Remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the engine.
Replace the spark plug. Clean the carburetor jetting. Inspect the brake pads and clutch plates. 3. Step-by-Step Service Procedures Fluid Dynamics: Changing the Oil

Note: Keep parts organized and photographed during disassembly. Use torque specs and note bearing orientation.
The 152FMH shares its engine oil with the transmission and clutch assembly. containing friction modifiers, as this will cause the wet clutch to slip. Use a high-quality 10W-40 JASO MA/MA2 certified motorcycle oil.
Place the top compression ring flat inside the cylinder bore using the piston head to square it. Measure the gap with a feeler gauge. Service limit: 0.45 mm . Remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the engine
Proper fluid management and correct fastener torque prevent catastrophic engine failure and stripped aluminum threads. Fluid Capacities
Measures 100–150 Ohms to ground. Ignition Coil Primary: Measures 0.4–0.6 Ohms.
Slide a 0.05 mm feeler gauge between the valve stem end and the rocker arm adjusting screw. Inspect the brake pads and clutch plates
Insert a 0.05mm feeler gauge between the valve stem and the rocker arm adjuster bolt. It should slide through with a slight, smooth drag.
Install a new head gasket. Position the cylinder head and tighten bolts to the factory torque specification using the proper sequence. Key Service Tips Most 152FMH engines use 10W-40 4-stroke motorcycle oil (JASO MA2 compliant if it has a wet clutch). Valve Timing:
Regular maintenance is the key to longevity. According to typical manufacturer recommendations for 152FMH engine parts:
