This section makes it possible to find what solutions to apply when troubleshooting.
For each failure, a list of the possible causes and pertaining operations is given.
Engine
Excessive oil consumption/Exhaust smoke
EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION
Possible Cause
Operation
Wrong valve adjustment
Adjust the valve clearance properly
Overheated valves
Remove the head and the valves, grind or replace the valves
Misshapen/worn valve seats
Replace the head unit
Worn cylinder, Worn or broken piston rings
Replace the piston cylinder assembly or piston rings
Worn or broken piston rings or piston rings that have not been
fitted properly
Replace the piston cylinder unit or just the piston rings
Oil leaks from the couplings or from the gaskets
Check and replace the gaskets or restore the coupling seal
Worn valve oil guard
Replace the valve oil seal
Worn valve guides
Check and replace the head unit if required
Insufficient lubrication pressure
POOR LUBRICATION PRESSURE
Possible Cause
Operation
By-Pass remains open
Check the By-Pass and replace if required. Carefully clean the
By-Pass area.
Oil pump with excessive clearance
Perform the dimensional checks on the oil pump components
Oil filter too dirty
Replace the cartridge filter
Oil level too low
Restore the level adding the recommended oil type
Transmission and brakes
Clutch grabbing or performing inadequately
IRREGULAR CLUTCH PERFORMANCE OR SLIPPAGE
Possible Cause
Operation
Faulty clutch
Check that there is no grease on the masses. Check that the
clutch mass faying surface with the bell is mainly in the centre
with equivalent characteristics on the three masses. Check that
the clutch housing is not scored or worn in an anomalous way
Insufficient braking
INEFFICIENT BRAKING SYSTEM
Possible Cause
Operation
Inefficient braking system
Check the pad wear (1.5 min). Check that the brake discs are
not worn, scored or warped. Check the correct level of fluid in
the pumps and change brake fluid if necessary. Check there is
no air in the circuits; if necessary, bleed the air. Check that the
front brake calliper moves in axis with the disc.
Fluid leakage in hydraulic braking system
Failing elastic fittings, plunger or brake pump seals, replace
