Specification Highlights

Technical data is presented in detailed maintenance tables to facilitate accurate component evaluation. The engine displacement is explicitly 249 cm³, while the transmission uses a constant-mesh 5-speed architecture. Torque values for critical fasteners, such as cylinder head nuts (28 Nm) and spark plug (20 Nm), are provided in both Nm and ft-lbs. Intake valve clearance is not applicable due to the 2-stroke design, though reed valve bending limits are strictly documented at 0.2 mm. Fuel tank capacity is specified at 8.0 liters with a recommended 30:1 premix ratio for high-performance lubrication. Note: All service data shown here is for reference only — qualified technicians and the original OEM documentation remain the authoritative source for any hands-on work.
