Air filter cleaning	Every ride (dusty) / 10 hours	Clean with filter oil and reinstall
Spark plug check	25 hours	Clean or replace with recommended type
Chain adjustment/lube	Every 5 hours	Adjust slack to 50-55mm, lubricate
Brake fluid change	100 hours / annually	Bleed and replace fluid (DOT 4)
Fork/shock service	100 hours	Inspect seals, change oil as needed

Engine and Transmission

Engine: 2-stroke with power valve system. Requires fuel/oil mixture (60:1). Transmission: 6-speed, wet multi-plate clutch.

Fuel mixture: Always mix fuel and oil thoroughly before refueling.
Power valve: Inspect and clean every 50 hours; adjust if necessary.
