REAR SUSPENSION BEARINGS
The Birdy’s rear swingarm is supported on
a very precise and maintenance-free INA
sealed cartridge needle bearing, which
requires neither adjustment nor mainten-
ance. However, the position of the pivot
axle and its corresponding clamp bolts
should be checked regularly. Should the
axle have moved over to left or right, so
that it is no longer completely locked into
the swingarm on both sides, please con-
sult your dealer. The clamp bolts must be
tightened to 5 Nm torque.
SUSPENSION PIVOT BEARINGS
FRONT SUSPENSION BEARINGS
The front wheel swingarm on the Birdy is
supported by maintenance-free IGUS ‘Iglidur’
bearings. The pivot bolts can be adjusted
from the outside with an 8mm hex key. The
inner part of the bolt is secured to the fork
against rotation and cannot be moved. If the
front suspension develops play and starts
to wobble or oscillate as you ride, the outer
pivot bolt can be tightened somewhat.
If the front suspension is hard to fold, the
outer pivot bolt can be slightly loosened.
If the bearing is completely disassembled,
please secure the thread of the pivot bolt
with thread-lock adhesive.
