Generally, motorcycle manuals recommend replacing shock absorber oil every 3,000 to 6,000 kilometers, but in practical use, it's not strictly necessary. Cleaning Tips: Regular cleaning and dust removal for shock absorbers are essential to minimize oil leakage triggers. Particularly for shock absorbers with exposed working stroke sections like the RX125 model, which are directly exposed to dust, it's crucial to effectively remove dust from the working stroke section with a soft cloth before each ride. Applying Protective Oil: When the motorcycle is not in use, applying protective oil to the working stroke section of the shock absorbers is vital to prevent corrosion and rust. Before each ride, check the tightness of the shock absorbers to ensure riding safety. Also, observe for any oil leakage to determine if disassembly or repair is needed, ensuring the shock absorbers remain in proper working condition.

What color is the coolant for Landwind X8?

The coolant for Landwind X8 is green. Coolant replacement method: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a particular focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to various parts, and the coolant is distributed to different sections of the car through this hose to perform its function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this area, replace the hose or re-secure the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir and continue adding water until it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir will have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until clear water flows out. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Top up the coolant to the maximum mark "MAXT" on the reservoir.
