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 fill cap/

dipstick.

1. Set the motorcycle on level ground. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick, wipe

it clean and then insert the dipstick into the crankcase again to check the

oil level. There is no need to screw the oil fill cap/dipstick into its hole in

the crankcase.

2. Add lubricating oil to upper line of oil fill cap/dipstick when needed, but

do not overfill.

3. Finally screw on oil fill cap/dipstick 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.
