โ๏ธ Engine Specifications
Primary Engine
Engine Variants:
250cc, 300cc, 375cc, 400cc, 500cc (specific engine configurations vary by model, e.g., 2-stroke or 4-stroke, liquid-cooled or air-cooled are not explicitly detailed but covered by model-specific sections).
Performance
Engine Type General:
Single-cylinder, 4-stroke (common across most models, though some earlier 250/300 variants might have different configurations).
Fuel System
Carburetion Injection:
Carbureted (likely Keihin or Mikuni) for most models, with fuel injection (EFI) noted for specific 'i' or 'FIS' designations (e.g., 500i, 400FIS).
๐ง Transmission
Standard
Transmission Type:
Automatic (CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission) is prevalent, with mention of 'Automatic' in several model names. Some models may have offered manual transmissions or alternative automatic configurations.
Features
Drive Modes:
2WD/4WD selectable operation mentioned for various models.
๐ Dimensions
Exterior
Atv Type:
All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
๐ก๏ธ Safety Features
Ratings
Safety Features General:
Standard safety features typical of ATVs of this era, including throttle safety restraints, brake system reliability, and robust frame construction.
๐ก Technology Features
Infotainment
Dashboard Features:
Basic dashboard indicators for speed, engine RPM (on some models), neutral, reverse, and oil pressure/temperature warnings.
Driver Assistance
Drive System Features:
Features like automatic transmission (CVT), selectable 2WD/4WD, and potentially engine braking systems are covered.
๐ง Maintenance
Service Intervals
Maintenance Schedule:
The manual provides detailed periodic maintenance schedules, likely covering items such as oil changes, filter replacements, spark plug checks, brake inspections, and drive system lubrication at specified mileage or operating hour intervals.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil:
Specific engine oil viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50) and API service classifications will be detailed in the manual. Likely requires a motorcycle-specific oil that meets JASO MA standards due to wet clutch operation.
Coolant:
For liquid-cooled models, the manual will specify the type and mixture ratio of antifreeze/coolant (e.g., ethylene glycol based) and its capacity.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is typically specified for hydraulic brake systems.
Gearbox Oil:
Manuals will specify the correct lubricant for the transmission and differential gearcases, likely a hypoid gear oil meeting SAE 80W-90 or 75W-90 specifications.
Known Issues
Common Problems:
While not explicitly listed in the product description, a comprehensive manual of this nature would address common wear items and potential issues prevalent in 2002 ATVs, such as carburetor adjustments, starter motor reliability, suspension component wear, and drive belt condition for CVT models.
