Possible Cause Operation
not used for some time (1 month or more) the battery needs to
be recharged periodically. The battery runs down completely in
the course of 3 months. If the battery is fitted on a motorcycle,
be careful not to invert the connections, keeping in mind that
the black ground wire is connected to the negative terminal
while the red wire is connected to the terminal marked+.
Turn signal lights malfunction
TURN INDICATOR NOT WORKING
Possible Cause Operation
Electronic ignition device failure With the key switch set to "ON", jump the contacts 1 (Blue-
Black) and 5 (Green/Red) on the control unit connector.
If by operating the turn indicator control the lights are not stead-
ily on, replace the control unit; otherwise, check the cable
harness and the switch.
Steering and suspensions
Heavy steering
STEERING HARDENING
Possible Cause
Operation
Steering hardening Check the tightening of the top and bottom ring nuts. If irregu-
larities in turning the steering continue even after making the
above adjustments, check the seats on which the ball bearings
rotate: replace them if they are recessed or if the balls are flat-
tened.
Excessive steering play
EXCESSIVE STEERING BACKLASH
Possible Cause
Operation
Torque not conforming Check the tightening of the top and bottom ring nuts. If irregu-
larities in turning the steering continue even after making the
above adjustments, check the seats on which the ball bearings
rotate: replace them if they are recessed or if the balls are flat-
tened.
Noisy suspension
NOISY SUSPENSION
Possible Cause
Operation
Malfunctions in the suspension system If the front suspension is noisy, check: the efficiency of the front
shock absorbers; the condition of the ball bearings and relevant
lock-nuts, the limit switch rubber buffers and the movement
bushings. In conclusion, check the tightening torque of the
wheel hub, the brake calliper, the shock absorber disk in the
attachment to the hub and the steering tube.
