9. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ROUTINE REPAIR

To keep the vehicle in it's safest and most efficient status, perform periodic maintenance, adjustment and lubrication. The driver is responsible for personal safety. The periodic maintenance schedule should be taken as a guideline for maintenance and lubrication. Additionally, other factors such as climate, geographic environment and purpose of driving the vehicle, should be considered in the maintenance schedule. In this section, key points in inspecting, adjusting and lubricating the vehicle are highlighted.

Attention: If you are not familiar with inspecting the vehicle, you should bring the vehicle to your authorized Genuine dealer.

Attention: This vehicle is designed to be ridden on pavement. If the vehicle is ridden in dirt, mud or other moist conditions, the air filter should be cleaned and/or replaced frequently or this can result in faster deterioration of the engine. Please contact your authorized Genuine dealer for your service cycle.

Note 1: Engine Oil

To make sure the engine is running smooth, replace the engine oil after the first 500 miles. Use only the specified engine oil. Contact your authorized Genuine dealer for changing of the engine oil.

Note 2: Replacing Brake Fluid:

1. Replace the brake fluid during disassembly of the brake master cylinder or the brake caliper.

2. Replace the seals for the brake master cylinder and the brake caliper every two years.

3. Replace the brake fluid hose every four years, unless the hose is damaged, then replace immediately.

Note 3: Checking the oil cooling system

1. Check the oil lines for leakage during the periodic maintenance.

2. Check the engine oil cooler for any trouble such as leakage.

3. Clean the engine oil cooler surface periodically removing any debris from the cooling fins, using a soft cloth to prevent damage to the oil cooler.

Note 4: Battery Maintenance

A trickle / maintenance charger is highly recommended if you use your vehicle on an infrequent basis such as once every few weeks. The ECU continuously draws a small amount of electricity to maintain the clock, user prefernces as well as operational history. The battery will deplete over time if the vehicle is not run on a regular basis. You will be unable to start the vehicle if the battery has been depleted. Your Genuine dealer can recommend and install an appropriate charging device. Fully disconnect the battery from the vehicle for long term storage such as winter.

Attention: Do not start the engine when the air filter is not properly installed or the piston or cylinder is excessively worn.

9-5 SPARK PLUG INSPECTION

The spark plug is an important component of the engine, and it can easily be inspected. The engine's status can be determined from conditions of the spark plug. For a vehicle normally ridden, the ideal color of the white ceramic around the center electrode should be moderate or light brown. Do not diagnose the vehicle, bring it to your authorized Genuine dealer for inspection. The spark plug should be removed for inspections periodically due to the spark plug being damaged and/or gradually eroded by heat and deposits. Replace the spark plug if it has been eroded or contains excessive carbon deposits. Prior to installation, the spark plug gasket surface and dirt inside the threads should be cleaned or removed and the spark plug should be tightened according to the standard torque.

Spark plug specification: NGK CR8E

* Standard spark plug with a

gap between 0.7 and 0.8mm
