new to the forum just got my 2017 Apollo rx 250 delivered last Saturday. Never rode bikes before so this is my first bike but i have worked on cars so i have some type of knowledge. started building it almost ready to run. I have changed the oil and waiting to install the battery because there is few questions i have and dont want to mess any thing up

In picture one, just leave it the way it is
In picture two, it is not a tensioner. You will make the chain adjustments at the rear axle. The manual that came with the bike has the suggested amount of slack Change the oil that came in the bike from the factory before running. I use the gn4 Honda 10/40w. Some people suggest the rotella 15/40 t4 oil Picture three is the idle adjustment screw In picture 4 the hose routes to the bottom of the bike. It does not plug into anything. |

http://store.orionmotors.nl/ shows a good old "wet" 12N9-4B-1 (ie. YB9-B) which Yuasa don't had AGM (dry) equivalent... Motobatt had a 11Ah http://www.motobatt.com/MB9U that similar in size / Short of $ = https://www.chromebattery.com/detail...ery-yb9-b.html | https://bikemaster.com/motorcycle-ba...eries.html?p=2 is the gel version Try lightweight LiFePO4 if u trust newer tech

If you aren't looking for anything fancy or street legal, then a simple toggle switch or push button switch and a common power feed off the battery can be done to turn both off and on at the same time. The simplest and most reliable way to do this would be to use a switch to ground on a relay, then have the relay send power to each light, then ground to the chassis at each end. This will save having to run miles of wire back and forth on the bike, and be safer. Just make sure to put an inline fuse somewhere on the main power wire to the lights before it splits off between the front and rear.
