– Maintenance Laverda 1000/1200

NB: These instructions are given for guidance only and cannot engage the author's liability in the event of misinterpretation, failure to assess the vehicle's actual condition and/or non-conformity, unsuitable mechanical practice or the use of inappropriate tools.

Here are my advices for the 750 and 1000 maintenance. They are a bit different than the original manual instructions.

This is due to the fact that, as for any old and classic bike, it is necessary to make a careful maintenance in order to avoid big failures and also to get numerous years of great
running.
