Technical Data Preview
Precise specifications form the backbone of proper vehicle care. The engine section details the 249 cm³ air-cooled single-cylinder configuration running a 9.50:1 compression ratio. Fastener tightness is absolutely critical. The factory sets the spark plug torque at 18 Nm (13 ft-lbf), while the axle nut requires 85 Nm (61 ft-lbf).
Proper fluid management is equally important. The manual dictates a 1.30 L engine oil capacity (including filter change) and outlines exact tire pressure baselines for varied load conditions. Electrical schematics and parameters cover the 12 V 6.0 Ah battery and specific headlight bulb wattages. This document provides the definitive factory data for the base model build.
