Maintenance and Tune-up Procedures
This section describes the servicing procedures of every item in the Periodic Maintenance
Intervals Table above.
2.3.1 Spark Plug
Clear up the carbon around the spark plug to prevent it from dripping into the cylinder when
removing the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug:
a)
In general, it should be carried on after the engine has cooled down;
b)
If the spark plug is too tight to remove, spray some rust inhibiter on
the spark plug washer and the thread part; after the inhibiter has
soaked the washer and thread part, rotate the spark plug;
c)
Clear up the filth and carbon accumulation on the spark plug with
a steel brush or a blade;
d)
Inspect the spark plug gap (in general, it should be about 0.6 - 0.7 mm.);
e)
When the carbon accumulation and wear of the spark plug are too serious, replace the spark
plug with a new one of the same specification.
2.3.2 Tire Pressure / Wear
Check the tire pressure before each of your driving.
The tire pressure is very important for the riding stability.
Specifications: Front Tire: 175kpa
Rear Tire: 200kpa
2.3.3 Brake Performance
a)
Always check if there is plenty of brake fluid in the brake fluid
reservoir;
b)
Check if the front/rear brake pad is in good condition;
c)
Check the brake rotor for abnormal wear.
2.3.4 Air Cleaner
Clean the air cleaner quarterly, or more often when driving in dusty
conditions.
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, its performance will be severely
decreased, even the engine damages will probably be caused.
