|
Performance
|
|
Horsepower Range:
|
Approximately 30-55 HP depending on displacement and tuning. Manual will detail specific output for each variant.
|
|
Torque Characteristics:
|
Strong low-end and mid-range torque, characteristic of larger displacement single-cylinder engines.
|
|
Fuel System
|
|
Carburetor Type:
|
Primarily Mikuni or Keihin flat-slide carburetors (e.g., VM series, CV carbs). Specific models and sizes (e.g., 36mm, 38mm, 40mm) vary by engine displacement.
|
|
Fuel Delivery:
|
Gravity feed from fuel tank to carburetor, or sometimes electric fuel pump for later models or specific variants.
|
|
Oil System
|
|
Oil Capacity Approx:
|
Typically 1.5 - 2.0 liters. Manual will specify exact capacity for each model.
|
|
Oil Type Recommendation:
|
Synthetic or semi-synthetic motorcycle oil with appropriate viscosity grade (e.g., 10W-40, 15W-50) and JASO MA certification. Manual will provide precise specifications.
|
|
Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 3,000-5,000 km (1,800-3,000 miles) or annually. Manual provides precise intervals.
|
|
Valve Adjustment Interval:
|
Often around 6,000-10,000 km (3,700-6,200 miles). Critical for maintaining performance and preventing damage. Manual details procedure and specific intervals.
|
|
