motorcycle operation, the coolant
gets very hot and is under pressure.
– Do not open the radiator or other
cooling system components if the engine
or the cooling system are at operating
temperature.
– Allow the cooling system to cool down
before inspecting or servicing.
