Engine oil level
Before starting the engine, make sure to check the engine oil level.
If the level is low, you should add the recommended engine oil. DO NOT
overfill oil.
To check oil levels accurately, DO NOT check whilst the bike is on the side
stand.
Check when the bike is cold on level ground in the upright position
Look at the site glass on the right-hand side of the engine with the bike
upright on level ground.
You should see a bubble, note if the bubble is about half to a third of the
window your oil is
correct.
If you cannot see the bubble the engine oil may be overfilled, or you are
checking it whilst it is
hot.
If you cannot discern a bubble, you can first slightly lean the bike away from
you (towards the
side stand) and if the bubble appears then your engine oil is over full. Drain a
small amount of oil out.
We use a syringe to remove small amounts of oil.
Caution:
If you start your engine when there is not enough, too much or no oil in the
engine, the engine may be damaged severely. Before you start the engine,
check the engine oil levels.
Replacement Engine Oil
At the first service, the oil and oil filter will be changed. It needs to
be checked and replace every 4000 km thereafter.
Remove the oil cover and drain the bolt at the bottom of the engine
and let oil out, dispose of responsibly.
Chain Adjustment
Adjust the chain every 500km of riding.
Adjust the chain free play to 20-30mm. Always adjust the chain at the tight
spot, if any. Check the chain adjustment in at least four different positions.
According to your ride condition, you may need to adjust it more frequently.
Loosen the rear axle nut.
Loosen the lock nut on the adjuster.
Turn the adjustment bolt clockwise or anti-clockwise to adjust the chain free
play, making sure same on both sides.
After the adjustment is finished, tighten the lock nut on the rear axle.
Make a final check
Caution:
After new chains have been fitted, the two sprockets need to be checked for
wear and may need to be replaced if necessary.
