nen die Schraubverbindungen gemäß der
Tabelle “ANZUGSMOMENTE KONTROL-
LIEREN” auf festen Sitz prüfen und vor-
schriftsmäßig anziehen.
Nach der Erneuerung eines der folgenden
Teile muß die Maschine erneut eingefah-
ren werden.
- ZYLINDER UND KURBELWELLE
Etwa eine Stunde Einfahrzeit
- KOLBEN, KOLBENRINGE, VENTILE,
NOKKENWELLEN UND -RÄDER:
Etwa 30 Minuten Einfahrzeit bei oder un-
ter Halbgas (Sorgfältig den Motorbetrie-
büberprüfen.)
MISE EN MARCHE ET RODAGE
ANLASSEN UND EINFAHREN
PROCEDURE DE RODAGE
1. Avant de mettre le moteur en marche, faire le
plein d’essence.
2. Effectuer les contrôles avant utilisation de la
machine.
3. Lancer le moteur et le laisser se réchauffer.
Vérifier le régime de ralenti, le fonctionnement
des commandes et l’efficacité du bouton
d’arrêt du moteur “ENGINE STOP”. Remettre
ensuite le moteur en marche et vérifier son
fonctionnement dans les 5 minutes maximum.
4. Piloter la machine sur les rapports inférieurs
et à régime modéré durant les cinq à huit pre-
mières minutes. S’arrêter et vérifier l’état de
la bougie; elle devrait donner des indices de
richesse durant le rodage.
5. Vérifier le fonctionnement du moteur à une
ouverture des gaz de 1/4 à 1/2 (petite à
moyenne vitesse) pendant environ 1 heure.
6. Remettre le moteur en marche et vérifier son
fonctionnement à tous les régimes. Arrêter et
vérifier la bougie. Relancer le moteur et pilo-
ter la machine pendant 10 à 15 minutes sup-
plémentaires. Elle sera alors prête pour la
course.
ATTENTION:
Après le rodage ou avant chaque course, il faut
vérifier toutes les fixations et serrages comme
indiqué dans “POINTS DE VERIFICATION
DE COUPLE DE SERRAGE”.
Serrer toutes ces fixations comme requis.
Après avoir remplacé les pièces suivantes, un
nouveau rodage est nécessaire.
CYLINDRE ET VILEBREQUIN:
Une heure environ de rodage est nécessaire.
PISTONS, SEGMENTS, SOUPAPES, ARBRES
A CAMES:
Ces pièces nécessitent un rodage de 30 minutes
environ à une ouverture des gaz de maximum
1/2. Surveiller attentivement l’état du moteur
pendant la marche.

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning of your machine will
enhance its appearance, maintain good overall
performance, and extend the life of many com-
ponents.
1. Before washing the machine, block off
the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent
water from entering. A plastic bag
secured with a rubber band may be used
for this purpose.
2. If the engine is excessively greasy, apply
some degreaser to it with a paint brush.
Do not apply degreaser to the chain,
sprockets, or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose; use only enough pressure
to do the job.
CAUTION:
Excessive hose pressure may cause water
seepage and contamination of wheel bear-
ings, front forks, brakes and transmission
seals. Many expensive repair bills have
resulted from improper high pressure
detergent applications such as those avail-
able in coin-operated car washers.
4. After the majority of the dirt has been
hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and a mild detergent. Use an old
toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places.
5. Rinse the machine off immediately with
clean water, and dry all surfaces with a
soft towel or cloth.
6. Immediately after washing, remove
excess water from the chain with a paper
towel and lubricate the chain to prevent
rust.
7. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the cover pliable and
glossy.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
8. Automotive wax may be applied to all
painted or chromed surfaces. Avoid com-
bination cleaner-waxes, as they may con-
tain abrasives.
9. After completing the above, start the
engine and allow it to idle for several min-
utes.
EC1B2001
STORAGE
If your machine is to be stored for 60 days or
more, some preventive measures must be
taken to avoid deterioration. After cleaning the
machine thoroughly, prepare it for storage as
follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the
carburetor float bowl.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour a table-
spoon of SAE 10W-30 motor oil in the
spark plug hole, and reinstall the plug.
With the engine stop switch pushed in,
kick the engine over several times to coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Remove the drive chain, clean it thor-
oughly with solvent, and lubricate it.
Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic
bag tied to the frame.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block the frame up to raise the wheels off
the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
7. If the machine is to be stored in a humid
or salt-air environment, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a film of light oil. Do
not apply oil to rubber parts or the seat
cover.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before the
machine is stored.
