Changing the chain
New chains are usually sold with too many links, the first step is to reduce it to the correct length.
The safest method is to count the number of links on the old chain in order to adjust the new one.
To remove the old chain, simply undo a rivet.
Once the chain has been removed, the new one must be fitted. To do so, it must be placed around
the chain ring and the rear sprocket so that it meshes properly with the other gear elements. To
fasten the chain closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This stands in for a female link, inserted
between to male links. The quick clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for cleaning.
To check that the chain length is correct, it must be put on the smallest sprocket. In this position,
the virtual line drawn between the wheel hub of the rear wheel and the axis of the lower derailleur
pulley should be vertical.
Changing the pedals
To change the pedals, identify the pedals by the letter printed on the pedal. The right pedal has an
"R" printed on it and the left pedal has an "L" printed on it. Turn the R pedal clockwise to fix it on
the crank arm. Turn the L pedal anti-clockwise.
Wheel and engine
After the first month of use, it is advisable to tighten your spokes to limit the impact of the engine
traction on your rear wheel. You may hear a light noise when starting the engine. This noise is normal
because the engine starts and assists pedalling. This noise can get louder when in full use.
Suspension
Adjusting the front suspension
To adjust the front suspension level, you can turn the barrel adjuster on the left side of your fork by
half turn. You will hear a click after each half turn. Keep doing this until you get the right level of
suspension.
