Always use genuine oil to protect and extend vehicle
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.
●As far as any defect caused by contaminated gasoline or
oil, the warranty will be automatically invalidated.
●Be sure to wear helmet at all time.
●Be sure to put on gloves at all time.
●Observe the speed regulations.
