Chapter 4Instructions on fueland engine oil

1. Fuel! Warning

Gasoline is inflammable andexplosive. When handling gasoline,attention should be paid to preventburnt or accident.

In places where gasoline isstored or handled, shutdown theengine, do not smoke, and keepaway from naked flame orspark.Refueling should be made in awell ventilated place. Afterrefueling, immediately clean offany gasoline outside the fueltank.Please #93 or #95

(GB17930-1999) unleaded gasoline.This may prolong the service life ofspark plug.Note!

If the engine produces pingnoise, it may be caused by using ofimproper fuel. Replace with correctfuel.Ethanol gasoline

If ethanol gasoline is used,please use #90 or higher conformingto GB18351-2004. Do not usemethanol gasoline, even though itmay contain cosolvent andanti-corrosion agent.

Note! If ethanol gasoline is exposed to

water excessively, ethanol may beseparated, resulting in decrease ofgasoline octane number. Therefore,the storage time should not be toolong.

Before using ethanol gasoline forthe first time, make a throughcleaning of the fuel supply systemand fuel tank.

Always buy a proper amount ofethanol gasoline. Once there is apoor fuel tank sealing or a longstorage time, moisture content mayincrease, causing low octane numberand resulting in difficult ignition orweak power.2. Lubricant

(Please refer to RegularMaintenance Table)

Use high quality 4-strokeengine oil to prolong engine life.Engine oil should be SE or SDproduct in API classification. Engineoil of proper viscosity should beused according to local airtemperature. There are threeviscosity levels suitable for theengine, namely, SAE15W-40,SAE10W-30 and SAE5W-30. Referto the figure below:

Inferior lubricant may causeirretrievable loss to the engine andseriously shorten the service life ofengine.

Chapter 5Running-in of newmotorcycle

The importance of correct newvehicle running-in was mentioned inForeword. The correct running-inmethod is as follows.Maximum speed

The maximum speed duringrunning-in period is shown in thetable.

First 800 km <5000 rpm

At 1600 km <7500 rpm

After 1600 km <10000 rpm

Changes of engine speedDo not drive at a constant

engine speed for a long time. For abetter running-in, properly increaseand reduce the throttle opening.

Page 18: Important Cautions - My China Moto GY SERIES OWNER'S...Important Cautions About running-in of a motorcycle The first 1000 km operation is very important in the entire service life

-17-

Change engine speed from time totime to let various engine parts get"bearing" pressure. When thepressure is "unloaded", the engineparts will cool down, helping thefitting of different parts. Duringrunning-in period, engine load maybe properly increased. Apply someload to engine parts to guaranteegood fitting. This is every important,but do not apply excessive load tothe engine.Avoid riding at a low speeds

Running at a certain low enginespeed (with light load) can onlypolish the parts but cannot get agood running-in. So long as theupper limit of recommended throttleopening is not exceeded, drive thevehicle in various gears with properacceleration. However, never driveat the maximum acceleration duringthe first 1600 km.Circulating oil before riding

After starting of warm or coldengine and before applying load orriding, let the engine run at idlespeed for an adequate time. Thisallows lubricant to flow to all importengine parts, so as to reduce wearingand increase the service life. Thisalso helps the engine to warm-upsufficiently.First maintenance inspection

The maintenance of the first1000 km is the most important.

During running-in period, all engineparts have been run-in and otherparts engaged. Then, all parts shouldbe adjusted, all fasteners betightened, contaminated engine oilbe replaced and filter element bereplaced.

Timely making 1000 kmmaintenance can guarantee a longengine life and the best engineperformance.Precaution

1000 km maintenance shouldbe carried out according to the"Troubleshooting" in the manual.Pay special attention to the"precaution" and "warning" in thesection.

Chapter 7 Riding EssentialsWarning

If it is the first time for you to drive this type of motorcycle, you areadvised to practice on a road away from highways, until you have completelybeen familiar with the control and operation of the vehicle.

Before riding, make sure that the side stand is returned to the upliftposition.

Do not make gear shifting or deceleration in course of turning. Slowdown 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. While riding,

take a firm but relaxed hold of the handlebar with both hands and put yourfeet on the foot board. In any event, never free both hands from the handlebar.

On a wet road, the friction force is low and so is the brake force andturning 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 shutdownswitch in " " position. Insert the ignition key in ignition switch and turnit to ON position. If the transmission is in neutral position, the neutralindicator lamp is lit.

WarningMake it a habit to engage the neutral gear and firmly press the clutch

lever before starting the engine. This can prevent dash forward in case ofmistaking 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 avoidadverse effects to the engine.

If the engine is not started after 5 seconds, wait for 10 seconds beforemaking another attempt to prevent damaging the battery.

In case of failure in engine starting after two or three attempts, rotate theaccelerator grip for 1/8 or 1/4 turns and try again.

A motorcycle not used for a long time and poor atomizing fuel may

Page 21: Important Cautions - My China Moto GY SERIES OWNER'S...Important Cautions About running-in of a motorcycle The first 1000 km operation is very important in the entire service life

-20-

result in starting difficulty. In this case, do not rotate the accelerator grip, butrepeat starting.2 Starting with the kickback start lever

When the battery is over discharged, the engine can be started by usingthe kickback start lever.

Turn the ignition switch to ON position.Forcefully kick the kickback start lever.

Cold enginePut 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 startbutton; 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 adequatelywarmed-up, before putting the handle or lever to the original position. Thecolder it is, the longer warm-up time the engine takes. Otherwise, theacceleration may be poor.Warm engine Rotate accelerator grip for 1/8 - 1/4 turns, and press electric start buttonto start the engine. When the engine is warm, it is not necessary to usecarburetor enrichment system.Warning

Never start the engine in a room with poor or no ventilation becausecarbon monoxide gas is poisonous. Never leave the motorcycle unattendedwith a running engine.Precaution

Do not allow the engine run for a long time without riding, or theengine may get overheat causing damage to internal parts or chrome plating ofexhaust system.Start riding the motorcyclePrecaution Start the engine with the transmission in neutral position, the clutchengaged and driver riding in normal riding position.

Firmly press the clutch lever, wait a little moment, press down the gearlever to engage the first gear, rotate the accelerator grip slowly to you andsmoothly and slowly release the clutch lever. When the clutch is engaged, themotorcycle will move forward.

To change into a higher speed gear, firstly decelerate a little, release theaccelerator and, at the same time, press the clutch lever, shift the gear lever tothe next higher speed gear position and release the clutch lever, slightly rotatethe accelerator. In this way, the highest gear can be engaged gradually.Note

For high speed riding, always avoid releasing the accelerator suddenly. itis advised to wait a moment when the engine is running at 3000-5000rpmbefore fully releasing the accelerator. This can prevent the engine fromshutdown due to abnormal combustion.Use of transformation device

Transformation device is able to allow the engine running smoothlywithin normal range of operation. The transmission gear ratio is carefullyselected for the engine performance. Driver should select gears suitable togeneral conditions but should not use the clutch for the purpose of speedcontrol. To decelerate, shift to a low gear to allow the engine running in anormal speed range.Precaution

The engine speed should not be in the red range of the tachometer inany gear.Riding on a slope

To shift from a high gear to a low gear, control the speed in a safespeed range before gear shifting. Otherwise, abrupt deceleration (sudden riseof engine speed) may happen, causing gear impacts, sever parts wearing, oroverbalance of the vehicle. it is dangerous.Slope climbing:

When going up a steep slope, the motorcycle may decelerate due toinsufficient power. Then, immediately shift to a low gear to allow the enginerunning a normal power range. Pay attention that, gear shifting should bemade quickly to keep adequate forward momentum of the motorcycle.

When going down a slope, use the engine for braking, by shiftinginto a lower gear.

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.

Page 23: Important Cautions - My China Moto GY SERIES OWNER'S...Important Cautions About running-in of a motorcycle The first 1000 km operation is very important in the entire service life

-22-

Use gear shifting to slow down.Before the motorcycle is stopped, firmly press the clutch lever, shift into

neutral gear and observe the neutral indicator to make sure the neutral gear isengaged.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 thevehicle or object in front of you for adequate braking performance.

An inexperienced driver always uses the rear brake only. This will causepremature wearing and too long a braking distance.

It is dangerous to use front brake or rear brake only. This may causeslipping and out of control. On wet highway or other dull road surface andduring turning, be extremely careful to apply the brake gently. Hard brakingon rough or dull road surface is very dangerous.

The motorcycle should be parked on stable and flat ground.To park your motorcycle on a gentle slope by using the side stand,

Chapter 11 Storage Method

If the motorcycle is not used for a long time in winter or other seasons, itis 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 beforestorage: Wash the motorcycle, park it with the central stand on a solid and flatground and prevent it from rolling. Turn the handlebar of motorcycle to theleft side and lock it. Remove the ignition key. For safety, select a placesuitable for long time storage. To re-use the vehicle, carry out a completeinspection to ensure normal performance of all parts of the motorcycle.Fuel

Before storing the motorcycle, empty the fuel tank. Gasoline used inmotorcycles is highly flammable and even explosive under certain conditions.Therefore, never allow the motorcycle to get close to any fire. Never park thevehicle in a place storing articles subject to spontaneous combustion (such asgrains, coal, cotton, etc.), because fire hazard may happen when the fuel in thevehicle contacts naked flame.Tires

Ensure tire inflation to normal pressure value. Keep the outside of tireclean. Avoid exposing to sunshine or moisture for a long time. Avoidcontacting acid, alkali and oil to prevent tire corrosion.Battery

When the vehicle is not used for a long time, remove the battery andfully 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 thebattery is installed on the vehicle for a long time, recharge it every month.Steps during storage

For conventional batteries, check electrolyte levels every month. If thefluid level is low, replenish it with distilled water or pure water to the highestlevel mark. (Never use electrolyte or tap water)

Battery should be kept clean. Corrosion may happen if electrolyte issplashed to the vehicle body, terminal or wires. In case of corrosion, washimmediately with clear water and apply a coat of grease after drying off.

Insufficient power may cause difficulty in engine starting, weak horn
