Reed Valve System:
|
Petal reed valve intake
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Routine Checks:
|
Daily/Pre-ride: Chain tension, tire pressure, oil/fuel level, brake function, bolts tightness.
|
Air Filter Cleaning:
|
Every few rides or as conditions dictate. Critical for 2-stroke engine health.
|
Spark Plug Replacement:
|
Recommended every 20-40 hours of riding or as per manual. Plug fouling is common in 2-strokes.
|
Top End Rebuild:
|
Recommended every 40-80 hours depending on riding style and maintenance. Piston rings, piston, cylinder inspection.
|
Gearbox Oil Change:
|
Every 15-20 hours of riding. Use specific motorcycle gear oil.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Type:
|
High-quality 2-stroke premix oil. Refer to manual for specific grade and ratio (e.g., JASO FD or equivalent).
|
Gearbox Oil Type:
|
SAE 10W-40 or 20W-40 motorcycle transmission oil (API GL-4 or GL-5). Check manual for exact specification.
|
Fork Oil Type:
|
Specific suspension fork oil. Weight and quantity (e.g., SAE 5W or 10W) are critical and detailed in the manual.
|
Coolant Type:
|
Permanent type antifreeze coolant (e.g., ethylene glycol based) mixed with distilled water. Check manual for ratio and type.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Piston rings, piston, cylinder bore, clutch plates, wheel bearings, steering head bearings, swingarm bearings.
|

|
Can be sensitive to altitude and temperature changes, requiring jetting adjustments.
|
Suspension Seals:
|
Fork seals can wear and leak, requiring replacement.
|
Ignition System:
|
CDI unit or stator failure is rare but possible. Spark plug fouling is common if not maintained.
