Binding:
Digital Download (Printable)
Paper:
Not applicable (Digital Format)
Configuration:
Single Cylinder, 4-Stroke
Displacement:
Approximately 450cc (exact bore/stroke may vary slightly)
Cooling System:
Liquid-Cooled
Valve Train:
SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft), typically 4 valves
Bore X Stroke:
Typically around 97mm x 57.8mm for a 450cc class engine, but requires manual confirmation.
Estimated Horsepower:
Likely in the 40-50 HP range, depending on tuning and exhaust.
Estimated Torque:
Torque figures would be specific but indicative of strong low-end and mid-range power for supermoto use.
Induction:
Carburetor (e.g., Keihin FCR series) or early fuel injection depending on exact specification.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline (95 RON recommended)
Oil Type:
Motorcycle-specific 4-stroke engine oil, SAE 10W-40 or 10W-50, JASO MA/MA2 certified.
Oil Capacity:
Typically around 1.0 - 1.2 liters, check manual for exact figure.
Vehicle Safety:
Motorcycles are not typically crash-tested like cars; safety relies on rider skill and braking performance.
Brakes:
Hydraulic Disc Brakes (Front and Rear) - Likely Brembo or comparable.
Suspension:
Adjustable front forks (e.g., Marzocchi, WP) and rear monoshock for stability and control.
Frame Design:
Strong, lightweight chassis designed for agility and durability.
Oil Change:
Every 3,000-5,000 km or annually, whichever comes first (check manual for specific).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Every 1,000-2,000 km or as needed in dusty conditions.
Spark Plug Inspection:
Every 5,000-10,000 km (check gap and condition).
Chain Lubrication And Adjustment:
Every 500-1,000 km or after riding in wet conditions.
Valve Clearance Check:
Every 10,000-15,000 km (critical for performance and engine longevity).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 recommended (check manual for specific compatibility).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with anti-corrosion additives, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Fork Oil:
Specific viscosity and type required by the front suspension manufacturer (e.g., Motorex, Bel-Ray).
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, chain and sprockets, brake pads, tires, wheel bearings due to performance use.
Potential Issues:
Carburetor jetting sensitivity to altitude/temperature, potential stator or regulator/rectifier issues (common on older bikes), occasional coolant leaks at hose connections.
Carburetor Tuning Sensitivity:
Single-cylinder performance engines can be sensitive to ambient conditions; manual details proper jetting for various scenarios.
