|
Displacement:
|
Approximately 449cc (448.7cc common for this period)
|
Bore X Stroke:
|
Typical around 95 mm x 63.4 mm (specifics will be in manual)
|
Compression Ratio:
|
Varied, typically between 11.5:1 and 12.5:1
|
Performance
|
Horsepower:
|
Estimated 45-55 HP at peak RPM (manufacturer figures often conservative or unstated for racing models)
|
Torque:
|
Estimated 40-45 Nm (specifics would be in manual)
|
Cooling System:
|
Liquid-cooled (Radiator and fan)
|
Fuel System
|
Fuel Delivery:
|
Carburetor (e.g., Keihin FCR 39mm) or early EFI systems depending on precise model year and sub-variant
|
Fuel Type:
|
Unleaded gasoline, typically 91-98 RON
|
Lubrication
|
Oil Type:
|
Full synthetic motorcycle-specific 4-stroke oil (e.g., Motorex Power Synt 4T 10W-50 or similar) - manual will specify exact grade and API rating
|
Ignition
|

|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Every 10-15 hours of riding or monthly, whichever comes first (typical for competition use; manual provides definitive schedule).
|
Air Filter Cleaning:
|
After every riding session in dusty conditions, or every few hours of use. Manual will specify.
|
Spark Plug Replacement:
|
Typically every 30-50 hours of riding, or as needed based on condition. Manual will provide specific recommendations.
|
Valve Clearance Check:
|
Every 30-50 hours of riding (if applicable for the specific engine variant). Manual is crucial for this.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Capacity:
|
Approximately 1.2-1.5 Liters (check manual for exact capacity and dipstick/sight glass procedure).
|
Coolant Type:
|
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixture (e.g., 50/50 water/coolant). Manual will specify type and concentration.
|
Brake Fluid:
|
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid (manual will confirm specific type).
|
Known Issues
|
Potential Wear Items:
|
Clutch plates, piston rings, valve guides, suspension seals, wheel bearings, chain and sprockets are common wear items in competition use.
|
Common Failures:
|
Overheating if cooling system is not maintained, premature wear if proper maintenance schedules are not followed, potential carburation issues if not cleaned/tuned.
|
Preventative Maintenance Focus:
|
Regular cleaning, lubrication, fluid changes, and thorough inspection are critical for longevity, especially for a competition machine.
