Oil Capacity:
Approximately 1.5-1.8 Liters (check manual for precise figure)
Oil Type Specification:
SAE 10W-40 or 15W-50 API SG, SH, SJ, SL or JASO MA/MA2 (verify with manual)
Oil Change Interval:
Every 3,000-5,000 km (1,800-3,000 miles) or annually, whichever comes first. (Consult manual for exact figures).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Every 1,000-2,000 km (600-1,200 miles) or as needed based on riding conditions.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 6,000-10,000 km (3,700-6,200 miles) or annually. (Check for specific plug type and gap).
Valve Clearance Check:
Typically every 6,000-10,000 km (3,700-6,200 miles). (Requires specialized tools and knowledge).
Chain And Sprockets Inspection:
Regularly inspect for wear and tension. Lubricate every 500 km (300 miles) or after riding in wet conditions.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 (or DOT 5.1 if specified for higher performance)
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixture (50/50 water/coolant recommended, color may vary).
Fork Oil Type Viscosity:

Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, chain and sprockets, brake pads, fork seals, wheel bearings, and air filter element are common wear items requiring periodic replacement.
Efi System Considerations:
Ensure proper battery voltage for reliable EFI operation. Occasional cleaning of the throttle body may be beneficial.
Engine Vibration:
Single-cylinder engines can produce noticeable vibration; proper engine mounting and rider technique mitigate this.
