How do you start the motorbike?

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
March 18, 2025

To start a Suzuki RV125 motorbike, ensure the battery is properly connected by attaching the + (positive) lead first and the - (negative) lead second. If the bike has been sitting unused, you may need to mix petrol with two-stroke oil, add it to the tank, and let the fuel lines fill. Once the lines are filled and the engine starts running properly, you can then fill the tank with petrol. Ensure all electrical connections and the throttle are functioning correctly before attempting to start the bike.

    PERIODIC MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES This section describes the servicing procedures for each item in the Periodic Maintenance chart. AIR CLEANER Inspect every 4 000 km (20 months). If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be increase, resulting in a decrease in engine output and an increase in fuel consumption.
  • Page 18: Valve Clearance

    PERIODIC MAINTENANCE • Remove the drain plug 1 to allow any water to drain out. • Reinstall the cleaned air cleaner element in the reverse order of removal. " Be sure to position the element snugly and correctly, so that no incoming air will by-pass it. Remember, the rapid wear of piston rings and the cylinder bore is often caused by a defective or poorly fitted element.
  • Page 19 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE INSPECTION The valve clearance specification is same for both valves. Valve clearance adjustment must be checked and adjusted, 1) at the time of periodic inspection, 2) when the valve mechanism is ser- viced, and 3) when the camshaft is disturbed by removing it for servicing.
