Fuel lling
The capacity of the fuel tank is 5.9L in total including 1.0L of reserve. Unscrew the gas
cap by turning it counter clockwise and carefully ll the tank with unleaded gasoline
through the opening. DO NOT MIX GAS AND OIL TOGETHER, THIS IS A 4-STROKE
ENGINE. Replace the gas cap by carefully aligning the threads on the cap and the tank
and turning the cap clock wise. Wipe any spilled fuel from the dirt bike using a cloth
and dispose of the cloth properly. DO NOT SMOKE OR REFUEL THE VEHICLE NEAR
OPEN FLAMES OR NEAR HEATING UNITS. ONLY REFUEL THE VEHICLE IN OPEN
AREAS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE BUILD UP OF GASOLINE FUMES.
Operation of the fuel cock (the valve under the fuel tank)
ON: With the handle of the fuel cock to “ON” position, the fuel supply will ow to the
carburetor.
OFF: With the handle of the fuel cock to “OFF” position, the fuel supply is cut off to
the caburetor.
RES: With the handle of the fuel cock to “RES” position about half of the fuel will be
used in the tank leaving about 1.0 L of fuel in the tank. When the engine runs out of
gas with the fuel cock in the “RES” position, move the fuel cock to the “ON” position to
use the remaining 1.0 L of fuel. Refueling should be carried out as soon as possible.

(3) 3rd gear
(4) 4th gear
Points for Attention during Drive
1. Avoid unnecessary idling of the engine at a high speeds. Doing so will damage the
engine components seriously.
2. The clutch will wear out quickly if the dirt bike is operated with the clutch in a semi-
engaged position.
3. Only shift to the low speed gears when you feel that there is insufcient power to
climb hills or continue forward.
4. Do not use the front brake only or coast using the neutral gear especially when
descending or driving at a high speed.
5. Decrease the throttle when braking.

CHECK-UPS, ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Checking the Oil
Check the engine oil each time prior to operating the dirt bike.
The oil level should be between the upper and lower lines of the oil gauge tted in a
screw plug, which is on the right cover of the crankcase.
1. Set the motorcycle on level ground, screw off the oil gage plug, wipe the oil gage
rod clean and then insert the gage plug into the crankcase again to check the oil
level. There is no need to screw the oil gage plug into its hole in the crankcase.
2. Add lubricating oil up to the upper line when needed, but do not overll.
3. Finally screw on the oil gage plug tightly.
Lubricating Oil Recommended
The lubricating oil is an important factor affecting the performance and service life of
the engine. Please refer to the chart for the correct grade of engine oil based on the
environmental conditions in your area. Do not use any other type of oil other than
what is recommended in the chart. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH THE GASOLINE.
Lubricating oils of different
viscosity shall be employed
in different regions and at
different temperatures.

CHANGING THE OIL
*
Remove the “Screw Plug” located at the bottom of the engine and let the oil drain
into an approved collection container. DO NOT PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE
WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. SERIOUS BURNS COULD RESULT FROM CONTACT
WITH HOT OIL.
Dispose of the used oil properly. For proper disposal procedures, contact your
local oil recycling center.
Clean and replace the “Screw Plug” tighly.
Rell the engine with the proper amount of oil and recheck the amount of oil in the
engine by using the oil gauge plug.
* This job should not be done by untrained persons but should be done at an
authorized service center.

CHECK-UP OF SPARK PLUG
Remove the cap of spark plug and screw off the
spark plug using the plug wrench.
Clean the spark plug all around or replace it if it is
corroded or there is too much deposit on it.
Regulate the gap of the spark plug to 0.6-0.7mm.
The spark plug of the designated type should be
used. The applicable type of spark plug: NHSP LD
A7RTC made in China or Equivalent US Brand.
0.6~0.7mm

CHECKING & CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Take the air lter out and check if it is dirty or torn.
Dismounting:
Wash the lter in clean water and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
Soak the lter element in clean machine oil. Squeeze it with a dry cloth to remove
excess oil.
Recommended oil: 15W/40QE
CAUTION
The air lter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and dirt,
resulting in a shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the lter when washing the vehicle.
The lter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent it from
cracking. Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or organic volatile oil
to avoid its aging, which will result in reducing the effect of the air lter oil to catch
particles before they enter the engine. Replace the lter element with a new one if
it is broken or cracked.
16
ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLE
Make sure that the adjusting and lock nuts of the throttle cable work normally.
Check if the throttle twist grip has the required free operating movement.
The required free operating movement: 2-6mm. If the grip cannot be moved freely,
turn the adjusting nut to ensure proper operating movement.
*After adjustment, start the engine and check for the operating movement again.
Repeat the adjustment if necessary until the desired operating movement is obtained.
ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR
Adjusting procedures of idling speed:
1. Support the vehicle by a stand.
2. Adjust the idling speed by the throttle stop screw
to 1500 ± 150rpm.
CAUTION
Do not try to correct a malfunctioning carburetor by adjusting the idling speed. If
the carburetor is not functioning properly, it should be repaired by a service center.
Adjust idling speed only when the engine is warmed up or 10 minutes after operation.
Idling speed adjusting screw
17
ADJUSTING THE AIR VALVE GAP
The engine will make excess noise if the gap is too large in the air valve. If the gap is
too small valve operation will be hindered which could result in valve malfunction and
failure. Therefore, the air valve gap must be checked periodically.
The gap of the air valve should be inspected and adjusted when the engine is cold by
using the following procedures. This procedure should only be performed by a qualied
motorcycle technician at a service center:
Remove the caps of the central hole and the top hole (the ignition timing
observation hole) in the left crankcase cover.
Remove the caps of the two air valves on the cylinder head.
Insert the “T” key into the central hole of the crankcase cover, jam it against the nut
of the ying wheel and then turn the ying wheel clockwise until the engraved “T”
mark on the ying wheel aligns with the engraved line on the top of the crankcase
cover. Swing the rocking arm slightly. A loose rocking arm (which indicates the
existence of clearance) shows that the piston is in the upper stop position of the
compressing stroke, where the valve can be adjusted. A tight rocking arm means
that the piston is in the lower stop position of the compressing stroke. In this case,
continuously turn the “T” key clockwise for 360 degrees until the alignment of those
engraved marks, where the valve can be adjusted. Afterwards, check the valve gap
by inserting a feeler in between the valve adjusting screw and the end of the valve.
The specied air valve gap: 0.05mm for the intake and exhaust valves respectively.
BRAKE CHECKING
Remove the front and rear brakes respectively and check for wear of the brake
shoes. If the mark “∆” on the brake drum cover aligns with that “∆” on the brake
cam, it means that the brake shoes are already worn to the limit and have to be
replaced.
Replacement should be carried out at a designated service center and it is
recommended that only original replacement parts are used.
