4. PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

(1) ADVANCE INSPECTION

Get into a good habit of inspection before riding. For the

sake of safety and to prevent vehicle damage and traffic
accidents, the pre-ride inspection is absolutely required.

Be sure to perform inspection and maintenance for your

new motorcycle after it is

ridden for 300km.

(2) ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION/REFILLING

Place the motorcycle on its main stand. Take out the oil

dipstick and wipe it clean.

Directly insert the oil dipstick into the engine oil.

(Don't screw it in.)

Take out the oil dipstick and check the oil level. If it is

close to the lower limit, add engine oil to the upper limit.

The temperature of engine and exhaust muffler is very

high. When checking the oil level, be careful to avoid
scalding.

Riding with insufficient engin oil will cause breakdown

easily.
