Printability:
High (fully printable, allowing users to print specific sections or the entire manual).
Binding Type:
Digital (N/A for the delivered file, but the printed version would be user-bound).
Paper Type:
Digital (N/A for the delivered file, but the printed version would typically be on standard workshop manual paper).
Engine Type:
Likely a four-stroke, single-cylinder or twin-cylinder engine, characteristic of Cagiva's dual-sport offerings of the era. Specific configuration (e.g., air-cooled/liquid-cooled) not provided.
Displacement:
500cc (as indicated by 'T4-500 E').
Horsepower:
Estimated to be in the range of 35-45 hp, typical for a 500cc dual-sport of the late 1980s. Exact figures not provided in product info.
Torque:
Not specified, but expected to provide adequate torque for off-road and street use.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely Carburetor(s), as electronic fuel injection was less common on this class of motorcycle in 1987. Specific carburetor model and settings would be detailed in the manual.
Ignition System:
Details would be covered, including spark plug type, gap, and ignition timing.
Valve Adjustment:
Procedures for checking and adjusting valve clearance are expected to be covered in detail.
Transmission Type:
Manual Transaxle System (as listed in coverage areas), likely a multi-gear unit (e.g., 5 or 6-speed).
Transmission Variants:
Product description lists 'Automatic Transaxle System' as covered, which is unusual for a motorcycle of this era and displacement. This may refer to a specific variant or a misinterpretation in the product description. Typically, this segment would feature manual transmissions with a clutch.
Clutch Type:
The manual covers the 'Clutch System', implying a manual clutch operation, likely wet multi-plate.
Type:
Dual-sport / Enduro motorcycle. Specific dimensions (length, width, height, seat height, ground clearance) would be found within the manual.
Dry Weight:
Typical for a 500cc dual-sport of this era would be around 150-170 kg. Exact figures would be in the manual.
Wet Weight:
Not specified, but would include fluids and fuel.
Safety Certifications:
Not applicable to manuals, but the manual would cover safety-related systems like braking and restraint.
Braking System Type:
Covered in detail. Likely a combination of disc brakes front and rear, typical for a performance dual-sport.
Restraint System:
Manual coverage indicates it details any relevant safety features for the rider, though 'restraint' in a motorcycle context is unconventional and might refer to specific components or design elements.
Infotainment Systems:
As a 1987 motorcycle, no advanced infotainment systems are expected. Focus is on mechanical and electrical systems.
Rider Assistance:
Basic rider assistance features would be limited to the design of the suspension, brakes, and ergonomics, all of which are detailed in the manual.
Connectivity Features:
None expected for this model year.
Oil Change Interval:
Specific intervals for engine oil and filter changes would be detailed. Typically every 3,000-5,000 km for motorcycles of this era.

Recommended replacement intervals for spark plugs would be provided.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Procedures and intervals for air filter maintenance would be included.
Engine Oil Type:
Likely a 10W-40 or 20W-50 motorcycle-specific engine oil, conforming to API SG or similar standards. Exact viscosity and API rating would be specified.
Brake Fluid Type:
Typically DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid for hydraulic systems. The manual would specify the exact type and replacement schedule.
Coolant Type:
If liquid-cooled, the manual would specify the coolant type and mixture ratio.
