OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

CAUTION:

ECA10260

● Even with the transmission in

the neutral position, do not

coast for long periods of time

with the engine off, and do not

tow the motorcycle for long dis-

tances. The transmission is

properly lubricated only when

the engine is running. Inade-

quate lubrication may damage

the transmission.

● Always use the clutch while

changing gears to avoid damag-

ing the engine, transmission,

and drive train, which are not

designed to withstand the

shock of forced shifting.

Tips for reducing fuel con-

sumption

Fuel consumption depends largely on

your riding style. Consider the following

tips to reduce fuel consumption:

● Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.

● Do not rev the engine while shifting

down, and avoid high engine

speeds with no load on the engine.

● Turn the engine off instead of let-

ting it idle for an extended length of

time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic

lights or at railroad crossings).

EAU16841

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period

in the life of your engine than the period

between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For

this reason, you should read the follow-

ing material carefully.

Since the engine is brand new, do not

put an excessive load on it for the first

1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in

the engine wear and polish themselves

to the correct operating clearances.

During this period, prolonged full-throt-

tle operation or any condition that might

result in engine overheating must be

avoided.

EAU17091

0–1000 km (0–600 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 6000

r/min.

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 7200

r/min.
