WARNING!!


Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-ity, and safe operation of your motor-cycle, note the following points regard-ing the specified wheels.

The wheel rims should be checkedfor cracks, bends or warpage be-fore each ride. If any damage isfound, have a Generic dealer re-place the wheel. Do not attempteven the smallest repair to thewheel. A deformed or crackedwheel must be replaced.The wheel should be balancedwhenever either the tire or wheelhas been changed or replaced. Anunbalanced wheel can result inpoor performance, adverse han-dling characteristics, and a short-ened tire life.Ride at moderate speeds afterchanging a tire since the tire sur-face must first be “broken in” for itto develop its optimal characteris-tics.

Checking the front brake leverfree playThere should be no free play at thebrake lever end. If there is free play, havea Generic dealer inspect the brake sys-tem.

A soft or spongy feeling in the brakelever can indicate the presence of airin the hydraulic system. If there is airin the hydraulic system, have aGeneric dealer bleed the system be-fore operating the motorcycle. Air inthe hydraulic system will diminishthe braking performance, which mayresult in loss of control and an acci-dent.

Adjusting the rear brake leverfree play

level

1

1. Minimum level mark

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air toenter the brake system, possibly caus-ing it to become ineffective.Before riding, check that the break fluidis above the minimum level mark andrefill it if necessary. Low position brake fluid level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the brakefluid level is low, be sure to check thebrake pads for wear and the brake sys-tem for leakage.Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the mas-ter cylinder is level by turning thehandlebars.Use only the recommended qual-ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-ber seals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance.

Recommended brake fluid:DOT 3/4

Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction and leadto poor braking performance.Be careful that water does not en-ter the master cylinder when refill-ing. Water will significantly lower theboiling point of the fluid and mayresult in vapor lock.Brake fluid may deteriorate paintedsurfaces or plastic parts. Alwaysclean up spilled fluid immediately.As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level togradually go down. However, if thebrake fluid level goes down sud-denly, have a Gene r i c dealer check.


Changing the brake fluidHave a Generic dealer change thebrake fluid at the intervals specified inthe NOTE after the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart.

Checking and lubricating thecablesThe operation of all control cables andthe condition of the cables should bechecked before each ride, and thecables and cable ends should be lubri-cated if necessary. If a cable is dam-aged or does not move smoothly, havea G e n e r i c dealer check or replace it.

Recommended lubricant:engine oil SAE 10W-30

Damage to the outer housing ofcables may result in internal rustingand cause interference with cablemovement. Replace damaged cablesas soon as possible to prevent un-safe conditions.

Checking and lubricating thethrottle grip and cableThe operation of the throttle grip shouldbe checked before each ride. In addi-tion, the cable should be lubricated atthe intervals specified in the periodicmaintenance chart.
