Engine Displacement:
8260cc (Implied by model name '8260', which is highly unusual for an ATV. This likely refers to a variant designation or a typo, as 8260cc is extremely large for an ATV. Typical ATV engines range from 100cc to 1000cc. Assuming this is a specific Linhai model designation rather than literal displacement, but the manual would clarify actual engine size.)
Engine Type:
Likely a multi-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine. Specific configuration (V-twin, inline, etc.) would be detailed in the manual.
Horsepower:
Not specified. The manual would contain this data.
Torque:
Not specified. The manual would contain this data.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely either a carburetor or electronic fuel injection (EFI) system, depending on the specific 8260 model variant. Manual will specify.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline
Valve Lash Adjustment:
Covered in manual (typically requires periodic adjustment for optimal performance and engine longevity).
Spark Plug Replacement:
Covered in manual, with recommended intervals and specifications.
Transmission Type:
Likely a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with high/low range, common in ATVs. Manual will confirm and detail.
Optional Transmissions:
Not typically offered on ATVs, but manual would confirm if any variants exist.
Drive Modes:
Likely 2WD/4WD selectable modes, potentially with differential lock. Manual will detail engagement and operation.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Not specified. Manual will list specific OEM or equivalent fluid specifications and change intervals.
Overall Length:
Not specified. Manual may contain this information.
Overall Width:
Not specified. Manual may contain this information.
Overall Height:
Not specified. Manual may contain this information.
Curb Weight:
Not specified. Manual will contain this information.
Towing Capacity:
Not specified. Manual will detail if the ATV is rated for towing.
Payload Capacity:
Not specified. Manual will detail cargo rack weight limits.
Crash Test Ratings:
N/A (ATVs are not typically rated by standard automotive safety organizations like NHTSA or IIHS.)
Braking System Type:
Likely disc brakes front and rear, with hydraulic actuation. Manual will detail specifications and maintenance.
Parking Brake:
Likely integrated into the rear braking system or a separate mechanism. Manual will specify operation and maintenance.
Rollover Protection:
Standard ATV design offers no integrated rollover protection; user safety relies on proper riding techniques and protective gear, as emphasized in operator manuals (not covered in this service manual directly, but implicitly important for repairs).
Lighting System:
Headlights, tail lights, brake lights. Manual covers electrical system for these.
Dashboard Display:
Likely includes speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, indicator lights (e.g., 4WD, engine warning). Manual will detail functionality.
Traction Control:
Not typically featured on utility ATVs, but would be specified if present.
Charging Ports:
May include a 12V power outlet or USB port. Manual would detail electrical system compatibility.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Not specified. Manual will detail recommended mileage or hour intervals.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Not specified. Manual will detail intervals and procedures.
Drive Belt Inspection Replacement:
Not specified for CVT. Manual will provide inspection intervals and replacement guidelines.
Engine Oil Type Capacity:
Not specified. Manual will list viscosity grade (e.g., 10W-40) and capacity in liters/quarts.
Coolant Type Capacity:
Not specified. Manual will list coolant type (e.g., ethylene glycol based) and capacity.
Brake Fluid Type:
Not specified. Manual will specify DOT 3 or DOT 4 requirement.
Common Wear Items:
Brake pads, tires, drive belt (if CVT), suspension bushings, bearings are common wear items on ATVs. The manual may highlight specific known issues for the 8260 model.
Diagnostic Tips:
Manual provides troubleshooting guides for common problems such as starting issues, poor running, or braking malfunctions.
Linhai Automotive:
Linhai-Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between Linhai Power Machinery Group and Yamaha Motor Corporation, focusing on manufacturing ATVs, motorcycles, and utility vehicles. This implies a strong influence of Yamaha engineering and quality standards.
8260 Model Context:
The '8260' designation is not a standard engine displacement. It likely signifies a specific model series or variant within Linhai's ATV lineup. The manual would provide context for this specific model's introduction and features compared to other Linhai ATVs.
Manufacturing Location:
China (for Linhai), with potential Yamaha oversight or component sourcing.
