PREAMBLE
Carbon monoxide
• Exhaust gasses contain carbon which is poiso-
nous. Carbon monoxide can cause loss of con-
science and lead to death. When starting the
engine, make sure the place you are is well-
ventilated. Never start the engine in a closed
place.
• Starting the engine closed places can be done
only if provided with relevant gas discharge
evacuation devices.
Petrol
• Petrol is extremely flammable and can be ex-
plosive in some conditions.
• Keep heat sources, 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 absolutely necessary.
• Never use petrol to clean components by me-
ans of compressed air.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Motor oil
• Motor oil can cause skin illnesses if carried of-
ten and for prolonged periods in contact with
skin.
• If you touch motor oil, clean parts with soap
and water as soon as possible.
• In case of contact with the eyes, rinse them
abundantly with water and seek medical ad-
vice.
• If swallowed, do not induce vomiting in order
to avoid breathing the product into the lungs;
seek immediate medical advice. If you believe
the product has been breathed into the lungs,
bring the concerned person urgently to the ho-
spital.
• Used oil contains dangerous substances which
are harmful for the environment. When chan-
ging it, you must be equipped to dispose of it
in compliance with existing law.
• Avoid releasing used oils to the environment.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
PREAMBLE
This publication has been written in order to make operations for inspection, maintenance and repairs
of the motorcycle engine known and understandable to the user of the motorcycle and to the technical
assistance operator.
Read this entire manual with care before operating the engine. Sufficient knowledge of the components
that make up the engine and of all the procedures to be followed for inspection and maintenance con-
tribute to lengthen the life of the engine.
The paragraphs have been enhanced with schematic illustrations highlighting each subject in order to
make reading immediately understandable.
Informative note
Betamotor S.p.A. is engaged in a policy of ongoing improvement of its products. This is why it could be
possible to note slight differences between the contents of this document and the vehicle upon which
you are carrying out repairs and/ or maintenance. Betamotor S.p.A. models are exported to numerous
countries in which there are different standards concerning Highways Codes and procedures for approval
of the vehicle. Relying on your understanding, Betamotor S.p.A. therefore deems it necessary to reserve
the right to modify its products and technical documentation at any time without prior warning.
We respect and defend the environment
All that we do has an impact on the whole Planet and its resources. Betamotor S.p.A., wishing to

SAFETY

PREAMBLE
Coolant
• In some situations, the ethylene glycol contai-
ned in the coolant is flammable and its flame
is invisible. Should ethylene glycol catch fire,
though its flame is invisible, it can cause burns.
• Do not bring the coolant in contact with hot
parts. These parts could be hot enough to cau-
se the liquid to ignite.
• The coolant (ethylene glycol) can irritate skin
and is poisonous if swallowed.
• Should the coolant come into contact with the
skin, immediately remove contaminated clo-
thing or footwear and wash with soap and wa-
ter. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse them
abundantly with clean water and seek medical
advice immediately. Should it be swallowed, do
not induce vomiting in order to avoid breathing
the product into the lungs. Administer clean
water and bring the concerned person imme-
diately to the hospital, showing this product to
the hospital staff.
• In the event of exposure to a high concentra-
tion of vapours, bring the concerned person to
an uncontaminated atmosphere and seek me-
dical advice if necessary.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is still hot. When coolant is pressurised, it
can spurt out violently and cause burns.
• Coolant contains dangerous substances which
are harmful for the environment. When chan-
ging it, you must be equipped to dispose of it
in compliance with existing law.
• Do not release coolant to the environment.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Hot parts
• The engine and the exhaust system get very hot
and stay at that temperature for a long time,
even after the engine has been turned off. Wait
for them to cool off before handling these parts
or intervening on areas around them. Use insu-
lated gloves.

• Before disassembling, clean the motorcycle
thoroughly.
• While you are disassembling it, clean all the
parts and place them in containers respecting
the order of disassembly exactly.
• Always use special tools wherever necessary
and when thus prescribed.
• Always use glues, sealing and lubricants whe-
rever prescribed. Respect the indications con-
cerning 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 respect the indicated tighte-
ning torques.
• Use only Betamotor original spare parts.
WARNINGS
The information contained in this paragraph is important so that the operations out on the
engine can be performed without causing damage.
