Chapter 4 Instructions on fuel and engine oil
1. Fuel
! Warning
Gasoline is inflammable and explosive. When handling gasoline,
attention should be paid to prevent burnt or accident.
● In places where gasoline is stored or handled, shutdown the engine,
do not smoke, and keep away from naked flame or spark.
● Refueling shall be made in a well ventilated place. After refueling,
immediately clean off any gasoline outside the fuel tank.
Please #93 or #95 (GB17930-1999) unleaded gasoline. This may
prolong the service life of spark plug.
Note!
If the engine produces ping noise, it may be caused by using of
improper fuel. Replace with correct fuel.
Ethanol gasoline
If ethanol gasoline is used, please use #90 or higher conforming to
GB18351-2004. Do not use methanol gasoline, even though it may contain
cosolvent and anti-corrosion agent.
Note!
● If ethanol gasoline is exposed to water excessively, ethanol may be
separated, resulting in decrease of gasoline octane number. Therefore, the
storage time shall not be too long.
● Before using ethanol gasoline for the first time, make a through
cleaning of the fuel supply system and fuel tank.
● Always buy a proper amount of ethanol gasoline. Once there is a poor
fuel tank sealing or a long storage time, moisture content may increase,
causing low octane number and resulting in difficult ignition or weak
power.
2. Lubricant
(Please refer to Regular Maintenance Table)
Use high quality 4-stroke engine oil to prolong engine life. Engine oil
shall be SE or SD product in API classification. Engine oil of proper
viscosity shall be used according to local air temperature. There are three

Chapter 7 Essentials of Driving
Warning:
If it is the first time for you to drive this type of motorcycle, you are
advised to practice on a road away from highways, until you have
completely been familiar with the control and operation of the vehicle.
Before driving, make sure that the side stand is returned to the uplift
position.
Do not make gear shifting or deceleration in course of turning. Slow
down to a safe speed before turning.
Do not shift into a low gear during turning.
It is dangerous to drive a motorcycle with a single hand. During
driving, take a firm hold to the handlebar with both hands and put your
feet on the foot board. In any event, never free your both hands from the
handlebar.
On a wet road, the friction force is low and so is the brake force and
turning capability. Therefore, decelerate in advance.
Observe the traffic laws and speed limit.
Engine starting
Make sure the fuel switch is in open position and the engine shutdown
switch in " " position. Insert the ignition key in ignition switch and
turn it to ON position. If the transmission is in neutral position, the neutral
indicator lamp is lit.
Warning:
Make it a habit that, engage the neutral gear and firmly press the
clutch grip before starting the engine. This can prevent dash forward in
case of mistaking gear engagement.
1、 Press the electric starting button for ignition. Never rotate the
accelerator grip when pressing the starting button.
Note:
After engine ignition, immediately release the starting button, to
avoid adverse effects to the engine.
If the engine is not started after 5 seconds, wait for 10 seconds before
making another attempt to prevent damaging the battery.
- 19 -
In case of failure in engine starting after two or three attempts, rotate
the accelerator grip for 1/8 or 1/4 turns and try again.
A motorcycle not used for a long time and poor atomizing fuel may
result in starting difficulty. In this case, do not rotate the accelerator grip,
but repeat starting.
2、 Starting with the kickback start lever
When the battery is over discharged, the engine can be started by
using the kickback start lever.
Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
Forcefully kick the kickback start lever.
Cold engine
Put the carburetor enrichment handle (plunger carburetor) or lever
(vacuum carburetor) to the highest position (plunger) or pull it fully out
(vacuum carburetor), keep the accelerator closed, and press the electric
start button; After the engine is started, press the handle half way down
(plunger) or push the lever half way in (vacuum) and wait for the engine is
adequately warmed-up, before putting the handle or lever to the original
position. The colder it is, the longer warm-up time the engine takes.
Otherwise, the acceleration may be poor.
Warm engine
Rotate accelerator grip for 1/8 - 1/4 turns, and press electric start
button to start the engine. When the engine is warm, it is not necessary to
use carburetor enrichment system.
Warning:
Never start the engine in a room with poor or no ventilation. It is
because carbon monoxide gas is poisonous. Never leave the motorcycle
unattended with a running engine.
Precaution:
Do not allow the engine run for a long time without driving, or the
engine may get overheat causing damage to internal parts or chrome
plating of exhaust system.
Start driving the motorcycle
Precaution:
Start the engine with the transmission in neutral position, the clutch
engaged and driver riding in normal driving position.
Firmly press the clutch grip, wait a little moment, press down the gear
- 20 -
lever to engage the first gear, rotate the accelerator grip slowly to you and
smoothly and slowly release the clutch grip. When the clutch is engaged,
the motorcycle will move forward.
To change into a higher speed gear, firstly decelerate a little, release
the accelerator and, at the same time, press the clutch grip, shift the gear
lever to the next higher speed gear position and release the clutch grip,
slightly rotate the accelerator. In this way, the highest gear can be engaged
gradually.
