CHAPTER ONE MAINTENANCE OF THE MOTORCYCLE Ⅰ. ITEMS OF MAINTENANCE When the motorcycle is used, loosening of parts and mechanical wear inevitably occur to varied extents. Neglect of timely maintenance not only reduces its mechanical function, economic performance, stability and durability, but also threatens the safety of the motorcycle and the rider.
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.
THROTTLE ACTUATION INSPECTION free travel:2-6mm Inspect throttle grip for easy and smooth movement. Inspect throttle free travel. Free travel: 2-6mm The main adjusting position is beside the tightening nut adjusting nut carburetor. Remove rear store case cover. Adjust by loosening the fastening nut and turning the adjusting nut.
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. That’s why the strainer must be cleaned every 2000-3000km and in dusty or rainy conditions strainer must be cleaned or replaced earlier.
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. brake caliper bolts front shock absorber * Do not pull brake lever when brake caliper is removed so as to prevent jamming of brake block.
2. Rear Shock Absorber Press rear shock absorber to inspect actuation. Inspect rear shock absorber to see if there is oil leakage and if there is damage or loosening in machine parts. Lift rear wheel, press rear wheel right and left to inspect if engine suspension lug buffer bush is loose.
Tire Specifications: Front wheel 3.0-10/3.50-10 Rear wheel 3.0-10/3.50-10 Inspect if front wheel nut is loose. front axle nut 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 rear axle nut X.
CHAPTER TWO MAINTENANCE INFORMATION I. FRAME NUMBER AND ENGINE NUMBER LOCATION frame number engine number 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.
Before connecting connectors, confirm that they are free from breakage, bending, over length or loosening. 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.
Mount spacer. Drive in right bearings. Bearings must be driven in parallel. Dust cover must be driven in with the face out. Apply grease to new dust cover lip. Mount front axle bush. Front Wheel Mounting Mount brake disc, tighten brake disc mounting bolts. Torque: 27N·m Spread front axle with a thin film of grease.

Grip brake lever fast and open exhaust valve 1/2 turn to let out air and lock exhaust valve. Repeat gripping this operation till no bubbles are exhausted from brake lever releasing...
Remove brake light switch and brake lever. Remove retaining ring from main cylinder. Use special retaining ring remover when removing retaining ring. Remove piston cover, piston and spring. Clean oil reservoir and piston with pure brake oil. Do not effect cleaning with gasoline as it is corrosive to rubber parts.
Remove 4 pieces of bolts on the upper part of front shock absorber. Remove shock absorber. bolt shock absorber Inspection Inspect if there is oil leakage in front shock absorber, if there is deformation of shock absorber arm and if there is damage or loosening of any part.

Remove front wheel; Remove front shock absorber, front fender head tube bracket, etc. bottom bearing cup,bearing top and ball set front fender Remove steering stem from head tube. bracket shock The removing of the bottom bearing cup, bearing absorber front wheel top and bearing set is the same as the removing of the upper series.
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. Loosen upper bearing top to torque 0 and fasten it.
Mounting Mount handlebar on steering stem guide tube, fit bush bush, setting bolt and nut. Torque: 45 N·m Mount left handlebar switch and fasten screws. bolt Torque: 9 N·m Mount front brake main cylinder and fasten bolts. Mount right handlebar switch and fasten screws. Torque: 9 N·m Apply grease to throttle cable.
Mounting Mount rear wheel and fasten rear axle nut. Torque: 120N·m Mount exhaust muffler. Fasten exhaust muffler connecting nuts and bolts. exhaust muffler Torque: Exhaust muffler connecting nut: 12N·m rear axle nut Exhaust muffler mounting bolt: 35N·m VII. REAR BRAKE SERVICE Remove exhaust muffler.
