The Yamaha PW50 2012 requires a mix of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 32:1. Use high-quality oil to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
It is recommended to clean the air filter every 10-15 hours of riding, or more frequently if you ride in dusty conditions. A clean air filter ensures proper air flow and engine performance.
Common issues include starting problems, poor acceleration, and excessive smoking. Check the spark plug, clean the carburetor, and ensure the fuel mixture is correct to troubleshoot these problems.
To adjust the throttle limiter, locate the screw on the right handlebar where the throttle cable meets the grip. Turning the screw clockwise will limit throttle range, making it safer for beginner riders.
The recommended tire pressure for the Yamaha PW50 2012 is 15 psi for both front and rear tires. Maintaining the correct tire pressure ensures optimal handling and safety.
Regularly clean and lubricate the chain every 5-10 hours of riding. Check for proper tension, which should have about 1/2 inch of slack when adjusted correctly.
If your PW50 won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the fuel valve is open, inspect the spark plug for fouling, and verify the kill switch is set to 'run'.
To change the spark plug, first remove the spark plug cap, use a spark plug wrench to unscrew the old plug, and replace it with a new one, ensuring it's properly gapped and tightened.
For off-season storage, clean the bike thoroughly, drain the fuel tank, remove the battery, and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the bike to protect it from dust and moisture.
To check the oil level, remove the oil cap, and ensure the oil is at the recommended level line. If adjustment is needed, add appropriate 2-stroke oil to maintain the correct level.
