NOTE:
The fuel cock operates on vacuum
from the engine when set at “ON”
or “RES”. If the line connecting the
cock to the carburetor intake mani-
fold is not connected or has a leak,
the cock will not function properly.
EAU00208Fuel cock
The negative pressure fuel cock
supplies fuel from the tank to the
carburetor while filtering it also.
The fuel cock has the following
three positions:
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel
flows if the engine is running, but
stops if the engine is not running.
1. Arrow mark pointing to “ON”
RES
This indicates reserve. If you run
out of fuel while riding, move the
lever to “PRI”, start the engine,
then move the lever to “RES”. FILL
THE TANK AT THE FIRST OPPOR-
TUNITY. BE SURE TO MOVE THE
LEVER TO “ON” AFTER REFUEL-
ING.

EAU00424Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your motorcycle’s fuel consump-
tion depends to a large extent on
your riding style. The following
tips can help reduce fuel consump-
tion:
8Warm up the engine before
riding.
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
letting it idle for an extended
length of time, i.e. in traffic
jams, at traffic lights or rail-
road crossings.
EAU00436Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your motorcy-
cle than the period between zero
and 1,000 km. For this reason we
ask that you carefully read the fol-
lowing material. Because the
engine is brand new, you must not
put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,000 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, pro-
longed full throttle operation, or
any condition which might result in
excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.
EAU004430 ~ 150 km
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5
to 10 minutes after every hour of
operation. Vary the speed of the
motorcycle from time to time. Do
not operate it at one set throttle
position.
150 ~ 500 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
1/2 throttle. Rev the motorcycle
freely through the gears, but do
not use full throttle at any time.
500 ~ 1,000 km
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of
3/4 throttle.
EC000052
cC
After 1,000 km of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil and
oil filter.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “Energy
Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced
component life and poor engine performance.
