Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Consult manual, typically every 10-15 hours of riding for engine oil (though this is a 2-stroke, so gearbox oil is critical).
|
|
Gearbox Oil Change Interval:
|
Consult manual, typically every 15-20 hours of riding.
|
|
Air Filter Cleaning:
|
Regularly, depending on riding conditions (e.g., every 5-10 hours).
|
|
Spark Plug Replacement:
|
Consult manual, typically every 40-60 hours or as needed.
|
|
Valve Clearance Check:
|
N/A (2-stroke engine does not have valves in the conventional sense, but power valve operation should be checked).
