o
Check for frayed strands of the throttle cable inside the throttle housing
and replace if necessary.
o
Check for adequate tire pressures and adjust if necessary.
o

o
Spray all moving parts with WD40 or other light oil.
o
Check drive chain for
Proper tension and adjust if necessary.
Adequate lubrication and lubricate if necessary.
o
Insure that the ignition stator and rotor are clean and dry.
o
Check the frame for cracks in the metal or cracks in the paint that
might indicate that the metal has been stressed beyond it’s safe limits.
Replace or get properly rewelded as necessary.

and hub.
•
Every 2 hours of operation
o
Replace the transmission oil.
•
Every 10 hours of operation
o

CAUTION:
1.
Because of the amount of heat generated by the clutch and engine during
extended periods of riding, it is advisable to remove the ignition cover
afterward to allow the ignition to cool off. The heat transfers through the
cases and can damage the stator as it cools off because of lack of airflow
around the stator.
2.
If you ever need to weld anything on the bike, disconnect the spark plug
cap, unplug the ignition, disconnect the kill switch, scrape the paint bare
near the area to be welded and put the ground clamp as close to the area
to be welded as possible.
Be sure the fuel tank and carburetor have been removed and safely located
away from the welding process.
3.
The frame is 4130 Chrome Moly and it is important to weld it with the proper
rod and heat settings set as light as possible. Cobra recommends replacing
the frame with a new one if the old one becomes damaged. Use ER70S6
filler if welding on the frame.
4.
If your kick-starter lever does not return properly, first try loosening the six
kick/clutch cover screws ½ turn. Hold the kick lever ½ way down while
retightening the six screws starting for the center and working out.
5.
Inspect CFD slip torque every 10 hours of riding or replace the friction
papers and the load spring (Bellville spring) every 20 hours.
