ROUTINE
REPA
IR
To keep the vehicle in it's safest and most efficient
status, perform periodic maintenance, adjustment
and lubrication. The driver is responsible for
personal safety. The periodic maintenance
schedule should be taken as a guideline for
maintenance and lubrication. Additionally, other
factors such as climate, geographic environment
and purpose of driving the vehicle, should be
considered in the maintenance schedule. In this
section, key points in inspecting, adjusting and
lubricating the vehicle are highlighted.
Attention: If you are not familiar with inspecting
the vehicle, you should bring the vehicle to your
authorized Genuine dealer.
Attention: This vehicle is designed to be ridden
on pavement. If the vehicle is ridden in dirt, mud or
other moist conditions, the air filter should be
cleaned and/or replaced frequently or this can result
in faster deterioration of the engine. Please contact
your authorized Genuine dealer for your service
cycle.
Note 1:
Engine Oil
To make sure the engine is running smooth, replace the engine oil
after the first 500 miles. Use only the specified engine oil.
Contact your authorized Genuine dealer for changing of the
engine oil.
Note 2:
Replacing Brake Fluid:
1. Replace the brake fluid during disassembly of the brake
master cylinder or the brake caliper.
2. Replace the seals for the brake master cylinder and the brake
caliper every two years.
3. Replace the brake fluid hose every four years, unless the hose is
damaged, then replace immediately.
Note
3: Checking the oil cooling system
1. Check the
oil lines
for leakage during the periodic
maintenance.
2. Check the engine oil cooler for any trouble such as leakage.
3. Clean the engine oil cooler surface periodically removing any
debris from the cooling fins, using a soft cloth to prevent damage
to the oil cooler.
Note 4
:
Battery Maintenance
A trickle / maintenance charger is highly recommended if you
use your vehicle on an infrequent basis such as once every few
weeks. The ECU continuously draws a small amount of
electricity to maintain the clock, user prefernces as well as
operational history. The battery will deplete over time if the
vehicle is not run on a regular basis. You will be unable to start
the vehicle if the battery has been depleted. Your Genuine
dealer can recommend and install an appropriate charging
device. Fully disconnect the battery from the vehicle for long
term storage such as winter.
