Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline (90+ Octane Recommended)
Engine Oil Change:
Refer to manual: Typically every 10-20 hours of riding or annually.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Refer to manual: Highly recommended after each significant ride in dusty conditions.
Spark Plug Inspection:
Refer to manual: Typically every 15-25 hours of riding.
Valve Clearance Check:
Refer to manual: Critical interval, often around 20-30 hours initially, then repeated.
Engine Oil:
SAE 10W/40 Motorcycle Specific (JASO MA/MA2 certified), API SG or higher. Refer to manual for exact specification.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, 50/50 mix with distilled water. Refer to manual for specific type.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 (or DOT 3 if specified for older systems). Refer to manual for exact specification.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, wheel bearings, steering head bearings, swingarm bearings, fork seals, exhaust packing (muffler).
Potential Failures:
While generally robust, improper maintenance can lead to premature wear of engine internals, particularly if oil changes or valve adjustments are neglected. Electrical connectors can be prone to corrosion in off-road environments.
