Tyre pressures, fluids, spark plug, dimensions and other figures for the 650DSX, gathered from the comparison tables on this site. Each heading links to the guide it comes from.
What to check before buying a second-hand Voge: papers and service stamps against the factory schedule, recalls, a cold start, chain, brakes, tyres and steering, and the known weak points of each model.
Where to find the wiring diagram for 18 Voge models: the owner manual edition that prints it, a link to the exact PDF page, and the editions that leave it out.
Front and rear disc diameter, caliper configuration and ABS channels for nineteen Voge models, and the shared brake package that runs across eight of them.
The drive chain designation and link count printed in twelve Voge owner manuals, with the fitting torques, the sealed chain requirement and the one model whose manual gives two figures.
Which warning lights are part of the start-up self test on a Voge, when each should go out, the three that indicate a fault, and the indicator behaviour that signals a failed bulb.
Overall length, width and height, wheelbase and ground clearance for twenty-two Voge models, taken from the parameter table of each owner manual.
Tank capacity for twenty-three Voge models, the level at which the low fuel warning appears, and the minimum octane each manual specifies, with the three figures the manuals dispute.
Where the adjuster is located on each Voge model, which direction raises or lowers the beam, why the low and high beam screws work in opposite senses, and how to check the setting.
The idle speed each Voge manual specifies with its tolerance, what a reading outside the band indicates, and the bore, stroke, compression and power figures including the DS625X A2 rating.
Seat height for sixteen Voge models as printed in the technical parameter table of each owner manual, including the two models recorded with two different figures.
The button sequence that disables ABS on the 650DSX, the long press used on the DS625X and DS525X, why the system re-arms itself, and how a disabled system is distinguished from a fault.
Front and rear tyre size for twenty-four Voge models, with rim widths where the manual prints them, taken from the parameter table of each owner manual.
What the maintenance plan asks of the air filter at each service, the 1,000 km rule on the 300 series engine, the correct cleaning method and the housing torque figures.
The level check the manuals describe, the 3 to 5 mm rule for topping up, why a falling level normally indicates pad wear rather than a leak, and the two-year limit that overrides distance.
The replacement intervals in the Voge maintenance plan, the three indications that pads are worn, how the friction material is assessed and the procedure for fitting a new set.
What each lamp on a Voge consists of, why the wattages appear so low, what a failure means when the unit is a sealed LED, and the two problems LED retrofits cause on older models.
The seven fuse ratings printed in the Voge manuals, the three that differ between model families, the consequences of fitting the wrong rating and how a symptom identifies the fuse.
The seven-service maintenance plan printed in the Voge owner manuals, what its I, C, R, A and L codes require, the two-year limits that override distance, and the kilometre chart for the 300 engine.
Spark plug types and electrode gaps from the Voge owner manuals, the services at which the plan replaces them, the significance of the heat range and how a used plug is read.
Cold tyre pressures for twenty-three Voge models as printed in the tyre chapter of each owner manual, with the three models that deviate and the misprint in the 300 Rally manual.
Cold intake and exhaust valve clearances for six Voge engines from the parameter tables, what an incorrect clearance sounds like and why the silent fault is the damaging one.
Kerb weight, load capacity and maximum weight across the Voge range, the per-axle limits printed for the DS900X, and what exceeding the rating does to tyres, suspension and brakes.
Where the coolant level is read on a Voge, the three conditions the reading requires, the situation in which the manual forbids topping up, and what a falling level indicates.
The rev and speed limits each Voge manual sets for the first 1,000 km, why constant-speed riding is the mistake to avoid, and the separate running-in periods for tyres and brakes.
The terminal order for removal and refitting, the charging voltage and current the manual specifies, the 12.6 V threshold, and the three settings that are lost when the battery is disconnected.
Oil quantity, grade and coolant capacity for twenty-one Voge models from the parameter tables, the separate gearbox oil the scooters take, and the two capacities the manuals dispute.
