Unleaded gasoline (RON 95 or higher recommended), mixed with 2-stroke engine oil (typically 1:30 or 1:40 ratio).
Reed Valve System:
Standard for 2-stroke performance enhancement.
System:
Pre-mix fuel or separate oil injection system (Autolube).
Crash Test Results:
Not applicable for off-road motorcycles as they are not subject to standardized road vehicle crash testing.
Brakes:
Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. Specify caliper type (e.g., Brembo twin-piston front).
Suspension:
Adjustable WP suspension components for optimal handling and feedback.
Lighting:
Headlight and taillight for visibility (may not be street legal depending on configuration).
Frame Construction:
Robust steel trellis frame designed for off-road stress.
Oil Change:
Recommended every 5-10 hours of riding or annually. Specific gearbox oil change interval (e.g., every 20-30 hours).
Spark Plug:
Inspect every 10-15 hours, replace as needed. Use a resistor type (e.g., NGK BR7ES or equivalent).
Air Filter:
Clean after every few rides, especially in dusty conditions. Replacement interval depends on filter type and usage.
Top End Rebuild:
Recommended every 80-120 hours of hard riding for piston and ring replacement. Crankshaft bearing life varies.
Gearbox Oil:
SAE 75W/80 or 75W/90 GL-3 or GL-4 hypoid gear oil (e.g., Motorex Gear Oil).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors. Typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water (e.g., Motorex Coolant).
2 Stroke Oil:
High-quality synthetic or semi-synthetic 2-stroke engine oil designed for racing/performance applications (e.g., Motorex Cross Power 2T).
Carburetor Jetting:
Sensitivity to altitude and temperature changes, often requires re-jetting for optimal performance. OEM jetting can be lean.
Clutch Wear:
Clutch plates and springs can wear over time, especially with aggressive riding. Symptoms include clutch slippage.
Crankshaft Seals:
Leaking crankshaft seals can cause air leaks, leading to poor running or lean conditions.
Cooling System Leaks:
Aging hoses or seals can lead to coolant leaks; regular inspection is crucial.
Exhaust Packing:
Silencer packing can degrade over time, affecting sound and performance; requires periodic repacking.
