CONTROL FUNCTIONS
“ENGINE STOP” SWITCH
Make sure that the engine stop switch
1
is
positioned to “ ”. The engine stop switch has
been equipped to ensure safety in an emer-
gency such when the machine is up set or
trouble takes place in the throttle system. The
engine will not start or run when the engine
stop switch is turned to “ ”.
SHIFT PEDAL
The gear ratios of the constant-mesh 3 speed
transmission are ideally spaced. The gears
can be shifted by using the shift pedal
1
on
the left side of the engine.
WARNING

When starting out on the machine, shift the
transmission into 1st after pulling in the
front brake lever and closing the throttle
grip.

FRONT BRAKE LEVER
The front brake lever
1
is located on the right
handlebar. Pull it toward the handlebar to acti-
vate the front brake.
EC157000
REAR BRAKE PEDAL
The rear brake pedal
1
is located on the right
side of the machine. Press down on the brake
pedal to activate the rear brake.
FUEL COCK
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to
carburetor while filtering the fuel. The fuel cock
has the three positions:
OFF: With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to this
position when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
RES: This indicates reserve. If you run out of
fuel while riding, move the lever to this
position. FILL THE TANK AT THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY. BE SURE TO
SET THE LEVER TO “ON” AFTER
REFUELING.
STARTER LEVER (CHOKE)
When cold, the engine requires a richer air/fuel
mixture for starting. A separate starter circuit,
which is controlled by the starter lever
1
, sup-
plies this mixture.
Pull the lever out to open the circuit (for start-
ing) and push the lever in to close the circuit.

STARTING AND OPERATION
STARTING AND OPERATION
CAUTION:
Prior to operating the machine, perform
steps listed in pre-operation check list.
WARNING
Never start your engine or let it run for any
length of time in a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short
time. Always operate your machine in an
area with adequate ventilation.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
WARNING
Before starting the engine, be sure to shift
the transmission into neutral.
1. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
2. Operate the starter (choke) and com-
pletely close the throttle grip.
3. Slide the “ENGINE STOP” switch to the
“”.
4. Kick the kick starter with full strength to
start the engine.
5. After the engine starts, warm up for one
or two minutes. Make sure the stater
(choke) is returned to the original position
before riding.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
To start a warm engine, refer to the “Starting a
cold engine” section. The starter (choke)
should not be used. The throttle should be
opened slightly.
CAUTION:
See “Engine break-in Section” prior to
operating engine for the first time.WARMING UP
To get maximum engine life, always “warm-up”
the engine before starting off. Never acceler-
ate hard with a cold engine! To see whether or
not the engine is warm, see if it responds to
throttle normally with the stater (choke) turned
off.
WARNING
Before starting off, be sure to turn up or
remove the side stand.
Failure to retract the side stand completely
can result in a serious accident when you
try to turn a corner.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Brake-in is important to better fit the moving
and sliding parts as well as the installed parts.
It is also important to accustom the rider to the
machine better.
Avoid full-throttle run on a new machine for the
first 5 hours.
After the trial run, check for loose parts, oil
leakage and other problems.
Make full inspection and adjustment especially
of slack cables and drive chain and loose
spokes.
CAUTION:
After the break-in period, check every fit-
ting and fastener for looseness.
If any loose is found, retighten it securely.
