To perform an oil change, warm up the engine, place the bike on a stand, remove the oil drain plug, and let the oil drain completely. Replace the oil filter, reinstall the drain plug, and fill with the recommended oil type and quantity.
The recommended tire pressure is typically 36 psi for the front tire and 42 psi for the rear tire. Always refer to the owner's manual for confirmation.
Check the battery charge and connections, inspect the fuel supply, and ensure the kill switch is off. If problems persist, examine the spark plugs and starter relay.
Follow a maintenance schedule that includes regular oil changes every 3,000 miles, checking tire pressure, chain lubrication every 600 miles, and a full inspection annually.
Loosen the axle nut, adjust the tensioner bolts evenly on both sides to achieve the correct slack, usually around 1-2 inches, then retighten the axle nut.
Use a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors suitable for aluminum engines, as specified in the owner's manual.
Remove the caliper bolts, slide out the caliper, remove the old brake pads, insert new pads, and reattach the caliper. Ensure the brake fluid level is correct and test the brakes before riding.
Check the coolant level and for leaks, ensure the radiator fan is operational, and inspect the thermostat. If these are fine, consider a professional diagnosis.
Elevate the rear wheel, use a chain cleaner and brush to remove grime, then apply a suitable chain lubricant evenly while rotating the wheel.
Maintain proper tire pressure, ensure regular servicing, avoid aggressive riding, and use high-quality fuel to improve fuel efficiency.
