  • Page 73: Fuel Requirement

    MAINTENANCE Fuel Requirement This motorcycle is recommended to use only unleaded premium gasoline. CAUTION Do not use leaded gasoline, as it will destroy the catalytic converter. (For further understanding, please refer to more information related to the catalytic converter) Be sure to use fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidate, resulting in loss of octane and volatile compounds. It also produces colloidal and lacquer deposits which could damage the fuel system.

  • Page 74: Engine Assy

    MAINTENANCE Engine Assy For the engine, transmission, and clutch to work properly, maintain the engine oil between the upper and lower lines on the oil window. During the engine lubrication process, oil not only builds up carbon by- product and metallic impurities, but may also consume itself by a small amount. Inspect and change the oil in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

  • Page 79: Air Intake And Exhaust System

    MAINTENANCE Air Intake and Exhaust System Fuel & Exhaust Detecting System Fuel & exhaust system optimization is detected by oxygen sensors . An oxygen sensor installed on each exhaust pipe detects air & fuel combustion condition by measuring oxygen density and transferring it as an electrical signal to the ECU. If the ECU determines that combustion is not optimal, it will make adjustments to fuel injection in accordance with signals from the TPS and Intake Air Temperature sensors.

  • Page 80: Valve Clearance

    MAINTENANCE Valve Clearance The engine valves and valve seats wear during operation. Adjustment of the valvetrain components should be performed by a dealer technician in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. WARNING If adjustment of the valve clearance is not performed, it will eventually result in no clearance or cause the valves remaining partly open, which reduces performance, creates valve noise, and can cause serious engine damage.

  • Page 81: Air Filter

    MAINTENANCE Air Filter A clogged air fi lter restricts air fl ow, increases fuel consumption, reduces engine power, and causes spark plug fouling. The air filter element must be cleaned in accordance with the periodic Maintenance Chart. When driving in dusty, rainy, or muddy conditions, the air filter element should be serviced more frequently than the recommended interval in the periodic Maintenance Chart.

  • Page 82: Tire And Chain

    MAINTENANCE Tire and Chain This vehicle only uses tubeless tires, rims and infl ating valves. Only use the recommended standard tires, rims and infl ating valves. Do not install inner tube tires on tubeless rims. Do not install a inner tube inside a tubeless tire.

  • Page 83: Tire Payload

    MAINTENANCE NOTE: Inspect the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Tire pressure is affected by the change of environment temperature and altitude. If the environment temperature and altitude have a big change during the driving trip, tire pressure should be adjusted and inspected accordingly.

  • Page 84: Tire Friction

    MAINTENANCE Tire Friction When tire tread wear exceeds the use limit, the tire becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. An accepted estimate is that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread life, so it is unsafe to continue to use tires until they are bald.

  • Page 85: Drive Chain Inspection

    MAINTENANCE Drive Chain Inspection The drive chain slack and lubrication must be checked daily before riding in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart for safety and preventing excessive wear. If the chain becomes badly worn or maladjusted, it will lead excessive component wear and possible failure. If the chain is too tight, will accelerate the wear for chain, sprocket, rear sprocket and rear rim.

  • Page 86: Chain Tension Adjustment

    MAINTENANCE Chain tension inspection Place the transmission into Neutral gear. Park with the side stand on level ground. Push up the middle of the chain until it stops, and measure the distance of chain movement. If the chain tension is out of specification, adjust it to the standard.
  • Page 87 MAINTENANCE Wear inspection Place the transmission into Neutral gear. 12.6in. Support the vehicle with side stand. Apply chain tensioning or hanging a 22 lb. (10 kg) object on the chain. Measure the length between 20 links for elongation. If the measured length exceeds the standard limit, replace the chain with a new one.

  • Page 95: Electrical System And Light Signal

    MAINTENANCE Electrical System and Light Signal Battery The battery in this vehicle is a maintenance-free battery. Therefore, it is unnecessary to inspect the amount of battery electrolyte or add distilled water. To ensure optimum service life of the battery, keep the battery charged properly to ensure the battery has reserve capacity available at the starter motor.
  • Page 96 MAINTENANCE Battery Maintenance Always keep the battery fully charged, or may it damage the battery and result in a shorter life. If the vehicle is driven infrequently, inspect the battery voltage weekly with a voltmeter. If it drops below 12.8 volts, the battery should be charged with an appropriate charger (check with your dealer). If you will not use the vehicle for longer than 2 weeks, the battery should be tended with an appropriate trickle charger.
  • Page 97 MAINTENANCE Battery Disassembly Put the vehicle on the level ground and park. Turn off the engine and the vehicle power. Insert the key into the seat lock. Remove the seat Remove the black negative wire(-). Remove the red positive wire(+). Remove the battery belt Take out the battery.
  • Page 98 MAINTENANCE Battery maintenance Apply a mixture of baking soda and water with a soft brush to clean the battery top and terminals.
