Known Issues
|
Carburetor Performance:
|
Some users report lean conditions or flat spots, often addressed by rejetting or tuning the CVK34 carburetor, which the manual will detail.
|
Suspension Softness:
|
Stock suspension can be considered soft for aggressive off-road use, but the manual provides adjustment and rebuild procedures.
|
Cooling System Efficiency:
|
Proper coolant level and fan operation are critical, especially during sustained low-speed off-road riding. The manual covers checks and maintenance.
