Cooling Method:
Liquid-Cooled
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10-15 hours of off-road riding or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for precise intervals.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Regularly, especially after dusty rides. Clean and re-oil foam filter as needed.
Spark Plug Inspection:
Every 20-30 hours of riding. Check gap and condition.
Valve Clearance Check:
