MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Proper care of your motorcycle will ensure optimal performance and
a longer life span. The following are a few maintenance suggestions
that will keep your motorcycle running in top condition:
Daily Maintenance:
Perform each time you ride your motorcycle.
Clean fuel leakage or air leakage.
Check that all nuts and bolts are securely tightened.
Weekly/ Monthly Maintenance:
Check the pull starter, especially the cord and return spring.
Remove the spark plug and check the electrode gap.
Adjust it to 0.6mm, or change the spark plug.
Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder head and check that the air intake at
the starter is not clogged.
Clean the air filter.
If the bike hasn’t used for a long time, it must be maintained as:
1. Remove the fuel in the tank and in the carburetor, close the chock totally,
and draw the starter 3-5 times.
2. Take down the sparking plug, add certain engine oil from the spark plug
hole into the cylinder, and draw the starter 2-3 times to move the piston to
the top dead center, then install the spark plug.
3. Use the soft cloth with engine oil to clean the surface of the engine, smear
wax on the frame, and put the engine in a dry and windy place for the next
use.
