SPECIFICATION

This manual describes matters pertaining to correct operation,
safe operation and simple maintenance of the vehicle you
purchased.
To ensure more comfortable and safer operation, make sure to
read this manual carefully prior to operation.
●The photographs and drawings shown in this manual may
differ from those of actual vehicles due to changes in vehicle
specifications and modifications made.
●This motorcycle is designed for 2 riders including the
operator.
●Careful driving and the wearing of proper attire and safety
equipment are the most important factors in the safe operation
of the vehicle. Please obey traffic regulations and do not be
hurried and careless.
●Many new vehicle owners operate their newly purchased
vehicles with great care and attention to safety factors.
However, after becoming accustomed to the operations are
often discarded, which can lead to accidents. Please don't let
this happen to you and always approach the operation of your
vehicle with the safety considerations needed.
When operating the motorcycle, always keep in mind and
obey the notes of precaution printed on the
““Safety
Precaution Label”” attached to the motorcyle.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
●Do not use polluted gasoline.
Using polluted gasoline will cause rust inside the
fuel tank, and will close the supply of fuel to the
carburetor, leading to an improper engine starting
or may cause serious damage to an engine.
●Do not use polluted or low-grade oil.
Always use genuine oil to protect and extend
motorcycle performance and its life span.
●If any failure occurs due to the use of polluted
gasoline or oil, such failure will be excluded from
being eligible for repairs under the warranty.
●Always wear helmet.
●Always put on gloves.
●Observe posted speed limits.
●Park the motorcycle away from people (especially
children) as the muffler can get very hot.
●For safety, do not illegally modify the vehicle.
●Regularly conduct specified maintenance
inspections.
<Maintenance Inspection Points>
Brakes, Tires, Oil, Lights, Horn, Instruments

●Read user's manual carefully.
●Conduct maintenance checks prior to operation.
●Always maintain motorcycle in clean status and carry out
specified maintenance checks.
●Make sure to stop engine and stay away from fire when
fueling.
●Exhaust gas contains harmful substance such as carbon
monoxide. Start engine in well-ventilated places.
●Always make sure to wear helmet for safety. Wear gloves and
safety goggles.
●Do not wear uniforms which might hinder operation. It is
dangerous if the uniform is caught by brake lever or by the
rotating part of drive chain.
●Do not wear slippers which might obstruct brake operation or
transmission gear operation.
●Many automobile/motorcycle accidents happen because the
automobile driver does not “see” the motorcyclist.
Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid the accident that
wasn’t your fault :
- Wear bright or reflective clothing.
- Don’t ride in another motorist’s “blind spot”.
5
PRIOR TO STARTING VEHICLE CORRECT ATTIRE
WARNING
●Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash.
●Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet,
eye protection and other protective apparel when you
ride.

●Operators should naturally fix bodies to keep smooth driving.
●Please check whether or not you are unnaturally strained and
strung up.
●Driving pose has a great influence on safe operation.
Please always maintain the center of your body in the middle of
seat. Especially do not sit at the rear seat because it may lessen
the weight of front wheel and cause trembling steering wheel.
●A passenger should hold on to the vehicle or the operator with
both hands and keep both feet on the pillion step bar.
●When wanting to turn, slightly lean to body toward the
direction of the turn. It is unsafe if the body is not moved in
union with the vehicle.
●Curvy roads and poor, unpaved roads constantly change in
surface quality. Driving on these roads can be unsafe if certain
safety precautions are not followed.
●In order to safely drive through these driving conditions,
anticipate coming road conditions, slow down to at least half
the normal speed, and relax your shoulders and wrists while
securely holding the handles.
●Driving with one or both hands not holding the handles or the
front wheel lifted can cause severe injury or death of the driver
resulted from the turnover of the vehicle.
6
OPERATION
A helmet should always be
worn and the helmet chin
strap should be securely
fastened.
Always put on gloves.
Correct shirts or jackets with
tight-fitting sleeves should be
worn,
Shoes should fit properly, and shoes having little or
no heel should be worn.

●When carrying cargo, you must keep in mind that operating the
motorcycle, especially when turning, will be different.
●Make sure not to overload the motorcycle with goods as this
can make the motorcycle unstable during operation.
7
CARGO
CAUTION
●Only load cargo in or on designated areas as
placing or fastening cargo to other areas can cause
damage to the vehicle.
●Do not place articles between the frame body
cover and engine as this can burn the goods.
●Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a
sleeping bag or tent) to the handle bars or fork.
Unstable handling or slow steering response may
result.
MAXIMUM LOAD : 30kg
WARNING
●Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
●Follow all load limits in this manual.

8
●Modification of vehicle structure of function deteriorates
manipulatability or causes exhaust noise to become louder
shortening the vehicle life. These modifications are not only
prohibited by law but also are the acts harmful to other people.
Modifications are not covered by warranty.
●Except designated attachment by DAELIM MOTOR CO.,
LTD., don't attach any extra lighting device, because it may
cause an early discharging of battery.
●Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure it does not
obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle,
or limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation.
●Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the
motorcycle’s electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
●This vehicle was not designed to pull a sidecar or trailer.
Handling may be seriously impaired of so equipped.
●Pay particular attention to fellow passenger so that he/she can
prevent getting burnt by the hot muffler during travel.
ATTACHMENT
MUFFLER
CAUTION
●Do not park in the place where many pedestrians
are passing through. Pedestrians or children can be
