Change engine oil
PROCEDURE:
●Drain off the engine oil
Park the motorcycle with side stand on flat ground.
Rotate the engine oil level gauge⑴ anticlockwise and take it out.
Disassemble the engine air guider before draining the engine oil is suggested.Otherwise, use a tool to guide the
oil in case it contaminate the plastic covers.
Place holders to collect engine oil under draining bolt on the chassis (as left bottom picture shown) and draining
bolt on the engine (as left middle picture shown).
Disassemble draining bolts⑶ on the chassis and the engine. Take off sealing gasket⑵. Drain thoroughly the
engine oil.
Wipe off the dirty oil with clean nonwovens. Be sure that the surface of oil draining bolt and sealing gasket are
not scratched and has no inpurity before reassembling. Torque on bolt is 24±4N.m. Too strong will damage the
thread. Too week will cause leakage of oil.
Add from opening on right crankcase of engine 1.6L(1.7L if oil filter is changed) new engine oil of SAE 10W-
50/10W-40 with API SM degree or higher. Then reassemble the engine oil gauge.
Start the engine and test it under different rotation speed for 2 minutes. Check if the engine oil leaks.
Run the engine at idling speed for 5 minutes then shut down the engine for 3 minutes. Check the engine oil level
gauge. If oil level is lower than minimum mark, add more engine oil until liquid surface reaches maximum mark.
Follow the steps above-mentioned and check again if engine oil leaks.
CAUTION:
●Disassembling the cooling system while the motorcycle is hot is prohibited. Wait until the engine and muffler
cool down thoroughly for the manipulation.
●Wasted engine oil should be collected and hand over to qualified facilities for further treatment. Do not pour
the oil anywhere and avoid pollution of environment and water source.
●Changing the draining bolt and sealing gasket every time when changing the engine oil is suggested.
●It is recommended to buy genuine "ZONTES" special oil on the official website.
●Since the crankshaft connecting rod of the engine is bushing structure, at least 1 liter of oil should be added to
start the engine before replacing the oil.Otherwise, the bearing bush may be scrapped or the crankshaft may get
stuck.
