WARNING:

(8)Tire (Illustration 11)

Appropriate tire pressure will promise steady and enjoyable drive and also will prolong the tire 
life. Inspection of the tire pressure should be carried out in a 

“

cold ” situation.

It is dangerous to ride on worn tires and also will defect tire performance , turning, operating ,

 stability, etc. Tire must be replaced when tire is worn to 

①

position. Check before ride if there

 are cuts or nails, or deformation of tires and rims.

Note:
1. Extra tire wearing can be caused by improper tire pressure and lead 

accidents;

2. Damage of the tire or tire off the rims can be caused due to insufficient

 tire pressure.

OPERATION GUIDE

Engine oil: SG or above.

Note:
1.Replace the enginge oil in engine warming condition ;
2.Contact CFMOTO for service or inspection if necessary during break-in;
Maintenance in the service place is needed when break-in is over. 

(2)Inspection before driving.

To ensure the performance and safety, a routine inspection shall be performed before daily drive.

Procedures: 

1. Check engine oil(see P29) and make sure there is no leakage

;

2. Check if there is enough fuel

;

3. Check if there is enough coolant and make sure there is no leakage

;

4. Check front and rear brakes(free distance: front 10

- 2 0

mm

 & 

rear

 1 0 - 2 0

mm

) 

for

 

smooth

 

operation

;

5. Check front and rear tire air pressure and for cuts or wearing

;

6. Check driven chain to see if lubrication status is good

;

7. Check throttle hand lever: free distance is 2 to 6 mm

,

and

 

easy

 

operation

;

8. Check lights and signals: front headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turning lights, signals, and 
horns

;

9. Check the battery and add distilled water if necessary

;

10. Checking steering for smooth operation, no loose position

;

11. Check clutch lever: free distance should be between 10 to 20 mm

 

and

 

easy

 

handling

;

CLIMBING OR TURNING

1. During climbing, power is also very limited due to high gear. In this case, shift to low gear 
when climbing to avoid clutch slippery

 

due

 

to

 

too

 

sharp

 

speed

 

deceleration

;

2. During turning, clutch slippery may occur due to sudden throttle

 

release and deceleration. 

In this case.

BRAKE

 

Pic

15: 

1. During acceleration

,

front and rear brake are both needed

(

Slowly grasp front brake lever and

 put foot on rear brake, never brake with only front or rear brake

)

for

 

brake

;

2. In case of emergency, switch off vehicle and use front and rear brake to stop

;

3. Try to avoid sudden brake, because sudden brake will cease the front and rear wheel suddenly 
and cause vehicle out of control

4. Do not accelerate or decelerate or turn sharply on soft or slipper road to avoid falling and

 vehicle out of control

;

5. During long downgrade, use the front or rear brake once in a while and shift to low gear. 
Brake with the engine to avoid

 

paws

 

and rims too hot and reduce the braking capability.

1. Slowly

 

release

 

throttle

 

and

 

decelerate

;

2. Gently use the front and rear brake to stop the vehicle

;

3. Switch off vehicle
