SAFE RIDING RULES
WARNING Motorcycle riding requires special efforts on your part to ensure
safety. Know these requirements before you ride.
Always make a pre-ride inspection before you start the engine. You may prevent
accident or equipment damage.
Most countries require a special motorcycle riding test or license. Make sure you are
qualified before you ride. NEVER lend your motorcycle to an inexperienced rider.
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”.
Don’t speedily cross another’s way.
Obey all national and local laws and regulations.
Obey the speed limits, and NEVER travel faster than conditions warrant.
Signal before you make a turn or lane change to draw other motorists’ attention.
Use extra caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and exits.
Always remember to ride with both hands and keep both feet on the rider footrest while
the passenger grasps the handrail with both feet on the rear footrest.
PROTECTIVECLOTHS
For the safety sake, always wear a helmet, a face shield, dust glasses and protective
clothing. Your passenger needs the same protection.
The exhaust system becomes hot during operation, and it remains hot for a while after
stopping the engine. Take care not to touch the exhaust system while it is hot. Wear
clothing that fully covers your legs.
Do not wear loose clothing that could catch on the control levers, wheels, etc.
REFITTING
WARNING Arbitrarily refitting the motorcycle or removing the original parts
MOTORCYCLE SAFE RIDING
may make riding unsafe, and is illegal also. The user must obey all national and local
laws and regulations in relation to vehicle and traffic. If you have a good proposal
concerning refitting of the motorcycle, please write us. The refitment can be done with
permission of the Co. Otherwise, the user will take the consequences.
LOADING
WARNING Addition of accessories and cargo may reduce the motorcycle’s
stability, performance and safe operating speed.
Keep cargo and accessory weight lower and close to the center of the motorcycle. Load
weight equally on both sides to minimize imbalance. As weight is located further from
the motorcycle’s center of gravity, handling is proportionally affected.
Adjust tyre pressure and rear suspension to suit load weight and riding conditions.
Make sure that cargo is fastened on the vehicle.
Do not attach items to the handlebars, fork or fender. Otherwise, unstable handling or
slow steering response may occur.
The maximum load weight of the motorcycle is 150kg. Please do not overload.
ACCESSORIES
Genuine accessories of LF Motors have been specifically designed and tested on the
motorcycle. Beacuse the factory cannot test all other accessories, you are personally re-
sponsible for selection, installation and use of accessories not produced by the Co. Al-
ways follow Safe Riding Rules and these below:
Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure that it does not obscure any lights, reduce
ground clearance or banking angle, or limit suspension travel, steering travel or con-
trol operation.
Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle’s electrical system
capacity.

FUELAND ENGINE OIL(EP)
Fuel Selection
Fuel is a key factor in deciding the exhaust emissions
from the engine, so selection of fuel must follow the
rules below. Selected fuel must be unleaded gasoline with
octane No. RQ-93 or higher. Using improper fuel could
reduce performance, shorten the engine’s service life.
Engine Oil Selection (Fig. 7)
The quality of the engine oil plays a vital role in deciding
the engine performance and service. Engine oil must be
selected in accordance with rules below and other oils, such as ordinary engine oil, gear
oil and vegetable oil, are forbidden to be used.
The vehicle has been filled with engine oil SAE15W/30-SE before being delivered. The
lubricant is only suitable at a temperature range within 20 35 . If other motor oil
is to be used instead, the alternative must be technically equivalent in every respect.
Viscosity varies with regions and temperatures, so the lubricant has to be selected accord-
ing to our recommendation.
If there is no gasoline engine oil SAE15W/40-SE, the engine oil No. HQB-10 (or HQB-
6 in regions where the temperature is lower than 10 ) can be used instead.

OPERATIONGUIDE
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
Inspect your motorcycle every time before you ride it. The items listed here will only take
a few minutes to inspect, and in the long run they can save time, expense, and possibly
your life.
1. Engine oil level - add engine oil if required. Check for leaks.
2. Fuel level - fill fuel tank when necessary. Check for leaks.
3. Coolant level - fill the reverse when necessary. Check for leaks.
4. Front and rear brakes - check operation and adjust free play if necessary.
5. Tyres - check condition and pressure.
6. Battery eletrolyte - check that the electrolyte is suitable.
7. Throttle - check for smooth opening and full closing in all steering position.
8. Lights and horn - check that headlight, tail/brake light, winkers, parking light, indi-
cators and horn function properly.
9. Drive chain - check condition and slack. Adjust and lubricate if necessary.
10. Steering system - check for its smoothness and reliability.
11. Fastener - check that all nuts, screws and bolts are mounted securely.
Correct any discrepancy before you ride. Contact your dealer for assistance if you cannot
correct the problem.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING Do not start the engine in a narrow area to prevent accidents. The
exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas that cause loss of conscious-
ness and lead to death.
PRINCIPLE OF FUEL EVAPORATING SYSTEM (EP)
Fuel Evaporating System (See attachment below)
System working priniple: mainly consists of an adsorption and a desorption process.
When the fuel evaporation comes out from the fuel tank, the evaporation is absorbed and
storaged by active carbon in the canister via pipe to make sure no it let off into the
atmosphere. After starting the engine, inhale a certain amount of fresh air from the can by
negative pressure via intak pipe, make the fuel moleucles of active carbon surface are
sucked into the engine for burning, relying on these fresh air dirve between the flow of
activie carbon.
