Keep cargo low and close to the centre of the motorcycle. Load weight equally on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance. As weight is located further from the centre of gravity, handling is proportionally affected. Properly adjust the tire pressure and the spring of the rear shock absorber according to the load weight and road conditions.

ENGINE OIL Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine performance and service life. So the engine oil should be selected according to requirements, not superseded by general engine oil, gear oil and vegetable oil. The motorcycle uses engine oil SAE10w/40 API SG when being sold.
Page 20
WARNING Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling. Improper tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and create a safety hazard. Under inflation may result in the tyre slipping on or coming off the rim and causing an accident. NOTE: Tyre pressure should be checked before you ride while the tyres are cold.
OPERATION PRE-RIDE INSPECTION Inspect your motorcycle before you ride it. The items here will only take a few minutes to check and can save troubleshooting time while you are driving and ensure your safe riding. Oil level---check the level and if necessary, add oil.

ACCUMULATOR MAINTENANCE The motorcycle is supplied with 12V9A.h DC by a lead-acid accumulator. When riding the motorcycle, insufficient electrolyte in the accumulator will cause sulfuration and damage to its polar plate. If electrolyte in accumulator runs out quickly, insufficient electrolyte will lower strength of the current thus making it hard to start the engine or bringing other trouble to the electrical system.
COOLING SYSTEM [The coolant] The coolant consists of refrigerant and distilled water,has the function of anti-freezing,The coolant will prevent engine from overheating in neutral rotation or rotating in low speed,It also prevent radiator from harmful substance. [In-pouring of coolant] 1.Place the motorcycle on flat ground, unfold the side stand. 2.unscrew the coolant temperature switch,and pour the coolant into the radiator until it is filled.
Page 40
[replacement of coolant] When the coolant is getting turbid ,or it finish a maintenance cycle, the coolant should be replaced. Procedures: Place the engine on the flat ground and unfold the side stand. When the engine is under room temperature, put the vessel under the cap of radiator ,and remove the cap of water tube to release the coolant.
FUSE REPLACEMENT Remove the right guard board by loosening the hexangular bolt on the main seat and open the fuse box (white) to replace the fuse. There are 2 spare fuses for your motorcycle. Reinstall the guard board in reverse order of the removal and fix it after replacement. The specified fuses are 15A. When frequent fuse failure occurs.
CLEANING Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect the surface finishes and inspect it for damage, wear and oil seepage. CAUTION: High pressure water can damage certain parts of the motorcycle. Avoid spraying high Pressure water at the following areas: ignition switch, handlebar switches, instruments, muffler outlet and underseat.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE 1.Uncover and clean the motorcycle. 2.Check the accumulator voltage. When the voltage is 12.3V below, slowly charge the accum- ulator as required Install the accumulator, 3.Drain any rust-inhibiting oil from the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank with fresh Petrol. 4.Perform all pre-ride inspection checks.
