You should use a high-quality 4-stroke motorcycle engine oil with a viscosity grade of 10W-40. Ensure the oil meets JASO MA standards for optimal performance.
It is recommended to change the oil every 600 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and longevity.
The recommended tire pressure is 15 psi for the front tire and 18 psi for the rear tire for off-road use. Always check the pressure when the tires are cold.
To clean the air filter, remove it from the air box, wash it with a non-flammable solvent, let it dry, and then apply a thin layer of air filter oil. Reinstall it after ensuring it's completely dry.
The recommended spark plug is NGK CR8E. Ensure it is gapped correctly to 0.7-0.8 mm for optimal ignition performance.
Check the spark plug for fouling, ensure the battery is charged, verify fuel flow, and inspect the ignition coil. These are common areas to address when experiencing starting issues.
The chain slack should be adjusted to 30-40 mm when measured at the tightest point. Ensure the bike is on a stand and the chain is at operating tension when checking.
Adjust the suspension by turning the clickers on the forks and shock. For a softer ride, turn the clickers counter-clockwise; for a firmer ride, turn them clockwise. Refer to the manual for baseline settings.
Valve clearances should be checked every 3,000 miles. Regular checks help maintain engine efficiency and prevent potential damage.
Common signs include difficulty shifting gears, a slipping clutch, and a change in clutch lever feel. If you experience these issues, inspect and replace the clutch plates if necessary.
