Ⅲ Ⅲ Ⅲ Ⅲ . MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS The basic methods of motorcycle maintenance include inspection, adjustment, tightening, lubrication, cleaning, supplementing and replacement, which constitute the main elements of maintenance. 1. Inspection Inspection refers to basic inspecting operations in accordance with items and requirements specified in the user’s manual, including inspection with instruments or with eyes for abnormalities in machine parts, directly comparing related data and aligning with tools and gauges.
IV. THROTTLE ACTUATION INSPECTION Inspect throttle grip for easy and smooth movement. Inspect throttle free travel. Free travel: 2-6mm The main adjusting position is beside the carburetor. Remove rear luggage box cover. Adjust by loosening the fastening nut and turning the adjusting nut. Fine adjustment is effected on the side of the throttle grip.
Ⅴ Ⅴ Ⅴ Ⅴ . AIR FILTER INSPECTION AND CLEANING After a certain mileage, dust and impurities will gather in air filter case and strainer, which will clog strainer pores and reduce inlet of air and thus lead to excessive concentration of mixed gas and reduce the performance of engine.
VII. BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION, ADJUSTMENT AND REPLACEMENT 1. Front brake (disk brake) Remove the bolts linking brake caliper and front shock absorber. Remove brake caliper. * Do not pull brake lever when brake caliper is removed so as to prevent jamming of brake block.
2. Rear Brake Inspect rear brake lever free travel. Free travel: 10-20mm Turn adjusting nut to effect adjustment when free travel exceeds limit. VIII. FRONT AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION 1. Front Shock Absorber Tighten front brake lever, press front shock absorber up and down and inspect actuation.
IX. FRONT WHEEL AND REAR WHEEL INSPECTION Wheel Rim Inspection: Inspect wheel rim, remove rust stains and rubber chips. Deformation and fissures are causes of air leakage. Do not use wheel rims in the following cases: Bruise of wheel rim face contacting tire bead ring exceeds 0.5mm in depth and 1.0mm in width.
Inspect if front wheel nut is loose. Inspect if rear wheel nut is loose. If loose, tighten them to specified torques. Torques: front wheel nut 60N·m rear wheel nut 120N·m X. STEERING STEM INSPECTION Swing handlebar right and left to see if there is interference such as wire or other things.
CHAPTER TWO MAINTENANCE INFORMATION I. FRAME NUMBER AND ENGINE NUMBER LOCATION II. PRECAUTIONS IN OPERATION Removed washers, 0-rings, elastic retaining rings and split pins must be replaced with new ones. When mounting bolts, nuts and screws, proceed from trial tightening, from larger diameters to smaller diameters and inner ones to outer ones in a diagonally order.
Connectors must be inserted home. When connecting connectors with locks, confirm that their locks are fastened. Confirm that the wires are not loose. Confirm that connectors’ plastic sleeves completely cover the connectors without fail. Before connecting the connectors, confirm that their sleeves are free from breakage and their terminals are not oversized.

Axle Bending Inspection Place axle on a V-seat and measure with a dial gauge. The dial gauge indicates a 1/2 bending value. Limit of use: Replace if >0.2mm. Wheel Rim Oscillation Inspection Measure oscillation value on a correcting bench. Limit of use: Replace if >2.0mm. Traverse direction: Replace if >2.0mm.
Front Wheel Bearing Replacement Dismounting: Remove front wheel bearing by means of a bearing remover, take out spacer. Mounting: Apply grease to the bearing. Drive in left bearings. Mount spacer. Drive in right bearings. Bearings must be driven in parallel. Dust cover must be driven in with the face out.

Remove front wheel and front shock absorber together with front fender and steering stem from head tube. The removing of the bottom bearing cup, bearing top and bearing set is the same as the removing of the upper series. Do not damage steering stem when removing bearing cup and bearing top.
Pass steering stem through head tube. Apply grease to top bearing cup and bearing top. Mount in order upper bearing cup, bearing ball set and upper bearing top on the upper part of steering stem and fasten them. Torque: 15 N·m Turn front fork right and left to effect close contact of bearing balls.
·When removing left grip and throttle grip, remove contamination and grease from contacting face. Mounting Mount handlebar on steering stem guide tube, fit bush, setting bolt and nut. Torque: 45 N·m Mount left brake lever and fasten bolts. Torque: 9 N·m Mount front brake main cylinder.
Do not apply grease to parts not specified. Superfluous grease flows into brake friction linings of brake drum shall reduce braking effect. Mount brake cam. Mount brake swing arm on brake cam. Notch on brake swing arm should be aligned with the cut-off of brake cam. Mount brake swing arm setting bolt and fasten it.
