SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Engine oil
This scooter should use four-‐stroke engine oil. There is no need for any
additives. Do not use common oil, vegetable oil or castor oil.
The viscosity of the engine oil varies according to local average
environmental temperature. You should choose the right viscosity or
grade of oil for different temperatures. Lubricating oil has three grades:
SAE 15W-‐40, SAE 10W-‐30, SAE 5W-‐30. Refer to the side figure for
details.
Engine oil level inspection
The engine oil level must be checked daily before riding.
1. Set the scooter on the centre stand on a level surface.
2. Start the engine and run at idle for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Switch off the engine and wait for 2 to 3 minutes. Check the oil level
from the screen window

at the right side of the engine.

Engine oil replacement
The quality of the engine oil is the main factor that affects the life of the engine. Engine oil must be
replaced at prescribed service intervals. Oil replacement must be carried out when the engine is warm,
and with the scooter in a level position.
