REAR SWINGARM CATCH
When unfolded, the rear swingarm is at-
tached to the frame with a black plastic catch.
You should adjust the position of this catch
so that it engages automatically when you
unfold the Birdy, and so that there’s no play.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REAR CATCH
• To adjust it, you must loosen both allen
bolts inside the rear swingarm box profile.
• The catch can then be pushed inwards or
outwards.
• Finally, retighten both bolts with a torque
of 2-3 Nm.
• Open and close the catch several times to
check the adjustment.
• The M 6 x 12 bolt is secured into the main
frame with threadlock adhesive. The bolt
should be screwed in just far enough that
when the catch is engaged, it’s under slight
tension inwards.
• If the tension is no longer sucient for the
catch to engage, you need to pretension
the catch: fold the rear swingarm slightly
forwards, remove the elastomer and bend
the plastic catch firmly inwards for a few
seconds.
TIP!
Lean on the saddle during
adjustment to reduce play!
