Connect fuel line to fuel cock & disconnect fuel line from carburettor. Remove locking fuel cap (if
difficult to remove apply a tiny smear of grease to the rubber seal). With fuel cock closed pour
~0.5 ltr of petrol into the tank. Swish vigorously around by moving bike from side to side & then
holding a container under the line from fuel cock, open to drain out the petrol. This flushes the
tank, fuel cock & line of any dust or particles which could potentially plug the jets in the
carburettor.
CHAIN
Take out plastic bung of the fully enclosed chain guard & rotating the back wheel apply grease
to the inside of the entire length of the chain. Check the chain tension – adjust to around 20mm
of up & down play ensuring both chain adjusters are positioned the same on their respective
graduation marks.
STARTING
If the battery is fully charged the electric start will immediately start the engine however it is
recommended that the engine be kick started for at least the first few times. This avoids high
starter motor loading from the brand new engine & will ensure the very best longevity of the
electric start.
NOTE: Engage clutch to enable starting the engine with electric start. This is a safety feature of
the NZ50.
Check the crankcase oil level is between the dip stick high & low marks with dip stick
not
screwed in. Ensure the NZ50 is in neutral, open fuel cock & kick over the engine 2 or 3 times.
Turn on key ignition & kick once to start.
If NZ50 does not immediately start, move black choke lever to horizontal ON position & kick
once to start. As soon as bike is running turn black choke lever down to OFF position.
Until the bike is warmed up the engine may not idle at the recommended 1500 rpm.
RUNNING IN
Careful running in is the best way to bed-in the rings & ensure optimum longevity of the Moto
NZ50 engine.
As the engine will initially get very hot,
the first few rides should be for only 10 minutes at a time
,
allowing the engine to completely cool down between rides.
