PRECAUTIONS ABOUT ADDING ACCESS-
ORIES AND PREPARATION BEFORE RIDING

your Zhenhua motorcycle, but unnecessary and
unsuitable accessories would invite trouble for your
riding. It is impossible for Zhenhua to check the
quality of every accessory in the market, but our
service station can supply you with high quality
accessories and can equip properly for you.
Please choose and add accessories carefully and
you should comply with the following instruction:
(1) When adding the extra weight accessory and the
accessory in the direction towards wind,
The adding position should be lower; it should
approach the center of gravity and the body of
motorcycle. To make sure it added fastened, the
brackets and accessories should be carefully checked
in; unfastened equipment will cause the diversion
from the center of the gravity and inviting
unnecessary trouble.
(2) Checking the off-ground height of accessory
and the angle, the improper adding will make the two
aspects unsafe, also the accessory adding should not
hinder parking, diverting and other manipulating.
(3)To avoid the unbalance problems, the accessory
should not add on the steering wheel and the front
fork.
(4)Some accessory adding may cause the seat of the
driver diverting from the original position, this
doesn’t only restrict the range of driver’s action, but
limit his skill of operating as well.

electric system, on some over-weighted conditions,
the accessory may be destroyed or the power may be
cut off.

body of the motorcycle; the improper adding would
invite trouble for your driving and manipulating. The
size of the accessory would affect the air-resistance
and the manipulating. Please make sure the two
side’s balance and the accessories fasten.

FUEL AND ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDA-
TION
FUEL
Please use unleaded [GB17930-1999] petrol
with a octane number of 91 or high. Using the
unleaded high quality oil can prolong the life of your
motorcycle and can also contribute to environmental
protection.
ENGINE OIL
The engine oil used in this motorcycle conforms
to Chinese National Standards GB11121-95 and
American National Standards SAEJ183E80. Please
use good quality 10W/40QE engine oil. Zhenhua
special engine oil, band four-strobe 15w/40 engine
oil, is strongly recommended to use. Mixed oil with
different brand is unallowable.
Choose the different engine oil according to the
various area and climate.
14

The following items are the different engine oil
use in sphere of application.
BREAK-IN FOR A NEW MOTORCYCLE
The forward explains how important the proper
running-in is to achieve maximum life and
performance of your new motorcycle. The following
guidelines explain proper running-in procedures.
The following table shows the maximum
recommended throttle opening during the break-in
period:
Initial 800 km
less than 1/2
To 1600km
less than2/3
VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed should be varied and not hold
at a constant speed. This allows the parts to be
“loaded” with pressure, and then unloaded,
allowing the parts to cool. This aids the mating
process of the parts.
It is essential that some stress be placed on the
engine components during bread-in to ensure this
mating process. Do not, though, apply excessive load
on the engine.
15

AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED
Operating the engine at constant low speed (light
load) for a long time can cause parts to graze and
not fit close to each other. Allow the engine to
accelerate freely through the gears, without
exceeding the recommended maximum limits. Do
not, however, use full throttle for the first 1600 km.
ALLOW THE ENGINE OIL TO CIRCULATE
BEFORE RIDING
Allow sufficient idling time after warm or cold
engine start up before applying load or reviving the
engine. This allows time for the lubricating oil to
reach all critical engine components.
PERFORM THE NECESSARY PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE
The initial 1000 km service is the most important
to your motorcycle. During break-in all of the
engine components will fit close to each other
sufficiently. All adjustments will be restored, all
fasteners will be tightened, and the dirty oil will be
replaced.
Timely service during the 1000km service will
ensure optimum service life and the best
performance of the engine.
WARNING
Maintenance for 1000km should be
according to the “maintenance planning” in
the specification. Pay more attention to the
“NOTE”& “WARNING”.
