“ENGINE STOP” BUTTON
The “ENGINE STOP” button 1 is located on
the left handlebar. Continue pushing the
“ENGINE STOP” button till the engine comes
to a stop.

The clutch lever 1 is located on the left han-
dlebar; it disengages or engages the clutch.
Pull the clutch lever to the handlebar to disen-
gage the clutch, and release the lever to
engage the clutch. The lever should be pulled
rapidly and released slowly for smooth starts.
EC153000
SHIFT PEDAL
The gear ratios of the constant-mesh 4 speed
transmission are ideally spaced. The gears
can be shifted by using the shift pedal 1 on
the left side of the engine.
EC154000
KICK STARTER
Rotate the kick starter 1 away from the
engine. Push the starter down lightly with your
foot until the gears engage, then kick smoothly
and forcefully to start the engine. This model
has a primary kick starter so the engine can be
started in any gear if the clutch is disengaged.
In normal practices, however, shift to neutral
before starting.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
1. Before starting the engine, fill the fuel tank
with the fuel.
2. Perform the pre-operation checks on the
machine.
3. Start and warm up the engine. Check the
idle speed, and check the operation of the
controls and the “ENGINE STOP” button.
Then, restart the engine and check its
operation within no more than 5 minutes
after it is restarted.
4. Operate the machine in the lower gears at
moderate throttle openings for five to eight
minutes.
5. Check how the engine runs when the
machine is ridden with the throttle 1/4 to 1/
2 open (low to medium speed) for about
one hour.
6. Restart the engine and check the operation
of the machine throughout its entire operat-
ing range. Restart the machine and oper-
ate it for about 10 to 15 more minutes. The
machine will now be ready to race.
CAUTION:
After the break-in or before each race,
you must check the entire machine for
loose fittings and fasteners as per
“TORQUE-CHECK POINTS”.
Tighten all such fasteners as required.
When any of the following parts have
been replaced, they must be broken in.
CYLINDER AND CRANKSHAFT:
About one hour of break-in operation is
necessary.
PISTON, RING, VALVES, CAMSHAFTS
AND GEARS:
These parts require about 30 minutes of
break-in operation at half-throttle or less.
Observe the condition of the engine care-
fully during operation.
