Engine lubricating oil
When using the motorcycle, conduct regular checks on the engine
lubricating oil. The tank filler cap of the lubricating oil is located on the
right crank case. A dipstick is connected to the cap and the oil level
should always be maintained between the lower and higher scale
marker.
Do not start the engine if there are insufficient lubrication oil as it will
cause consequential damages to the engine.
Tyre
Appropriate tyre pressure optimizes the stability of the motorcycle ride,
enhance riding comfortability and prolongs the lifespan of the tyres.
(Recommended tyre pressure: Front 225kPa, Rear 225kPa)
For riding safety, select the correct type and specification of good
working condition tyres that has good road traction and be sufficiently
inflated according to the loaded weight.
The following are procedures to check tyre pressure, inspection of
tyre wear & tear and assessments of tyre on whether the tyre requires
entire replacement or minor repairs.
Using badly worn out tyres or inflating with incorrect tyre pressure
might cause vehicle to lose control, compromise safety & endanger
lives. Please refer back to instruction manual on recommended tyre
pressure and tyre maintenance.
Tyre wear and tear inspection
Inspection on tyre pressure is recommended at least once per month,
using a pressure gauge. Whenever there are signs of insufficient tyre
pressure, take measurements using a pressure gauge to ensure that
the tyre has sufficient air pressure. Correct tyre pressure optimizes the
stability of the motorcycle ride & enhances riding comfortability.
An underinflated tyre will cause the tyre tread to wear off excessively,
cause overheating issues, shorten tyre lifespan and compromise safety.
Over-inflation of tyre will also accelerate wear and tear of the tyre during
contact with the road and cause handling/steering difficulty while riding.
Always measure the tyre pressure when the tyre is in cool condition.
(E.g.: 3 hours after the motorcycle has stopped travelling)
If the tyre pressure is measured after travelling for a certain distance, the
pressure within the tyre will be significantly higher than normal condition,
thus do not deflate the tyres after travelling a certain distance so as to
achieve the recommended tyre pressure, under-inflation may occur
under such practice. Always refer back to the markings on the vehicle for
recommended tyre pressures.
Tyre damage inspection
While conducting inspections on the tyre pressure, always check for wear,
damages or foreign objects on the tread & side walls of the tyre.
*Please take note of the following signs of damage on the tread or side
wall of tyres: Deep cuts, cracks, severe cracks caused by exposed lining
/carcass of tyre, nails or any other foreign objects, signs of uneven bulging.
If the above signs of damage are found, please replace with a new tyre.
