2. Use special tools where indicated.
3. Use original Laverda spare parts and the recommended lubricants.
4, After assembly, check that everything is sealed and working comectly.
5. Donnot use petrol to clean painted parts or parts made of synthetic material,
6. Always tighten nuts and screws at the recommended torque value.
7. Pay special awention to technical circulars giving any variations and updatings of the methods of
intervention.“The manual provides a complete description of the LAVERDA
650.
‘The 650 Sport is the new two-eylinder four-stroke sporis motor-
eycle with electronic ignition. Making use of the experience in
the production of the eight-valve two-cylinder model, the 650
Spart is the maximum technical evolution of the engine and of
Laverda itself. It is outstanding not only for its extremely sporty
‘and uggressive styling, but also for its frame made completely of
aluminium, its electronic injection, Racing suspensions and top
quality components. It is a machine to "look after with loving
care and atiention”. All this attention will be amply repaid by re-
ally pleasant use
Location of the serial numbers
‘The serial numbers are located as follows:
Chassis (A): punched on the left side of the rear fork support plate
indicating: international VIN code, CUNA numbering and an ad-
hesive plate with the DGM approval number.
Engine (B): punched on the left side of the upper base indicating:
model - engine number.
Approval aumber: an aluminium plate riveted onto the chassis
beaim on the lett side,
Always quote these data when asking for information.

116OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE DELIV-
ERY OF THE MOTORCYCLE
ATTENTION: Before taking the matoreyele out an the road, cer-
tain assembly operations and checks must be performed, Remem-
ber that all motorcycles have been tested, however we believe itis
good safety practice for the dealers to make a further check of the
‘most important components
Proceed as follows:
= Remove the motorcycle from the packing case.
- Fitthe front wheel and brake calipers, Ensure thatthe
front whee! spindle and front caliper hts are tightened
to the correct torque. Fit the front mudguard,
- Pull the front and rear bruke levers until risistance is felt
through the levers and the beakes are up to pressure:
> Check the levels of brake Muid in the rear (B) and front:
brake reservoirs and alse-the clutch fluid reservoir.
= Check drive chain tension is correct (1).
+ Check engine oi! level,
- Check for correct tightening torque on both whee! spin
dies, brake caliper bolts and all major nuts and bolts.
Tightening torque-are listed at the rear of this manual
artenrion: Use unleaded fuel.
Remember that this type of petrol has properties that corrode parts
made of ordinary rubber: the motorcycle is provided with special
materials that resist unleaded fuel, If they have to be replaced, we
recommend using only original spure pants 50 as toavoid encoun-
tering severe problems.
Fit the front wheel and the brake calipers.
Fit the front mudguard.
Check the brakes.
Chock the hydraulic fluid in the brakes and clutch.
Check the engine oil,
Tighten the wheel pins and the nuts and bolts
Charge the battery,

9. Fill up with untemded fuelAtthis point it is necessary to check correct fighting of the lamps
and services (headlamp, tail lamp, flashing indicators, brake
lights, dashboard pilot lights} by means of the electric controls on
the handlebar (C).
Check the alignment of the headlamp (F) and adjust it if neces-
sary,
Now you can start the engine, proceeding as follows:
1, Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direction: (A)
2. A this point you will hear the hum of the injection pump
which is loading the system. After a few seconds the pump
switches off, indicating that the injection system is under pres-
sure; you can now start the engine, pressing the button provided
(8), Do not start the engine before the pump has finished
loading the system.
ATTENTION: ‘The stating motor might be turning but the en-
gine may not star; in this case the side stand could be in open
position. Close the stand and the engine will start cornectly.LAVERDA 7
Now you can try out the motorcycle on the road, being particularly careful for the first kilometres. This will
enable you to get familiar with the vehicle and its controls.
NOTE. Use this manual as a guide to specific jobs. This manual has been prepared with the aim of pro-
viding important technical support for al! personnel involved in the maintenance and repair of the LLAVER-
DA 650, Remember that itis indispensable to have direct knowledge of the lechisical data provided, which
is of decisive importance for the professional training of mechanical or electronic aperators.
Always remember to assess the Customer's indications carefully,
‘Make a clear note of any malfunctions and organize your work rationally t0.8 to avoid wasted time. Make
sure you have the necessary spare parts and special equipment before starting the job.

WEBER injection-ignition system (1.A.W.)
The WEBER injection-ignition system is of the “alpha/" type in which the engine speed and the throttle
position are used to measure the quantity of air taken in; when the quantity of air is known, the amount of
fuel metered according o the engine requirements, Other sensors in the system allow correction of the ba-
sic strategy in particular working conditions
‘The quantity of air taken in by each cylinder, for each cyele, depends on the density of the air in the i
id, on the unit displacement and on volumetric efficiency, As regards volumetric efficiency, thi

‘The control of the cylinder injectors is of the "phased sequential” type, that is the injectors are controlled
according to the intake sequence, while delivery for cach cylinder may begin when the intake stage starts.LAVERDA A 13

‘General recommendations
Laverda recommends regular check-ups based on a table of distances or minimum periods.
More frequent ovethauls are needed on motorcycles used in particularly harsh conditions, dusty or hot at-
mospheres, frequent use in city traffic, habitual use of the motorcycle at maximum performance, etc. Below
‘are described some of the servicing operations listed above. Further information may be found in the spe-
cific paragraphs,
‘Changing the engine oil and filter
‘Allow the engine reach its normal operating temper-
‘ature, then proceed as follows:
Remove the bottom of the fairing
- Remove the filling cap (D).
- Unscrew the sump cap (A),
Remove the oi! and let it drain off for a few
minutes.
- Replace the oil cap,
- Remove the filter eartridge (C) and change it.
3 Fill with oil up to the level.
sy Check the oil level on the sight glass on the
left casing (E), cnsuring that it reaches the
MAX mark.
Checking and adjusting the tenshon of the secondary drive chain
‘To adjust the chain tension (A), the nuts holding the rear wheel (1) must first be loosened: unscrew the nut
(3) and then tum the screw (2) until the right tension as achieved.
Now tighten the wheel nuts again, checking that the data camespond to those on the adhesive plate on the
rear fork (4), When measuring the tension, the values given in figure 'B’ must he considered
Checking the {yre pressure (when cold)
Use a good pressure gauge (page 21 - A) Inflate both the tyres to the correct pressure:
~ rider only Front 2.2 - Rear 2
~ rider and passenger Front 2.3 ~ Rear 2.6LMERDA B 21
‘Check the general conditions of the tyres, In
spect the wheels, ensuring that they are net de-
formed, dented orcracked. ‘The alignment and
halaneing of the wheels are also very impor-
tant.
Checking the fastenings
Check in particular: the (wo wheel spindles, the footrest, the brake calipers and the exhaust fastenings.
Checking the fluid Jevel in brakes and clutch
‘There are three fluid tanks: two on the handlebar (clutch and front brake - B) and one behind the right side
of the fairing (rear brake -C). There are MAX and MIN marks on the tanks; the fluid level must clearly be
between these two marks, preferably closer to MAX,
WARNING - Use only new fluid. Hydraulic fluid can spoil paint and clothing, Do not cleam with al-
cohol or compressed alr
Routine servicing chart.
Gn the following page isa table indicating the routine servicing operations for correct usc of the motorcycle,
‘The operations indicated should be followed scrupulously, since the working life of the motorcycle, ils sale-
ty and the pleasure that it gives the rider depend! largely on the respect of these precise rules.
