Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment 30 31 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CARTRIDGE
The Engine oil level should be checked before each operation. In addition, the oil
must be changed and oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
SERVICE ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL
You must change the oil in the crankcase after the first 5 hours of operating of
your new engine and after 10 hours of use thereafter. This will ensure proper
lubrication of the internal parts and prevent costly repairs due to excessive wear.
1. Remove the screen cap drain plug located forward of the engine oil fill plug
on the bottom right side of the engine. Upon removal of the plug, a filter
screen will be visible. Elevating the front of the vehicle slightly will help drain
all of the oil out.
2. Empty all of the oil into a suitable container.
3. Remove and clean the oil screen.
4. With the oil completely drained, replace the screen and drain plug, then
tighten securely.
5. Replace the vehicle back on a flat surface to level the engine, and refill the
crankcase with 30 oz of SAE 10W40 motor oil.
6. Check the oil level using the dipstick attached to the oil plug cap. Be sure
to the check oil level before each use of the vehicle.
7. Add oil when necessary to keep the oil level between then bottom of the
dipstick and the “O” mark.
SERVICE SPARK PLUG
1. Remove the spark plug and inspect it each time
you change the oil. (use a spark plug wrench). The
electrodes should be kept clean and free of carbon. The
presence of the carbon or excess oil will greatly reduce
proper engine performance. If possible, check the spark
plug gap (area between the electrodes) using a wire
feeler gauge. This specification is 0.7-0.8mm.
2. Before installing spark plug, coat threads lightly with
graphite grease, if possible, to ensure easy removal next
time the spark plug needs inspection.
3. It is advisable to replace the spark plug at least
once a year to insure easy starting and good engine
performance.
CHAIN LUBRICATION
To increase the chain life, it should be lubricated with a
spray on type chain lubricant.
CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Check the chain adjustment after the first two hours of
use. Readjust if it has more than 1/2” flex.
1. Loose Nut #1
2. Adjust Nut #2. Turn Nut #2 clockwise in 1/2 turn
increments, then turn Nut #1 until tight. Follow this
procedure until chain is at proper tension.
Repeat the above two steps until chain is adjusted to the
desired fit.
ADJUSTMENT OF FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS
There are five adjustable positions on each shock. The
default position is in the middle set by the manufacturer.
Use a round nut wrench as you adjust the shock, the
tension of the shock spring will increase as you screw
to the left, decrease as you screw to the right. Adjust
accordingly to the weight and riders.

Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment 32 33 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment
SERVICE AIR FILTER
Service air filter every 20 hours of use
1. Remove cleaner cover by removing the Phillips
head screws
2. Clean any excess dirt, oil or dust from the air
cleaner box with a mild detergent and water solution
3. Thoroughly dry the air box.
4. Replace the air cleaner element.
5. Carefully align the gasket between the air box
halves during re-assembly.
SERVICE SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT
Your unit might require an occasional adjustment
in the shifter cables due to physical stretch found
during normal operation of the vehicle. To make shift
adjustments, follow the below instructions.
1. Push the shifter lever to forward or “D”
position.
2. Check the shifter control disc found just
behind the oil level dipstick to ensure that it
has rotated forward all the way. Look for any
slack in control cable 1.
3. Loosen adjustment nuts #1 and #2, pulling
the housing to draw the cable tight until the
cable is properly tensioned.
4. Shift the lever to the “R” position and check
the control disc to ensure that it has rotated
full towards the rear of the vehicle.
5. Loosen adjustment nut #3 and #4, pulling the
cable housing to draw #2 control cable right.
6. Realign nut #2 and #4 when the cable is
properly tensioned.
FRONT WHEEL REPLACEMENT
Do not disassemble the castle nuts when you
replace the front wheels.
It is only necessary to remove the four lug nuts to
remove the wheel. Tighten the nuts after replacing
the wheels.
REAR WHEEL REPLACEMENT
Do not disassemble the castle nuts when you
replace the rear wheels and hub assembly.
Remove the cotter pin and then 24mm nut.
Then slide off wheel and hub assembly. It is only
necessary to remove the four lug nuts to remove
the wheels by itself.
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
The front wheels should be set with a “toe-in”
from 1/4” to 3/8”. At the center-line of the tires,
measure the Distance A and the Distance B. For
proper toe adjustment, Dimension A should be
1/4” – 3/8” greater than Dimension B.
1. Loosen the lock nuts on both sides of Front
Tie Rods.
Ensure the steering wheel is centered, and
adjust Dimension B by equally rotating the
tie rods in or out with a 12mmwrench.
2. After adjusting to the desired length,
tighten the lock nuts against the rod end.
3. Recheck the dimensions for proper
alignment.

