CHECk-UPS, ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE

Checking the Oil

Check the engine oil each time prior to operating the dirt bike.

The oil level should be between the upper and lower lines of the oil sight

gauge located on the right cover of the crankcase. The level can also be

checked on the dip stick.

1. Set the motorcycle on level ground, look at the sight gauge for current oil

level. Remove the oil gage plug, wipe the oil gage rod clean and then

insert the gage plug into the crankcase again to check the oil level. There

is no need to completely install the oil gage plug in the crankcase fill

hole.

2. Add lubricating oil up to the upper line when needed, but do not overfill.

3. Finally screw on the oil gage plug tightly.

Lubricating Oil Recommended

The lubricating oil is an important factor affecting the performance and

service life of the engine. Please refer to the chart for the correct grade of

engine oil based on the environmental conditions in your area. Do not use

any other type of oil other than what is recommended in the chart. DO NOT

MIX OIL WITH THE GASOLINE.

Lubricating oils of different

viscosity shall be employed

in different regions and at

different temperatures.

CAUTION
Never start the engine when there is

insufficient lubricating oil. Otherwise,

it will cause harm to the engine.
