Adjustment of gear shifting

The perfect function of gear shifting depends at a great extent on the correct adjustment of the
gear shifting mechanism.
Note: At standstill of the engine it may not be possible to shift the gears, depending on the
position between shifting sleeve and idle gear of the first or second gear. In this
case turn the rear axle until you find a position allowing gear shifting.
Check whether the shift paddle alignes at gear position „NEUTRAL" with the steering wheel. If
this is not the case, correct the BOWDEN cable adjustment accordingly.
Re-adjust the gearshift cables if necessary with the adjustment screws at the shift paddle.
Note: If the gearshift cables are excessively tensioned, the gears are hard to shift.
The distance between shift contact and screw head at the gearshift shaft must be
1 mm / 0,04 in. The distance can be adjusted by loosening of the two counter nuts (pos.1)
and turning the Allen screw (pos.2) in or out.
Note: If the distance between shift contact
and screw head is not correctly
adjusted, the function of the ignition
cut-off is not assured. This may cause
gearshifting problems.
Note: If the gearshifting gets hard after some
operating hours, check whether the
retaining plate (pos. 3) is bent, replace
it by a new one or try to bend the
support back into the correct position.
