NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

If any item in the Pre-Operation Check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating
the motorcycle.

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.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-2
8Improper 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.
8Do 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, solvent
or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.8Do 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 (couplers,
connectors, instruments,
switches and lights), breather
hoses and vents.
8For 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 corrosive in combina-
tion with water, carry out the fol-
lowing 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
protection spray on all (even
chrome- and nickel-plated)
metal surfaces to prevent cor-
rosion.
