COMPLAINT: Engine stalls
1. Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank.
2. Check to see that the spark plug is not fouled. Remove the spark plug and clean it.
Replace it, if necessary.
3. Make sure the fuel valve is not clogged, and the fuel tank is not clogged, either.
4. Check the idle speed. If necessary, adjust it using a tachometer. The correct idle
speed is 1500±150r/min.
5. Make sure the air filter is clean.
VEHICLE WASHING
Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down the color fading of its body and make it easier
to check if there is any damage and any oil leakage.
CAUTION
Washing the motorcycle with over-pressurized water may cause damage to some of its
components. Therefore, do not use a pressure washer to clean the vehicle. The following
parts should be cleaned using low pressure water:
- Wheel hub
- Exhaust pipe
- Fuel tank and lower portion of cushion
- Carburetor
- Ignition switch
- Air filter
1. After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to remove dirty residues
so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies should be cleaned by wiping with a
cloth or foam soaked in neutral detergent solution, followed by washing with clean water.
2. After the cleaned vehicle is air dried, grease the chain and run the engine at idling speed
for a few minutes.
3. Prior to driving, carefully check the braking system repeatedly and repair or adjust it if
necessary.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR STORAGE
If the vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time, for example, in winter time,
some steps should be taken to prevent malfunction of and damage to its components which
might be caused by long storage. Before storing the vehicle for a long period, proper
maintenance has to be done.
