At the first 1000 Kms (630 miles, mileage use throttle opening less than 1/2.
Up to 1600 Kms 1000 miles mileage use throttle opening less than 3/4.
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1600 Kms (1000 miles) you can operate the motorcycle to full throttle
operation.
• Do not maintain constant engine speed for on extended time period during any portion of the ‘‘BREAK-IN’’

VENTO MOTORCYCLES
Neglecting the spark plug maintenance eventually leads to difficult starting and poor
performance. If the spark plug is used for a long time, the electrode gradually burns away and
carbon builds up along the inside part. In accordance with the periodic table, the plug should be
removed for inspection, cleaning and to reset the gap.
Carbon deposits on the spark plug will prevent good sparking and
cause misfiring. Clean the carbon deposits
periodically.
CARBON DEPOSIT
Check to see the carbon deposit on the Spark Plug.
If the carbon is deposited, remove it with a spark
plug cleaner machine or carefully using a tool with a
pointed end.
Check to see the worn out or burnt condition of the
electrodes. If it is extremely worn or burnt, replace
the plug and also replace the plug if it has a broken insulator,
damaged thread etc.
Thickness gauge
Spark plug gap 0.6~0.7 mm (0.024-0.028 inch)
Check the spark plug for burnt condition. If abnormal replace the
Tighten the spark plug to the specified torque.
Spark plug
Tightening torque: 15-18N.m
NOTE:
To check the spark plug, first make sure that the fuel used is
unleaded gasoline.
Confirm the Specification, thread size and reach while
replacing the spark plug.

2. CHOKE CIRCUIT:
Choke is provided for easy starting,
since it requires rich mixture. Hence
choke knob is being operated from
the carburetor. Due to this an air
stopper (Butterfly valve) comes on
the way to the venturi (Air filter side)
of the carburetor, thus reducing the
amount of air being mixed with fuel.
Excessive fuel is being sucked from
the slow jet and less quantity of air
enters from the choke valve and
from the small opening below the
throttle valve.
When the motorcycle engine starts,
a spring loaded window is provided
in the choke actuating lever itself so
as provide in the choke actuating
knob itself so as provide extra air as
required to run the engine in rich
mixture.
VENTO MOTORCYCLES
Rev no.01/ page 52of 84
4. SLOW SPEEDCIRUIT
Slow speed requires very less
acceleration. Air fuel mixture is being
supplied by slow jet and also from
main jet. This is due to partial
opening of throttle valve, lifts needle
jet upwards. Hence some quantity of
air fuel mixture coming out from
main jet diffuser also mixes along
with slow jet mixture to increase the
mixture quantity as required by
engine.

• Now clean all the carburetor components and apply compressed dry air in all passages (galleries)
NOTE:
• Don’t remove clip from the jet needle groove.
• Ensure that float and float valve is being removed before carrying out any other jobs on carburetor. So
that these components will not get damage.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE OF CARBURETTOR:
1. Screw the slow jet (Ensure that all holes are clearly visible on the slow jet body).
2. Fix needle jet from main jet hole (Ensure that the smaller dia face towards carburetor body hole).
1. Tighten the needle jet holder (Ensure that all holes clearly visible on the needle jet holder body).
2. Screw the main jet along with jet holder.
3. Insert the float arm pin through the pivot and the float.
4. Check float height (Specified 12.5±1mm) if necessary then adjust.
5. Fix the float chamber.
9. Fix idle screw and airscrew along with spring (Initial airscrew setting one and half turn out).
6. Insert the jet needle along with clip and plate into the throttle valve (Ensure that needle lock clip is in 3rd
Groove position from top).
7. Connect the throttle valve to the accelerator cable first compress the spring into the cap, Insert the tip of the
cable through the slot in the throttle valve base and fix cable in long slit rest position.
8. Align the groove on the side of the throttle valve with the guide pin in the carburetor body. Check for its smooth
movement.
9. Tighten the top cap over carburetor body.
VENTO MOTORCYCLES
After installation the carburetor in the engine as per above said procedure, follow the following steps:
WARNING
While running engine in Idling speed turn the handle bar to the extreme left or right hand side, if any change in
idling speed noticed, the accelerator cable may be wrongly routed or improperly adjusted. Correct the same before

MAGNETO ASSY
CONSTRUCTION:
Magneto assembly consists of a stator & rotor Assy.
Type of stator coils construction: -- star connection.
STATOR ASSEMBLY:
• Six coils of stator: Seven coils for light/battery charging & one coil for charging purpose.
• Pick- up coil & stator assembly is externally mounted on crank case RHcover.
• CDI unit charging and pick-up coil are used for ignition purpose.
• Lighting coil & battery charging coil wire connections goes to Regulator cum Rectifier for
lighting & battery charging purpose.
Magneto wire color code & various coil resistance values are as follows:
The MAGNETO generated AC current, which is rectified into DC current by Voltage Regulator .It is
automatically charging the battery depending upon condition of the battery, load and engine rpm. Regulator is
connected in parallel to the circuit. Hence this type of system is called “PARALLEL LOAD REGULATOR”.
Connect DC Voltmeter and DC Ammeter, start the engine with fully charged good battery. The Voltage

It is very important to check every Motorcycle/Scooter to a thorough P.D.I. before delivery. Please
do the following procedures and send main information to dealer.
1. Wash the vehicle with mild automobile detergents & clean vehicle externally with brush &
blow dry with compressed air. For painted parts clean with water & wipe dry with chamois
leather or soft cloth (Do not wash motorcycle under excessive water pressure & soap or
bleaching powder.)