2. Air filter element
3. Air filter right Cover

Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment 34 35 Troubleshooting
SERVICE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes
to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads or
brake system leakage. IF the brake fluid
level is low, be sure to check the brake pads
for wear and the brake system for leakage.
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the hood.
Use only the recommended quality brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking performance.
1. Refill with the same brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction and lead to poor braking performance.
2. Be careful water does not enter the brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock.
3. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
4. Have a dealer inspect the brake system if the brake fluid level goes down.
Brake fluid replacement
Complete fluid replacement should be done by trained service personnel. Have a
dealer replace the following components during periodic maintenance or when they
are damaged or leaking.
5. Replace the oil seals every two years.
6. Replace the brake hoses every four years.
Battery
The vehicle is equipped with a sealed type battery. Therefore it is not necessary to
check the electrolyte or add distilled water in the battery. IF the battery seems to have
discharged, consult a dealer.
1. When vehicle is not used for a month or longer, remove the battery and store it in
a cool, dark place. Completely recharge the battery before re-installation.
Warning: A special battery charger is required for recharging a sealed battery.
Always make sure the connections are correct when putting the battery back in
the vehicle.
Fuse Replacement
Your unit is equipped with inline fuses to protect the electrical system from excessive
load conditions.
Main fuse (15 amp) inline fuse is located inside the electrical box located on the
driver’s side, under the bed and on the top of the rear swing arm. Replace main fuse
by removing the electrical cover and opening the fuse holder. A spare fuse is located
inside the fuse holder.
Although vehicles receive a rigid inspection before shipment from the factory,
trouble may occur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or
ignition system can cause poor starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting
chart describes quick, easy procedures for making checks. If your vehicle requires
any repair, take it to a dealer.
Your skilled technician at a dealership has the tools, experience and know-how to
properly service your vehicle. Use only genuine parts on your vehicle.

Cleaning and Storage 36 37 Cleaning and Storage
A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle will not only enhance its appearance
but will improve its general performance and extend the useful life of many
components.
1. Before cleaning the vehicle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water entry. A plastic bag
andstrong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush.
Do not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough
pressure to do the job.
CAUTION: Excessive water pressure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings, brakes, transmission seals and electrical
devices. Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high
pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with clean water and dry all surfaces with a
chamois, clean towel or soft absorbent cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and
glossy.
7. Automotive type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome plated
surfaces. Avoid combination cleaver-waxes. Many contain abrasives which may
scratch the paint or protective finish. When finished, start the engine and let it
idle for several minutes.
! WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD:
Servicing an engine while its running.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN:
Moving Parts can catch clothing or parts of the body, causing injury.
Electrical components can cause shocks or can start fires.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD:
Turn off the engine when performing maintenance unless otherwise specified.
Have a dealer perform service if you are not familiar with vehicle services.
B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your vehicle will require some preventive
procedures to guard against deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle,
prepare for storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the specified amount of Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent product. Operate the vehicle for at
least 5 minutes to distribute treated fuel through the fuel system.
2. Drain the fuel from the carburetor float chamber into a clean container by
loosening the drain dolt; this will help prevent fuel deposits from building
up. Pour the drained fuel into the fuel tank.
NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner eliminates the need to drain the fuel
system. Consult a dealer if the fuel system needs to be drained instead.
3. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or
20W40 motor oil in the spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and turn
the engine over several times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from
entering.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmosphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber parts pr the seat
covers.
8. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it in a dry place and recharge it
once a month. Do not store the battery in an excessively warm or cold
place (less than 0-0C (30-0F) or more than 300C (300F)).
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing the vehicle.
