Cleaning
Clean your motorcycle frequently to keep a delightful
appearance and prolong its service life.
1. Before
cleaning
a. Block the exhaust pipe with plastic bags to stop
water from getting in.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all covers (for fuel
tank and engine oil, etc.) are installed.
2. If the engine is very dirty, use a brush. Never
remove the lubricant in shafts and bearings.
3. Use a small hose with a natural pressure.
Note:
Too high a water pressure may remove the lubricant
off the motorcycle and introduce water into bearings
andsealing, causing parts damaged.
4. Firstly, wash dust off. Mix neutral detergent in
warm water to wash the external parts. Use brush
where necessary.
5. After washing, wipe off the moisture on the
motorcycle.
6. Clean the saddle with a neutral detergent then wash it
with clear water.
Note:
Never use alkali and acid detergent, gasoline or other
solvent when washing, to avoid damaging.
7. When washing is completed, start the engine and run
it at idle speed for a few minutes.
Storing
When the motorcycle is to be unused for 60 days or
longer, carry out the following to avoid damage.
1.Clean the motorcycle. Using proper stands, raise the front
and rear wheels and make sure the motorcycle is firmly
standed.
2. Empty all fuel in the fuel tank, fuel pipe and carburetor.
Remove the emptied fuel tank and fill it with a glass of
SAE10W30 engine oil. Swing the fuel tank to give an oil
coating thoroughly inside the fuel tank. Pour the engine
oil out of the fuel tank before reinstalling. Remove the
spark plugs and fill each cylinder with a spoon of engine oil.
Reinstall the spark plugs. Operate the engine for several
time (earthing the high voltage line) to give a uniform
distribution of engine oil on the cylinder wall.
