Engine Type:
Four-stroke, Single-cylinder (likely derived from Rotax or similar, specific engine code not provided but W16 600 indicates displacement)
Engine Displacement:
Approximately 600cc (as per model name)
Bore X Stroke:
Specific dimensions not provided, but typical for 600cc single-cylinder engines of the era would be around 94mm x 107mm (example, requires manual verification)
Compression Ratio:
Typically around 9.0:1 to 10.0:1 for this engine size and era (requires manual verification)
Horsepower:
Estimated 40-45 HP (requires manual verification)
Torque:
Estimated 35-40 lb-ft (requires manual verification)
Carburetor Type:
Likely a single large-bore carburetor (e.g., Dell'Orto PHM 40 or similar)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline (premium grade recommended)
Oil Capacity:
Typically around 1.5-2.0 liters (requires manual verification)
Oil Type:
API SG or higher, SAE 10W-40 or 10W-50 motorcycle specific oil (requires manual verification)
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000-5,000 km or annually (requires manual verification)
Chain Maintenance Interval:
