4. MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL

Fuel Tank

Your vehicle's fuel tank capacity is 5.5 liters. The fuel tank cap is located under the seat. After turning the key to unlock the seat, you can open the fuel tank cap by turning it by hand. If the fuel gauge needle approaches the red zone, you should refuel as soon as possible. It is recommended to use a minimum of 95 octane unleaded gasoline. If your fuel consumption is higher than expected or if the fuel level decreases even when the vehicle is not in use, please check for any leaks in the tank.

WARNING

• Ensure there are no leaks in the fuel lines.
• Check that there are no cracks, blockages, or any damage to the fuel hose.

CAUTION

Ensure that no foreign substances like dust or water enter your vehicle's fuel tank. Pay attention to fuel quality when refueling. Poor quality fuel can damage your vehicle. Do not mix motor oil with fuel. Your engine is designed to run on unleaded gasoline only.

Lighting Components

• The lighting system positioned at the front and rear should be used to increase visibility during both dark and daylight driving conditions. Enhancing visibility will elevate the safety level of your ride. As required by regulations, the high beam headlights will automatically turn on when the vehicle is started to increase visibility. To activate the lighting system, start the vehicle. For high beam headlights, press the high beam switch located on the left side of the panel.

Vehicle Stands

• To keep the vehicle in a flat and stable position, there is a center stand (main stand) and a side stand (side stand). To engage the center stand, press down on the foot of the stand and gently push the vehicle backward. To retract the stand, push the vehicle forward. The side stand has a side stand sensor. This sensor prevents the vehicle from being energized when the side stand is in the open position for safety reasons. Make sure the side stand is in the retracted position before starting the vehicle.

Batarya

• Do not dispose of the acid liquid inside your used battery into the ground, water, or sewage system.

Diagram showing oil dipstick with upper and lower limits.

• Insert the clean oil dipstick directly into its tube.
• Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. If the oil level is at or below the lower limit, add oil until it reaches the upper limit.
• Use 10W-40 oil for the engine and 80W-90 oil for the transmission.

CAUTION

The quality and type of oil you use are very important. Using low-quality oil directly affects the engine's lifespan. Always use oil that you are sure of in terms of quality and authenticity. The type of oil you use should definitely be the recommended oil.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable, it can explode under certain conditions. When refueling, always make sure to turn off the ignition and ensure the area is well-ventilated. Gasoline is also corrosive; Do not overfill the fuel tank as it may damage your vehicle. Immediately after refueling, close and lock the fuel tank cap.

Gasoline contains toxic substances that can cause harm or even death if ingested accidentally or if its fumes are inhaled in high concentrations. Avoid contact with your skin and do not inhale the fumes.

Brake Maintenance

Brake pads wear out due to the working principle. It should be replaced when it reaches certain safety levels. Inspection of this safety level and change of pads should be done by authorized services. Unreplaced brake pads cause the brake system to work poorly, make noise, and in some cases, break other parts. Brakes should be checked at every service period.

CAUTION

Brake pads should always be replaced with original parts. Low-quality components may damage other parts of the vehicle and can also affect the performance of your vehicle.

You can check the ignition system by following these steps. If you detect any issues, please contact the nearest authorized service center.

Diagram illustrating the ignition system check process: Turn key to 'on', lower side stand, lift side stand, pull brake lever and press start button, check if engine stops.

WARNING

When testing the ignition system, your motorcycle should be on the center stand.

Tire Pressure Check

Check the pressure levels of your tyres daily. Tyre pressures above and below the norm will affect the vehicle's handling, acceleration, energy consumption and similar performances.

Check your tyres daily for punctures, cuts or any other unusual condition. Also on the rims; crushing, scratching and inclination can cause pressure loss. This type of damage can cause your vehicle to unbalance and vibration. In case of such situations, please visit the nearest official service point and have the damage repaired.

WARNING

• If the tyre does not have the correct air pressure, it will wear out more quickly and its life will be shortened, as well deflated tyres may cause an accident as they reduce grip.
• In case of very low air pressure, the tyre may come off the rim.
• Your tyres will wear out as you use them. You should change your tyre when your tread depth decreases. Depending on the road, climate and usage conditions, your tyre life may be extended or shortened. Drivers should check tire pressure and tread depth regularly.
• Tyres with low tread depth will reduce grip, especially on wet surfaces. Minimum tread depth is 1.5 mm for front tyre, 2.0 mm for rear tyre. Such situations cause accidents.

Air Filter Cleaning

Dirty air filter disrupts the ideal air-fuel mixture ratio and increases fuel consumption. This also leads to an increase in exhaust emissions. Regularly clean the air filter.

