CHECK-UPS, ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE

Checking the Oil
Check the engine oil each time prior to operating the dirt bike.
The oil level should be between the upper and lower lines of the oil fill cap/
dipstick.
1. Set the motorcycle on level ground. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick, wipe
it clean and then insert the dipstick into the crankcase again to check the
oil level. There is no need to screw the oil fill cap/dipstick into its hole in
the crankcase.
2. Add lubricating oil to upper line of oil fill cap/dipstick when needed, but
do not overfill.
3. Finally screw on oil fill cap/dipstick tightly.
CAUTION
Never start the engine when there is
insufficient lubricating oil. Otherwise, it
will cause harm to the engine.
Lubricating Oil Recommended
The lubricating oil is an important factor affecting the performance and
service life of the engine. Please refer to the chart for the correct grade of
engine oil based on the environmental conditions in your area. Do not use
any other type of oil other than what is recommended in the chart. DO NOT
MIX OIL WITH THE GASOLINE.
Lubricating oils of different
viscosity shall be employed
in different regions and at
different temperatures.
