 (6)Selection of engine oil

Application of poor quality engine oil will affect performance and service life of the 
motorcycle engine. 

WARNING

To avoid exhaustion of fuel and accidental shutdown, when the pointer of the fuel level 
gauge on the instrument is close to E point, add fuel timely.

Lubricating oil is a key factor that affects the operation state and 
service life of the engine. So the engine

 

oil

 

that

 

is

 

suitable to the vehicle must be selected.

Tire pressure 
under the cold 

state 

(7)Tire (Figure10)

Correct tire pressure will ensure

: 

stable driving, comfortable driving and durable tire.

Check tire pressure when it is 

“

cold tire

”.

Tire specifications and tire pressure reference table 4

:

It is very dangerous to use overworn tire and the traction, stability, steering and control will be affected.
Wh en the tread pattern in the middle of the tire reaches the minimum limit 

①,

it is necessary to change the tire

.

Before driving, it should check whether the tire has incision, nail or other sharp objects and whether the 
tire and rim are depressed or deformed.

Notes

1.Incorrect tire pressure may cause abnormal tread pattern wear and result in safety accident

;

2

. 

Insufficient tire pressure may cause tire damage or separation from the rim.

and then moderately 

throttle up the engine to start the engine

.

Notes:

1. Warm up engine for （2-5 minutes）after start-up before road driving.

2. When using the electric start-up button

“   ”  

, release it within 3～5 seconds 

after running; Otherwise, service life of the storage battery will be affected due to 
fast discharge of the storage battery.

“   ”  

during running of the engine, it is not allowed to press the electric start-up button 

;

“   ”  

again, otherwise the engine will be damaged.

4. Ensure that the side stand is reset, preventing restriction to left turning and 
failure of control.
5.After start-up or during driving, throttle up smoothly（turn the throttle handle）.

6.Do not start the motorcycel in narrow space in case difficult emission diffusion 
causing danger.

7.If the clutch switch fails, replace it timely.

8.It is strictly forbidden to start the engine when clutch is not disconnected,

.

When shifting the gear, please confirm that the shift arm is in place and then release the clutch.

       

WARNING

It is strictly forbidden to shit the gear without throttle down or grasping the clutch, 
otherwise the engine and the transmission system will be damaged.

[Climbing or turning]

1

. 

When the motorcycle is uphill, even if throttle up the engine, there is still deceleration due to 

insufficient power 

(

because the gear is too high

).

Therefore

, 

rapidly

 

shift

 

down

 (

switch

 

to

 

the

 

low

 

speed

 

gear

 ) 

before

 

climbing the slope, preventing from clutch slipping due to fast slow-down.

  2.

When making a turn, there will be clutch slipping due to fast slow-down for abrupt throttle down. When 

making a turn or throttling down, shifting

 

to

 

the

 

low

 

speed gear

, 

and then first use the brake to slow down 

the vehicle.

is

 

necessary

, 

use

 

front

rear

 

brakes

 (

it should slowly grasp the front brake with 

hands and step the rear brakes with feet and avoid separation of applying front and rear brakes

)

to stop the 

vehicle.
2

. 

In case of emergency, directly turn off the flameout switch

 

and

 

at

 

the

 

same

 

time

 

use

 

the

 

front

 

and

 

rear

 

brakes

 

to

 

stop

 

the vehicle.

3

. 

Try to avoid emergency brake. Emergency brake will cause sudden stop of the front and rear wheels, 

making the vehicle hard to be controlled.
4

. 

On the wet, sliding or soft road surface, avoid abrupt acceleration, emergency brake and abrupt turning. 

Prevent sideslipping,

 

which will make the vehicle difficult to be controlled.

5

. 

When driving down the long slope, use the front and rear brakes intermittently and switch to the low 

speed gear and use engine to slow down and brake the vehicle. It is because overbrake during longer 
downhill will cause heating of the brake pad and brake disc and reduce brake effect.
