TM sport motorcycles are designed and constructed in a manner to support the stress that may be
verified innormal roadand competitionuse.
Competitionmotorcycles arein compliancewith theregulationsof thecategories actuallyin force at
themost importantinternational motorcyclingfederations.
The scrupulous compliance with the established inspections, maintenance and tuning of the engine
andchassispartof themotorcycle,indicatedinthe usermanual,isindispensableforcorrect functioning
andto preventpremature wear ofthe partsof themotorcycle itself.
Incorrect tuning of the engine or of the chassis can also jeopardise one’s own safety and that of
others.
Themaintenance operationsestablished inthe “Maintenanceand Lubrication”table mustbe carried
out by a specialised TM workshop at the envisioned dates, otherwise any warranty rights will be
forfeited.
When you must contact your TM Dealer for spare parts, updating requests or to signal problems, indicate
the model, cylinder capacity, year of manufacture and most of all the frame number and the engine serial
number.
Fuels and lubricants must be those established in the user and maintenance manual and must be
usedas permaintenanceprogramme. Productsofotherbrandscan beusedas longastheyhavethe
equivalentspecifications.
In cases of direct and consequent damage caused by tampering or modifications to the motorcycle,
no legal warranty claim can be asserted.
The use of the motorcycle in extreme conditions, for example on muddy and very wet ground, may
leadto greaterthan averagewearof components,such astransmissioncomponents orthe brakes.It
is therefore possible that maintenance or replacement of some parts is necessary before the limit
normallyenvisioned bythemaintenance programme.
MX AND SMX MODELS CANNOT BE USED ON PUBLIC ROADS.
The 250 and 450 models in the END, SMR and SMM versions can be used on roads only in the
unvaried type-approved version (reduced). Without this power limitation (i.e. reduced) these
models can only be used off-the-road, but not on public roads.
TheEND modelshave been designedfor off-the-roadresistance competitions(Enduro) andare not
suitablefor Motocross.

of the clutch lever, with respect to the handlebar grip, can be varied
using the adjustment screws (A) (see maintenace operation).
The adjusting screws (B) are used to adjust the pump after having

The hand decompressor lever (2) is on the left side of the handlebar,
and is used when, after a fall or following overheating, the engine is
difficult to start-up when warm. To ventilate the engine, pull the
decompressor lever during starting.
The lever must always have a play of about 10 mm measured between
the lever and support, before starting to open theexhaust valves. The
time of opening is recognised by greater resistance of the lever (see
“Frame and Engine Maintenance” chapter).

The electronic tachometer display is always activated.
The electronic tachometer is powered by an SR44 1.5 Volt battery,
(D357) 11.6x5.4mm.
Replace the battery every 2 years or in case of blurring of the display.
To replace the battery, open the cover positioned on the rear using a
screwdriver, and extract the battery.
Insert the new battery in a way that the positive pole is visible from the
outside and close the cover.
Beforeextractingthebattery, make note of theWS(wheelcircumference)
and DST (total mileage) values.
These values will be re-programmed into the instrument after battery
replacement.

In the models with battery and electric ignition, a two-button command
is found at the side of the throttle command, one button is red, the other
black.
The red button (1) has two positions. Positioned inwards, it interrupts
contact with the battery, removing the current from all services
consumers/ancilleries. The engine will not start even with the pedal.
On these models, position it like this to switch the
engine off.
It is advised to leave it like this until the engine is started-up again,
otherwise the battery will go flat.
Positionedoutwards,itclosesthecontactwith the battery,
enables the use of all services, including electric starter.
For this reason, never leave it like this with the engine
switched off, otherwise the ignition control unit, which
absorbs current even when the engine is switched off,
can make the battery flat.
The black button (2) activates the starter. Press to start-
up the engine and release once running.
Activate this command for a maximum of 8/10 sec. at a
time and wait a few seconds before re-trying.
Donotinsist for more than 3/4 times: look for the probable
fault.
Never press this button when the engine is running.

This command is located on the left side of the motorcycle.
For MIKUNI carburetors
By extracting the choke knob (1) as far as possible, a passage is
opened in the carburetor, through which the engine can suck additional
fuel. In this way, a “rich” air-fuel mix is obtained. This is necessary for
starting the engine when it is cold.
To disconnect the command, push the choke knob inwards to its original
position.

By pulling the by-pass knob (1) forward as far as possible, a hole is
opened in the feeding pipe, through which the engine can suck an
additional amount of air not mixed with fuel. The result is a “lean” air-
fuel mix. This is required for starting the engine when it is flooded or
particularly overheated.

can be adjusted on the basis of pilot preferences and/or hardness of
the spring installed.

The hydraulic brake system in compression determines the behaviour
oftheshockabsorberinthecompression stroke.The degree of hydraulic
braking in compression can be adjusted on the basis of pilot
preferences and/or hardness of the spring installed.
Both standard and optional shock absorbers mounted on the TM offer
the possibility of double adjustment in compression for low and high
speeds.
Low and high speeds mean the movement speed of the damper in
compression and not the speed of the motorcycle.

Low speeds- The adjustment screw (6) is located on the top of the
damper gas tank. Use a screwdriver. By turning clockwise, braking

High speeds - The adjuster is a knob (7) and is concentric to the low
speed adjustment screw. Act manually. By turning clockwise, braking
increase, anticlockwise it decreases. A total of 20 clicks are available
