INTRODUCTION
This publication is intended for workshops specialised in repairing mopeds and motorcycles. Where required, use special Betamotor tools. Use Betamotor spare parts only. For their codes refer to the spare parts manual for the specific vehicle or version. The warranty and liability on vehicle safety lapses when maintenance or repairs: · Are NOT performed by workshops specialised in repairing mopeds and motorcycles; · Are NOT carried out carefully following the requirements contained in the technical documentation; · Are NOT carried out using special Betamotor tools, where required; · Are NOT carried out using Betamotor official spare parts.
Carefully read this manual in its entirety before working on the engine. Good knowledge of all components making up the engine and all the procedures to be followed for inspection and maintenance help extend the life of the engine. The paragraphs feature schematic illustrations highlighting each topic in order to make the text immediately understandable.
Informative note
Betamotor S.p.A. is committed to a policy of ongoing improvement of its products. This is why you might notice slight differences between the content of this document and the vehicle on which you are about to carry out repairs and/or maintenance. Betamotor S.p.A. models are exported to a number of countries where there are different rules concerning the Highway Code and vehicle type-approval procedures. Betamotor S.p.A. therefore reserves the right to modify its products and technical documentation at any time without prior notice, thank you for your understanding.
We respect and defend the environment
Everything we do has an impact on the whole Planet and its Resources. To safeguard the interests of the entire Community, Betamotor S.p.A. would like to raise the awareness of customers and technical service operators on ways of using the vehicle and disposing of its parts entirely in compliance with applicable regulations in terms of environmental pollution, waste disposal and recycling.

SAFETY
Carbon monoxide
· Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which
is poisonous. Carbon monoxide may cause loss of consciousness and lead to death. If the engine needs to be started, make sure the location is well-ventilated. Never start the engine indoors.
· The engine can be started indoors only if fitted
with the appropriate exhaust gas extraction devices.
Petrol
· Petrol is extremely flammable and can be ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
· Keep sources of heat, sparks and flames away
from the work area.
· Always work in a well-ventilated area.
· Never use petrol as a solvent for cleaning. Do
not handle it unless strictly necessary.
· Never use petrol to clean components by means
of compressed air.
· Keep out of the reach of children.

Engine oil
· Motor oil can cause skin conditions if it remains
in contact with the skin often and for prolonged periods.
· In case of contact with engine oil, wash with
soap and water as soon as possible.
· In case of contact with the eyes, rinse them
with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
· If swallowed, do not induce vomiting in order
to prevent the product from entering into the lungs; seek immediate medical advice. If you believe the product has entered the lungs, take the person concerned to hospital immediately.
· Waste oil contains dangerous substances that
are harmful for the environment. In order to change it one must be equipped for disposal, in compliance with applicable laws.
· Do not discard waste oil into the environment.
· Keep out of the reach of children.

INTRODUCTION

www.betamotor.com

Coolant liquid
· In some situations, the ethylene glycol con-
tained in the coolant is flammable and its flame is invisible. Should ethylene glycol catch fire, it can cause burns even though its flame is invisible.
· Do not bring the coolant into contact with hot
parts. These parts could be hot enough to cause the liquid to ignite.
· The coolant (ethylene glycol) may irritate the
skin and is poisonous if swallowed.
· Should the coolant come into contact with the
skin, immediately remove contaminated clothing or footwear and wash with soap and water. In the event of contact with the eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice immediately. Should it be swallowed, do not induce vomiting in order to prevent the product from entering the lungs. Administer clean water, immediately take the person concerned to hospital, and show this product to hospital staff.
· In the event of exposure to a high concentra-
tion of vapours, move the person concerned to an uncontaminated area and seek medical advice if necessary.

· Do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is still hot. Since the coolant is pressurised, it may spurt out violently and cause burns.
· The coolant contains dangerous substances
that are harmful for the environment. In order to change it one must be equipped for disposal in compliance with applicable laws.
· Do not disperse coolant into the environment.
· Keep out of the reach of children.
Hot parts · The engine and the exhaust system get very hot
and remain at that temperature for a long time, even after the engine has been turned off. Wait for them to cool down before handling these parts or carrying out work on areas around them. Wear insulated gloves.

WARNINGS
The information contained in this paragraph is important to ensure the operations carried out on the engine are performed without causing damage.

· Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the mo-
torcycle.
· While disassembling it, clean all the parts and
place them in containers accurately following the order of disassembly.
· Always use special tools wherever necessary
and when required.
· Always use glues, sealant and lubricants
wherever required. Follow the indications concerning their technical features.

· Always replace parts such as gaskets, O-rings
and safety washers with newly supplied parts.
· When loosening or tightening nuts or screws,
always start with the larger ones or from the centre. Always adhere to the specified tightening torques.
· Use only Betamotor original spare parts.

 Apply the seat.  Reapply the engine guard plate with the two
fixing screws, once the motorcycle is removed from the stand. Tighten to the specified torque.
