Operation

Break-In Period

Perform the following break-in and maintenance procedures carefully.
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always

exercise extreme caution whenever han-

dling gasoline.

2. Check the oil level. Add the recom-

mended oil as needed to maintain the oil

level in the proper range. See page 99.

3. Allow the engine sufficient time to

warm up before operating.

4. Drive slowly at first. Select an open

area that allows room to familiarize

yourself with vehicle operation and

handling.

5. Excessive heat build-up during the first

three hours of operation will damage

close-fitted engine parts. Do not allow

engine speed to exceed 7000 RPM dur-

ing the first three hours of use.

6. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate

at sustained idle.

7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels,

controls and areas outlined on the daily

pre-ride inspection checklist. See page

60.

8. At the end of the break-in period (3

hours), change the engine oil and the

long and short oil filters. See page 100.

Clean the oil screen and drain plug

magnet.
