=Notes & Fun Facts=
==Engine & Fluids==
===Engine===
*Engine is a 4-stroke, single cylinder 125cc LC125FMI Loncin
*Recommended cold valve clearance is 0.05mm (both intake & exhaust)
*Typical battery voltage is 12.8VDC
*Factory idle speed = 1500 +/- 150 RPM in Neutral
*Recommended spark plug gap is 0.6-0.7mm (0.024-0.028")
*Spark plug recommendations from the manufacturer
**[https://www.ngk.com/ngk-2983-cr6hsa-nickel-spark-plug NGK CR6HSA] <-- this is the spark plug most people recommend
**Thunder 1E6

===Oil===
*Oil Capacity = 800ml = 28.16oz
*The Champion doesn't take Gear Oil. The sticker on the bike is there in error or is a poor translation
*The Champion has a Wet Clutch and requires T4 Motorcycle Oil
*Bobcat's Motorsports recommends breaking in the engine with Conventional Oil
*There are various recommendations of 10W30, 10W40, & 15W40 weight oils. Any are probably fine so long as they are 4 stroke "wet clutch rated". 10W40 4T Conventional Motorcycle Oil during engine break-in and then a 15W40 Synthetic Diesel Oil is what I'm going with.
===Fuel Delivery===*Oil Capacity The Gas Tank holds a total of 3300ml (3.3L, 0.87gal) of usable fuel (this is the main + reserve). The main fuel capacity is 2600ml (2.6L, 0.69gal). The reserve capacity is 700ml (0.7L, 0.18gal). This was tested by me by filling up the tank to the brim and the draining and measuring first the main fuel line, followed by the reserve fuel line. Note that a very small amount of fuel, that the reserve port cannot access, remains in the tank after draining in this manner.*Fuel Line size is 5mm or 3/16"*91 (R+M)/2 Octane Unleaded Ethanol-free Gasoline is recommended (although I have been running it successfully off 90 Octane Unleaded Ethanol-free Gasoline)*Purpose Built Auxiliary Fuel Tank Options**[https://www.cajunmaddogs.com/product-page/champion-auxillary-gas-tank-109-95 1L Champion Auxiliary Fuel Tank] that bolts to the frame left of the seat**[https://www.facebook.com/sharkbitescustomminis/posts/328256737815408 1Gal Sharkbite's Custom Mini's Auxiliary Fuel Tank] that bolts under the luggage rack==Interface & Keys= 800ml = 28.16oz
*Odometer is Kilometers
* Key Blank options (maybe... based on info found on 'the net'. not all tested)

*Right hand mirror is reverse threaded
*The Stem or Yoke tube is threaded M22x1.00 and the ID is 15mm. This Open Stem Nut fits if you want to expose the hollow tube to, perhaps, mount accessories (although it is slightly taller than the exposed threads on the Tube so the nut will extend 2-4mm above the tube depending on whether or not you use the factory washers)

==Drive Train==
*Standard Chain is a 420 series, but 428 series works and has more tensile strength. Both are 1/2" pitch length.
*Stock gearing is a 16 tooth front sprocket & 32 tooth rear sprocket
*Unlike the original CT70 and many clones, the Icebear Champion PBZ125-2 uses a bolt type rear sprocket (clearance holes, no tabs sticking out)
*Recommended chain tension is 15-25mm (0.59-0.98")
==Suspension * Brakes==
*Front Suspension Max Compression is approximately 2.66"
