CHECKING & CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Air filter is located under left side plastic cowling.
Cowling will need to be removed.
Take the air filter out and check to see if it is dirty or
torn.
Remove foam element and wash with water and allow
it to dry per instructions below.
Apply a few drops of machine oil. Squeeze it with a dry
cloth to remove excess oil.
Recommended oil:
SAE 15W-40
CAUTION
The air filter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and dirt, resulting in a
shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the filter when washing the vehicle.
The filter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent it from cracking.
Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or organic volatile oil to avoid its aging,
which will result in reducing the effect of the air filter oil to catch particles before they enter
the engine. Replace the element with a new one if it is broken or cracked.
ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLE
Make sure the throttle works normally.
Check if the throttle twist grip has the required free operating movement.
The required free operating movement: 2-6mm (0.078 inches - 0.24 inches) If the grip
cannot be moved freely, turn the adjusting nut located on top of the throttle twist grip to
ensure proper operating movement.
After adjustment, start the engine and check for the operating movement again. Repeat the
adjustment if necessary until the desired operating movement is obtained.
