Engine Break-In Period There is never a more important period in the life of your scooter than period between zero and 1500 km (900 miles). For this reason we ask that you carefully read the following material. You should not place an excessive load on the engine for the first 1,500 km (900 miles). The various parts in a new engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operation clearances during this period.
Periodic Maintenance and Minor Repair Period inspection, adjustments, and lubrication will keep your scooter in the safest and most efficient condition possible. You must take into consideration that weather, terrain, geographical locations, and variety of causes all tend to demand that each owner alter the time schedule for regular maintenance to shorter intervals.
Engine Oil 1. Oil Level Measurement a. Place the scooter on the center stand. Warm up the engine for several minutes. b. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes until the oil levels before removing the dipstick. c. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum mark on the dipstick.
Gear Oil Replacement Replace the gear oil after the initial 300 km(180 miles). Thereafter, replace oil again every 4 months or 3000 km (1800 miles), whichever occurs first. Best done when gear oil is warm. Do as Described Below for Replacement: 1) Put the scooter on the center stand.
Spark Plug Inspection The spark plug is an important engine component. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the condition of the engine. Therefore, you should periodically inspect it for signs of deterioration. The ideal color of the white insulator around the center electrode is a medium to light tan color for a scooter that is being ridden under normal conditions.
Brake Lever Free Play Adjustment The front brake lever free play should be adjusted to 2-5mm at the brake lever end. The rear brake lever free play should be adjusted to 2-5mm at the brake lever end. Note: When it is impossible to make adjustments on your own, consult your local dealer for professional guidance.
Brake Fluid Replacement 1. Complete fluid replacement should only be completed by trained professionals. 2. Have a dealer replace the following components during periodic maintenance, when they are damaged or leaking. a. Replace all rubber seals every two years. b. Replace all hoses every four years. Brake Lever Lubrication Lubricate the pivoting parts of both brake levers.
Front Fork Inspection Securely support the scooter so there is no danger of it falling over. 1. Visual Check: For scratches or damage to the inner tube and excessive oil leakage from the front fork 2. Operation Check: a. Place the scooter on level ground b.
Steering Inspection Periodically inspect the condition of the steering. Worn out or loose steering bearings may be dangerous. Place a stand under the engine to raise the front wheel off of the ground. Hold the lower end of the front forks and try to move them forward and backward. If any free play can be felt, ask a dealer to inspect and adjust the steering.
Battery This scooter uses a sealed type battery. It is unnecessary to check and add liquid. NOTE: The battery will lose its charge if the scooter is not operated for an extended period of time. Remove the battery from the scooter and charge it fully when not in use. Store it in a place with adequate ventilation.