Note:
For high speed driving, always avoid releasing the accelerator
suddenly. it is advised to wait a moment when the engine is running at 3000-
5000rpm before fully releasing the accelerator. This can prevent the engine
from shutdown due to abnormal combustion.
Use of transformation device
Transformation device is able to allow the engine running smoothly
within normal range of operation. The transmission gear ratio is carefully
selected for the engine performance. Driver shall select gears suitable to
general conditions but shall not use the clutch for the purpose of speed
control. To decelerate, shift to a low gear to allow the engine running in a
normal speed range.
Precaution:
① The engine speed shall not be in the red range of the tachometer
in any gear.
Driving on a slope
② To shift from a high gear to a low gear, control the speed in a safe
speed range before gear shifting. Otherwise, abrupt deceleration (sudden
rise of engine speed) may happen, causing gear impacts, sever parts
wearing, or overbalance of the vehicle. it is dangerous.
Slope climbing:
● When going up a steep slope, the motorcycle may decelerate due
to insufficient power. Then, immediately shift to a low gear to allow the
engine running a normal power range. Pay attention that, gear shifting
shall be made quickly to keep adequate forward momentum of the
motorcycle.
● When going down a slope, use the engine for braking, by shifting
into a lower gear.
- 21 -
● Be sure to keep in mind that, never drive too fast down a slope!
Never allow the engine to run a very high speed for a long time.
Use of brake and parking method
Rotate the accelerator grip outward to fully close the throttle.
At the same time, apply the front and rear brakes with even forces.
Use gear shifting to slow down.
Before the motorcycle is stopped, firmly press the clutch grip, shift
into neutral gear and observe the neutral indicator to make sure the
neutral gear is engaged.
Warning:
The faster the vehicle is driven, the longer the braking distance will
be. Be sure to make correct estimation of the distance between you and the
vehicle or object in front of you for adequate braking performance.
An inexperienced driver always uses the rear brake only. This will
cause premature wearing and too long a braking distance.
It is dangerous to use front brake or rear brake only. This may cause
slipping and out of control. On wet highway or other dull road surface and
during turning, be extremely careful to apply the brake gently. Hard
braking on rough or dull road surface is very dangerous.
The motorcycle shall be parked on stable and flat ground.
To park your motorcycle on a gentle slope by using the side stand,
engage the first gear to prevent sliding off the side stand. Remember to
shift to neutral gear before starting the engine.
Turn the ignition switch to OFF position to shutdown the engine.
Remove the key from ignition switch.
Lock the steering bar for safety.

Chapter 11 Storage Method
If the motorcycle is not used for a long time in winter or other seasons,
it is necessary to carry out special maintenance with appropriate materials,
equipment and techniques.
Motorcycle
When a motorcycle is not used for a long time, make preparation
before storage: Wash the motorcycle, park it with the central stand on a
solid and flat ground and prevent it from rolling. Turn the handlebar of
motorcycle to the left side and lock it. Remove the ignition key. For safety,
select a place suitable for long time storage. To re-use the vehicle, carry out
a complete inspection to ensure normal performance of all parts of the
motorcycle.
Fuel
Before storing the motorcycle, empty the fuel tank. Gasoline used in
motorcycle is highly inflammable and even explosive under certain
conditions. Therefore, never allow the motorcycle to get close to any fire.
Never park the vehicle in a place storing articles subject to spontaneous
combustion (such as grains, coal, cotton, etc.), because fire hazard may
happen when the fuel in the vehicle contacts naked flame.
Tires
Make tire inflation to normal pressure value. Keep the outside of tire
clean. Avoid exposing to sunshine or moisture for a long time. Avoid
contacting acid, alkali and oil to prevent tire corrosion.
Battery
When the vehicle is not used for a long time, remove the battery and
fully recharge it before storing it in a place out of reach of children. Then,
recharge it every month in summer and every two months in winter. If the
battery is installed on the vehicle for a long time, recharge it every month.
Steps during storage
For conventional battery, check electrolyte level every month. If the
fluid level is low, timely replenish it with distilled water or pure water to
the highest level mark. (Never use electrolyte or tap water)
Battery shall be kept clean. Corrosion may happen if electrolyte is
splashed to the vehicle body, terminal or wires. In case of corrosion, wash
- 44 -
immediately with clear water and apply a coat of grease after drying off.
Insufficient power may cause difficulty in engine starting, weak horn
sounding and no flashing turning signal light. Then, immediately recharge
the battery for 15-20 hours. Note that, storing a low battery for a long time
may cause battery damage.
When a battery has whitened plate electrodes, low power or low fluid
level below the lower limit, and cannot restore the performance after a long
time storage even after recharging, it means the service life has been
terminated.
Steps of returning service
1、 Clean the entire motorcycle.
2、 Remove spark plug; kick the kickback start lever to allow the engine
rotating for several turns, before reinstalling spark plug.
3、 Reinstall battery.
Note:
Make sure to connect the positive connector before the negative one.
4、 Adjust tire pressure according to the tire part of the the manual.
5、 Lubricate all parts that require lubrication according to the manual.
6、 "Check before driving" as instructed in the manual.
