CAUTION:
See starting instructions prior to
starting the engine.
EAU00149
Fuel reserve switch ÒFUELÓ
This switch should usually be kept
ÒONÓ while riding. If you run out of fuel
while riding, move the switch to ÒRESÓ
and refuel at the first opportunity. Then
move the switch to ÒONÓ.
When the switch is turned to reserve
ÒRESÓ, about 2.5 L remain in the fuel
tank.

off system is incorporated in the clutch
lever holder. Pull the clutch lever to the
handlebar to disengage the clutch, and
release the lever to engage the clutch.
The lever should be pulled rapidly and
released slowly for smooth clutch oper-
ation. (Refer to the engine starting pro-

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
/Net/layout8/layout_G2/work/Imai_work/OM-PS/AA9149_XV535-E6/English/E-4.frame
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be thoroughly 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.
Sidestand pivot¥ Check for smooth operation.
¥ Lubricate if necessary.6-23
Chassis fasteners¥ Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.
¥ Tighten if necessary.Ñ
Fuel tank¥ Check fuel level.
¥ Fill with fuel if necessary.3-5 ~ 3-6
Lights, signals and
switches¥ Check for proper operation. 6-27 ~ 6-29

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU00424
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your motorcycleÕs fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your
riding style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:
lWarm up the engine before riding.
lTurn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
lShift up swiftly and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
lDo not double-clutch or rev the en-
gine while shifting down and avoid
high engine speeds with no load
on the engine.
lTurn off the engine instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or railroad crossings.
EAU00436
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
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 various parts in the en-
gine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During
this period, prolonged full throttle oper-
ation, or any condition which might re-
sult in excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.
EAU00444
0 ~ 150 km
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to
10 minutes after every hour of opera-
tion. 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.
EC000056
CAUTION:
After 1,000 km of operation, be sure
to replace the engine oil, oil filter
and final gear oil.

ECA00010
CAUTION:
lAvoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If you do use such
products for hard-to-remove
dirt, do not leave it on any long-
er than instructed, then thor-
oughly rinse it off with water,
immediately dry the area and
apply a corrosion protection
spray.
lImproper 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.
lDo 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 abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.
lDo not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas: seals (of wheel bearings,
swingarm bearings, forks and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
lFor motorcycles equipped with
a windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure they do not
leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quali-
ty plastic polishing compound
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 corro-
sive 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.)
