Lubricating the chain
When to lubricate?
Lubricate your chain before storing for a
long period, after it has been in contact
with water, after washing your Azteca, after
a muddy off-road ride, or after about 250
km of use in normal conditions.
The chain should be lubricated with a bike
specific lubricant. Do not use grease or
motor oil.
Your local bike dealer can recommend the
best type of lubricant for your chain based
on your location and your type of riding.
How to proceed
Apply a small amount of lubricant over the
full length of the chain by gently pouring
it over the chain while slowly rotating the
pedals counterclockwise.
Let the lubricant penetrate the chain links
for a few minutes and remove excess
lubricant on the outside of the chain with
a cloth. This will prevent dust or sand from
sticking to the chain and keep it running
smooth.
Be careful not to put lubricant on brake
system components such as the disc brake
pads or rotors, or the rim’s sidewalls as this
could negatively affect braking performance.
If you accidently do, promptly clean the
component with rubbing alcohol on a cloth
(Warning: Do not use car brake cleaner or
degreaser on disc brake systems).
Washing your Azteca
Keeping your Azteca clean is an easy and
simple way to keep it performing well and
looking great!
To wash your Azteca
1.
Remove the battery if your Azteca
is equipped with an electric power
assistance system.
2. Find a clear dust-free location.
3.
Fill a bucket with warm water and add a
bit of biodegradable dishwashing liquid
or other soft soap.
4.
Clean transmission components such
as chain, sprockets, and chain rings first
with degreaser using specially designed
brushes or a dedicated cloth.
5.
Thoroughly wash the frame and
components from top to bottom with
soapy water using a soft brush.
6.
Rinse with water at low pressure (Do
not use a pressure washer as it can get
water into sealed components).
7.
Dry the chain with a clean cloth and
re-lubricate it before letting it air dry.
Never apply degreaser or lubricant on
disc rotors or brake pads. If degreaser
or lubricant gets on the brake pads, they
may need to be replaced.
If needed disc rotors should only be
cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on a
clean cloth. Do not use car brake cleaner
fluid.
Electrical Cables
- Check electrical cable connectors to make
sure they are fully seated and free from
debris or moisture.
- Check cables and cable housing for signs
of damage.
- Check all cables are secured away from
moving parts.
- Check headlight, rear light, are functioning
and unobstructed.