• Remove the air filter sponge from its box.
• Clean it with a cleaning oil and let it air dry. (Do not use gasoline for cleaning!)
• Once it is completely free of cleaning oil, place it back in the plastic box.
• The air filter is made of cellulose sponge and should be checked and cleaned every 2,000 km. Clean it using a detergent solution specifically designed for this purpose and rinse thoroughly. Before use, apply a small amount of oil. Additionally, as shown in the maintenance schedule, replace it every 6,000 km.

CAUTION

• If your vehicle is used in rainy or dusty conditions, you should check and replace the air filter more frequently.
• Do not use gasoline for cleaning.

Engine Oil and Transmission Oil Change

The first change of your engine oil and transmission oil should be done at 500 km. Ensure that you regularly check and change the engine oil and transmission oil according to the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.

Diagram showing transmission oil fill and drain points.

CAUTION

• If you use the vehicle under extreme conditions such as rough roads, high performance, or unusual climate conditions, increase the frequency of oil changes and checks.

CAUTION

Insufficient oil levels can lead to increased wear and potential damage to your vehicle's engine. Regularly check your vehicle's oil level.

Spark Plug Inspection

Dirty spark plugs or those with an unusually high gap between the electrodes cannot ignite.

Bujiyi;

• Clean the spark plug with a spark plug cleaner.
• The gap between the two electrodes should be 0.6 to 0.7 mm. Adjust this gap as needed.
• Please use the spark plug recommended by the manufacturer.

Assembly of the Suspension

• Lift the vehicle to the center stand. Push the rear axle back and forth by hand. If there is any play, tighten it again. Ensure that it is fully tightened and in the correct position.
• Ensure that all nuts securing the front and rear suspensions are tightened. If suspension connections are not properly tightened, some connection points may be subjected to forces beyond normal levels, which can lead to damage and potentially cause an accident.

Adjusting the Throttle Lever

• Check that the throttle lever moves easily from the lowest to the highest position.
• The distance from the highest position to the point where the throttle responds should be between 2 and 6 mm. To adjust this, loosen the locking nut, turn the adjuster, and then tighten it again.

Maintenance Period

• Even if your vehicle runs smoothly, it should be checked at regular intervals by going to authorized services. These intervals are specified in detail on the next pages of the user manual. Vehicles that have experienced problems or have had an accident should be taken directly to the authorized service without waiting for the maintenance interval. In such cases, repairs must be made with the original parts.
• Maintenance, repair, modification or any change that will increase the performance of the vehicle other than the contracted service stations approved by the manufacturer will cause the product to be out of warranty.

CAUTION

To ensure the safety and longevity of your vehicle, please avoid modifications. Modified vehicles can jeopardize both your safety and that of others on the road. Always use parts approved by the manufacturer.

WARNING

• Before performing any maintenance, for your personal safety, make sure to turn off the engine and place the vehicle on its center stand. Even for simple maintenance tasks, do not perform them unless the engine is off and the vehicle is on the center stand.
• If the vehicle has not been used for 1 month or more, check components that may have worn out or rusted, such as fuel, tires, and the battery, before starting to use it again.

5. STORAGE CONDITIONS

Storage

If you are not going to use your vehicle for a long time during periods such as winter, you should take some precautions to protect your vehicle from malfunctions and corrosions. It would be better to make some repairs before storage.

• Check the engine oil and replace it if necessary.
• Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor. Clean with rust remover oil and then securely close the fuel tank cap. Do not smoke or play with fire while draining the tank.
• Remove the spark plug and pour a spoonful of engine oil into the cylinder. Run the engine for a few minutes. After the oil has fully coated the cylinder, reinstall the spark plug.
• Remove your battery. Store it at room temperature in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight (20-25°C is ideal). Charge the battery at least once a month.
• Clean, rinse and dry your vehicle. Coating the painted surfaces with protective oil will extend the life of your paint and ensure that it retains its first day's shine.
• Bring the tire pressure of your electric vehicle to the ideal level. Raise the vehicle onto the center stand and place wooden blocks under the front and rear wheels to lift them off the ground.
• Cover with a non-plastic or non-rubber cover. Ensure that the storage conditions avoid significant temperature fluctuations. High temperature changes can cause many parts of your vehicle to fatigue, degrade, or crack.

Putting the motorcycle back into use

• Remove the cover from your vehicle and clean it.
• If you have not used the vehicle for more than 4 months, change the engine oil.
• Check the battery fluid level and top it up if necessary. Reconnect the battery.
• Empty the fuel tank of rust remover oil and refill it with gasoline.
• Start the vehicle after completing all pre-driving instructions.
• Perform the initial operation in a traffic-free area. Only enter traffic after ensuring that all components of the vehicle are operating correctly and at full performance.

• All loads on the vehicle must be evenly distributed. The vehicle's center of gravity is precisely adjusted. Disruption of this balance may cause instability, leading to accidents or damage.
• The rear carrier is designed only for carrying light items. Please do not carry heavy items.
• When calculating your vehicle's carrying capacity, add up all the loads being carried. This includes the driver, passenger, and all carried items.
