Check the cush-drive rubbers rubbers in the rear wheel hub (EGS)*
Some of the LC4 models have a cush-drive rear wheel hub. In this case, the
engine power is conveyed from the rear sprocket via 6 cush-drive rubbers
1 to
the rear wheel. These 6 cush-drive rubbers wear with increased operation time,
and should be checked for wear whenever the rear wheel is dismounted.
For this purpose, lie the rear wheel on a work bench with the sprocket facing
upwards, and place the sprocket carrier into the hub. Now hold the rear wheel
firmly and try to turn the sprocket. The sprocket may not turn more than a maxi-
mum of 5 mm (0,2 in) measured from the outside edge of sprocket. If freeplay in
the sprocket is greater, all 6 cush-drive rubbers are to be replaced.
Check the cush-drive rubbers for signs of damage and contamination.

Tires, air pressure
Tire type, tire condition, and air pressure level affect the way your motorcycle
rides, and they must therefore be checked whenever you are getting ready to go
anywhere on your motorcycle.
– Tire size can be found in the technical specifications and in their homologation
certificate
– Tire condition has to be checked every time you want to ride your motorcycle.
Before leaving, check tires for punctures and nails or other sharp objects that
might have become embedded in them.
Refer to the specific regulations in your country for minimum tire tread requi-
rements. We recommend you replace the tires at the latest when the tread is
down to 2 mm.
– Tire pressure should be checked regularly on a “cold” tire. Proper pressure
ensures optimum driving comfort and extends the life of your tires.
