cC
Do not run the motorcycle until
you know it has sufficient engine
oil.
NOTE:
Even if the oil is filled to the specified
level, the indicator light may flicker
when riding on a slope or during sud-
den acceleration or deceleration, but
this is normal.

Engine temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the coolant tem-
perature when the main switch is on.
The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load. If the needle points to
the red zone or higher, stop your
motorcycle and let the engine cool.
(See page 6-10 for details.)

NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a
very short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.
w
If any item in the Pre-Operation Check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating
the motorcycle.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your motorcycle’s fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your rid-
ing style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:
8Warm up the engine before rid-
ing.
8Turn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
8Shift up swiftly and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
8Do not double-clutch or rev the
engine while shifting down and
avoid high engine speeds with
no load on the engine.
8Turn off the engine instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or railroad crossings.
EAU00436Engine break-in
There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your motorcycle than
the period between zero and 1,000
km. For this reason we ask that you
carefully read the following material.
Because the engine is brand new,
you must not put an excessive load
on it for the first 1,000 km. The vari-
ous parts in the engine wear and pol-
ish themselves to the correct operat-
ing clearances. During this period,
prolonged full throttle operation, or
any condition which might result in
excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.

Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent
and water to clean plastic.
8 8
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abra-
sive cleaning products, sol-
vent or thinner, fuel (gasoline),
rust removers or inhibitors,
brake fluid, antifreeze or elec-
trolyte.8 8
Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep-
age and deterioration in the
following areas: seals (of
wheel bearings, swingarm
bearings, forks and brakes),
electric components (cou-
plers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
8 8
For motorcycles equipped
with a windshield: Do not use
strong cleaners or hard
sponges as they will cause
dulling or scratching. Some
cleaning compounds for plas-
tic may leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product
on a small hidden part of the
windshield to make sure they
do not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
pound after washing.After riding in the rain, near the sea
or on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads in the winter are extremely cor-
rosive in combination with water,
carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads. (Salt sprayed
in the winter may remain on the roads
well into spring.)
1. Clean your motorcycle with cold
water and soap after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
cC
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of
the salt.
2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even
chrome- and nickel-plated) metal
surfaces to prevent corrosion.
