INTRODUCTION
• This Workshop Manual describes the main electrical/mechanical checks, the essential checks and the assembly of
components supplied disassembled in order to deliver a brand new vehicle (the sequence of operations is not
binding).
• It is essential to follow the instructions with great care. Work carried out carelessly or, worse still, work that has not
been accomplished, can cause injuries and damage or, in the less serious cases, complaints.
NOTE These manuals provide the necessary information and instructions for routine maintenance and serv-
icing.
Some information has been given to us by the engine manufacturers. We therefore decline all respon-
sibility for any error, omission or misrepresentation.
MALAGUTI reserves the right to make any changes and modifications hereto it deems necessary
without prior notice.
MANUAL UPDATES
• The updates will be sent by us (in a reasonable time). Every CD-Rom you receive will supersede the one already in
your possession.
• The table of contents will be duly updated in the event that new pages are inserted, which render the consultation
of the manual difficult.
• IMPORTANT! The Workshop Manuals are to be considered as essential tools to be properly kept up-to-date so as
to maintain their validity over time.

SYMBOLS
• Symbols are provided for quick and easy reference (see the relevant heading), identifying situations requiring
utmost attention or providing practical suggestions or simple information.
• These symbols may appear next to a text (in which case they refer solely to the text itself), next to a figure (in
which case they refer to the topic illustrated in the figure and to the relative text), or at the top of the page (in which
case they refer to all the topics dealt with in the page).
NOTE The meaning of the symbols should be duly memorised as their scope is to avoid having to repeat
basic technical concepts or safety recommendations. They are therefore to be considered as “memory
tags”. In case of any doubt as to their meaning, consult the page in which they are fully described.

NOTE The letter V in the illustrations refers to fixing or adjusting screws. The number following this letter
refers to the number of the same type of screw in the unit or component described and illustrated. A
letter without a number indicates quantity 1. In case of different screws being referred to in the illustra-
tion, the letter V is followed by a number and a lower case letter. Example: (V4a).
Unless otherwise specified, units and components are reassembled by proceeding in the reverse or-

GENERAL WORK PROCEDURES
• The advice, recommendations and warnings given hereafter are aimed at ensuring maximum work safety as well
as at considerably reducing the risk of accidents, personal injury, equipment damage and idle times. We therefore
recommend observing such advice, recommendations and warnings scrupulously.
SUGGESTIONS
• Only use top quality tools and equipment.
• Only use equipment conforming to EU Directives for lifting the vehicle.
• During all operations keep tools close at hand, ideally in accordance with a predetermined sequence of use, and
anyway never leave tools on the vehicle or in concealed or hard to reach positions.
• Always keep the work area clean and tidy.
• When tightening screws or nuts, start with the larger diameter or inner fasteners, and tighten them in a “crosswise
pattern” in successive “torquing steps”.
• Preferably use open-end wrenches and tighten by exerting “pulling force” rather than “pushing force”.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Before carrying out any work on the vehicle wait for all
the parts to cool down completely.
• For operations requiring two mechanics, make sure that
the various steps to be performed by each of them are
clearly defined and coordinated beforehand.
• Make sure that each component has been properly fit-
ted before proceeding with the next one.
• Lubricate all parts (where applicable) before reinstall-
ing them.
• Gaskets, oil seals, snap rings and cotters must be re-
newed at every refitting.
• The torque settings specified in the manuals refer to
the “final torque”, which must be reached progressively
by steps.
• Loosen and tighten aluminium alloy parts (covers) only
after the engine has cooled down fully.
• Only use screwdrivers of suitable sizes in relation to
the screws to be loosened or tightened.
• Work in a comfortable position and ensure that the ve-
hicle is stable.
• Never use a screwdriver as a lever or chisel.
• Never use pliers to loosen or tighten screws or nuts because, in addition to not providing a sufficient clamping force,
they may also damage the screw head or nut hex.
• Never tap wrenches with a hammer (or other similar tools) to loosen or tighten screws and nuts.
• Never attempt to increase leverage by attaching tubes, etc. to wrenches.

FRAME AND RUNNING GEAR
Never leave open containers or containers not suitable for holding fuel in passageways, close to
heat sources. etc.
Never use petrol to clean the vehicle or the workshop floor. Always use low flash point solvents to
clean the vehicle components.
When welding, make sure that there are no flammable liquids in the vicinity. Always remove the fuel
tank, even if completely empty, and disconnect the negative cable (-) from the battery.
Before any servicing, make sure that the vehicle is perfectly stable.
The front wheel should preferably be anchored to fixture (A), which is integral with the lift platform.

A 4 AND CONTROL FUNCTION DRAKON 50 NKD
For the English version, the display will be in miles, not km. The digital instrument board only works
if the battery is connected. If the battery is flat, replace it immediately. When the battery is replaced or
the fuse is removed, power is disconnected; any settings memorised on the instrument panel, except
the total distance travelled, will be reset.
Replace the flat battery with a new one; if the problem remains, call an Authorised MALAGUTI Service Centre.
Do not use your vehicle when no function appears on the display or when functions appear partially,
since the instrument board is not in the condition to provide sufficient information about your vehi-
cle.
SETTING
Power up the instrument board by connecting the battery to the vehicle’s cables. Put the key in the ignition switch and
turn it to. The names of stored flywheels appear successively on the display: before selecting your type, check the type
of flywheel installedon your vehicle on the anti-tampering label under the seat (seepage 33). When the code of your
model appears on the display, press the MODE button, to make your selection. If you choose the wrong model, you will
be shown improper information (speed, km, etc.). If you choose the wrong model, turn the panel off, wait for about two
minutes and repeat the above operations in the correct manner.
Using a unit of measurement that differs from the one used in the country where you are driving may
lead to improper calculations, especially concerning the vehicle’s speed. Consequences include ex-
posure of the driver and others to dangers, as well as fines.

Hydraulic brake service:
- Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
- Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
The maintenance schedule is based on average riding conditions. Machines subject to severe use or
ridden in unusually wet or dusty conditions or off the road require more frequent servicing.

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is an important part of the engine and re-
quires very accurate adjustments.
Therefore, most carburettor adjustments should be left to
an Authorised MALAGUTI Service Centre, who has the
necessary professional knowledge and experience.
The carburettor has been set and extensively tested
at the MALAGUTI factory. Changing these settings may
result in poor performance or damage to the engine.

While bleeding the brakes ensure that no
brake fluid comes into contact with the
scooter bodywork (risk of damage). In addi-
tion, while bleeding the brake calipers avoid
contamination of brake discs or pads with
brake fluid. Failure to comply with this pre-
scription will have a negative effect on the
efficiency of the brake system.
If the escaping brake fluid continues to con-
tain air bubbles during the bleed operation,
check all unions carefully: if the unions are
perfectly tight, check the gaskets on the
master cylinder and the caliper plungers for
the possible ingress of air.
When performing the bleed operation brake
fluid may leak from the bleed screw and con-
taminate the caliper or the disc: in this case,
dry the caliper thoroughly and degrease the
disc.
