Info

Even if there is no load on the battery, it still loses power steadily.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid charging with a high charging current has a negative impact on the service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes via the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the vehicle is started repeatedly until the battery is depleted, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will drain completely and sulfate, destroying the battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, which means that the acid level does not need to be checked.

Cylinder - Nikasil® coating
19.17

Nikasil® is a surface protection layer for a coating procedure developed by Mahle. The
name is derived from the two materials used in this procedure - a layer of nickel into
which is embedded the particularly hard silicone carbide.
The most important advantages of the Nikasil® coating are very good heat conductivity,
resulting in much improved performance, low wear, and a lightweight cylinder.

Choke
21.1

The choke  is fitted on the left side of the carburetor.
Activating the choke function frees an opening through which the engine can draw
extra fuel. This gives a richer fuel-air mixture, which is needed for a cold start.

Info
If the engine is warm, the choke function must be deactivated.

If there is a large increase in the engine speed, reduce the idle speed to a
normal level and repeat the above steps.
The extremely sporty rider will set the mixture about 1/4 of a turn back from
this ideal value (leaner, clockwise) since the engine has a higher operating
temperature in sporting use.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the
cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle adjusting screw to the end without any change of
engine speed, you have to fit a smaller idling jet.
The idle adjusting screw must not be opened more than two turns. If more
than two turns are necessary (rich mixture), use a larger idling jet.
After changing the idling jet, start from the beginning with the adjusting
steps.

215

Cleaning the vehicle
37.1

Note
Material damage Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment.
–

Never clean the vehicle with high-pressure cleaning equipment or a strong water-jet. The excessive pressure can penetrate electrical components, socket connects, throttle cables, and bearings, etc., and can damage or destroy these parts.

Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–

Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.

If you clean the vehicle regularly, its value and appearance are maintained over a long period.
Avoid direct sunshine on the vehicle during cleaning.

Info

Do not rest the vehicle on its rear frame bracket to clean it as it could fall over.
Never lift the vehicle by yourself, even if a gear is engaged.
Fuel can emerge from the fuel tank.

–

Seal the exhaust system to keep water out.

–

First remove coarse dirt particles with a gentle spray of water.

–

Spray very dirty areas with a normal motorcycle cleaner and then clean with a brush.
Motorcycle cleaner (

p. 226)

Info

Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge.

–

After rinsing the vehicle with a gentle spray of water, allow it to dry thoroughly.

–

Clean and dry the air filter box.

–

Drain the carburetor float chamber. (

p. 164)

Warning

Danger of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to wet or dirty brakes.
–

–

Clean or dry dirty or wet brakes by riding and braking gently.

After cleaning, ride a short distance until the engine reaches operating temperature.

Info

The heat produced causes water at inaccessible locations in the engine and the brakes to evaporate.

–

Push back the protection covers of the handlebar grips to allow any water that has penetrated to evaporate.

–

After the vehicle has cooled off, oil or grease all moving parts and bearings.

–

Clean the chain. (

–

Treat bare metal parts (except for brake discs and exhaust system) with corrosion's materials.

p. 75)

Cleaning and preserving materials for metal, rubber and plastic (

–

p. 225)

Treat all plastic parts and undercoated parts with a mild cleaning and care product.

STORAGE

216

Storage
38.1

Warning
Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
–

Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel. Store fuel in a suitable canister according
to regulations and keep it out of the reach of children.

Before storing the vehicle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you should
do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the start
of the new season.

–

Clean the vehicle. (

–

Change the engine oil and oil filter, clean the oil screen. (

–

Check the antifreeze and coolant level. (

–

Drain the fuel from the tank into a suitable container.

–

Drain the carburetor float chamber. (

–

Check the tire air pressure. (

Guideline

Storage temperature of battery without direct sunshine

0… 35 °C (32… 95 °F)

–

Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in temperature.

–

Cover the vehicle with a tarp or cover that is permeable to air.

Info

Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine of a vehicle in storage for a short time only. Because the engine will not warm up sufficiently, the
water vapor produced during combustion will condense, causing engine parts and the exhaust system to rust.

Putting the vehicle into operation after storage
38.2

–

Install the battery. (

–

Fill up with fuel.

–

Checks before putting into operation

–

Make a cautious test ride.

240

JASO T903 MA
Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the foreground for motorcycle engines. With most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the same oil as the engine. The
JASO MA Standard meets these special requirements.

SAE

The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their viscosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
