Oil Change Interval:
|
Refer to manual (typically every 10-15 hours of riding for hard use, or 3000-5000 km for general use).
|
Air Filter Maintenance:
|
Regular cleaning/replacement, frequency depends on riding conditions (e.g., every 5-10 hours for dusty conditions).
|
Spark Plug Replacement:
|
Refer to manual (typically every 50-100 hours of riding or based on plug condition).
|
Chain Lubrication Adjustment:

|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Clutch plates, brake pads, chain and sprockets, fork seals, wheel bearings due to the high-performance nature of the bike and off-road use.
|
Electrical Connections:
|
Corrosion or loose connections in wiring harness can be an issue with off-road use; regular inspection is recommended.
