CHECKING CRANKSHAFT BALANCING
To bal ance statically the crankshaft it is neces-
sary to add a weight of 1.650 ..;... 1.652 kg.

II CARBURATION
REPLACING THE AIR FILTER
Every 6000 km (3700 miles) check condi tions of
air filter, if necessary clean It using compressed
air; it is advisable to replace it every 9000 km
(5600 miles).
To replace the air filter lift the saddle. remove
fuel tank and side covers. Take out R/H ca r bu -
rettorand
undo thescrewsfixing the air intaketo
the
bike frame: remove the two side screws and
take out from the R/H side the container •A.
complete with the air filter.

FRONT FORK SPRINGS
Forthe values althe springs referto mod .V 1000
G 5 (see page 102).
FRONT FORK LUBRICATION
To replace the oil in the front fork legs, proceed
as follows:
• with the bike
on the central stand, loosen the
side
screw .. C .. locking the steering head to the
fork arm; disconnect compensating pipe and
completely
unscrew the hexagonal screw plug
" S
.. ; then undo drain plug .. A .. ;
• slightly press the front part of the bike to
force out the plug .. 8 .. which is solidal to the
shock absorber . Do this paying attention not to
damage the instruments panel;
• refit plug .. A .. and introduce the quantity of
fluid necessary (60 cc Agip F. 1 ATF Dexron)
through the space ex isting between the Inner
diameter of the fork and the shock absorber
body;
• release the front part of the bike refit plug
. 8 .. and lock the side screw. Repeat the same
operation for the other lark leg;
• reconnect compensating pipe and check
the pressures keeping to the given values.
OIL PNEUMATIC SHOCK ABSORBERS
The operating load pressures of these shock
absorbers are the following;
• front: 2
"'- 3 kg/sqcm
• rear: 3 "'- 5 kg/sqcm
To check the pressure it is advisable to use a
pressure gauge having a very short pipe (better
if any ), as the capacity ofthe pipe may affect the
pressure existing inside the shock absorbers.
To
as certain to which extent your pressure
gauge reduces, when taking the measurement,
the pressure insidethe shock absorber it is suf-
ficient to carry out two consecutive measure-
ments: the difference between the two readings
gives approximately the pressure reduction
oc-
curing whenever a measurement is taken.
The measurement must be taken with the bike
on the central stand and with cold shock ab-
sorbers; to charge the shock absorbers only
use moistureless air.
N.B. -Pressures gauges as above, are found on
the market: howeveritcan be necessaryto place
a supplementarygasket in the gaugehead, in or-
der that the valve steminside the shock absorber
will bepressedonlywhen the gasket has madea
perfect tightening.
