Engine Type:
Liquid-cooled, 125cc, 2-stroke, single-cylinder
Bore X Stroke:
Typically around 54mm x 54.5mm (subject to slight variations within the model year).
Induction:
Reed valve induction
Compression Ratio:
Estimated around 8.0:1 to 8.5:1 (specific to year and tuning).
Power Output:
Typically in the range of 30-35 HP, but can vary with exhaust and tuning.
Peak Torque:
Not explicitly stated, but designed for strong mid-range power delivery characteristic of 125cc 2-strokes.
Carburetor Model:
Likely a Keihin PWK series or similar (e.g., Keihin 35mm PWK).
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, typically requiring a 2-stroke oil premix or a separate oil injection system (check specific model variant).
Premix Ratio:
Commonly 50:1 or 40:1 depending on the 2-stroke oil used and operating conditions. Manual will specify exact recommendation.
Engine Oil Change:
Recommended every 10-15 hours of riding or annually, depending on usage intensity. Manual will provide specific intervals.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Frequent cleaning/replacement advised, especially after dusty riding conditions. Daily inspection recommended.
Spark Plug Inspection:
Check every 20-30 hours of riding. Replacement as needed.
Chain Maintenance:
Lubrication and tension adjustment before every ride or as needed based on wear.
Transmission Oil Type:
Manual will specify SAE 80W or 75W-90 gear oil. Capacity typically around 0.7-0.9 liters.
Fork Oil Type:
Specific viscosity and quantity required, likely a 5W or 7.5W fork oil.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Common Wear Items:
Piston rings, clutch plates, wheel bearings, fork seals, and exhaust packing are common wear items on 2-stroke off-road bikes.
Engine Performance Degradation:
Can occur with worn piston/cylinder, or issues with the powervalve system if equipped.
Carburetor Fouling:
May require periodic cleaning and adjustment, especially with varying fuel quality or pre-mix ratios.
