Fuel Tank Capacity:
Approximately 7.5 - 8.0 liters (1.9 - 2.1 US gallons)
Engine Oil Change:
Every 10-15 hours of riding, or after significant racing events. For the gearbox oil, typically every 20-30 hours.
Air Filter Cleaning:
After every riding session, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Recommended every 20-30 hours of riding, or as needed based on inspection.
Top End Rebuild:
Typically recommended between 40-80 hours of riding, depending on riding style and maintenance quality.
Engine Oil Type:
Specific 2-stroke pre-mix oil (e.g., Motorex, Castrol, Yamalube - consult manual for exact specification and brand recommendations).
