INFO
5. Run the engine at idle or slightly higher
until it warms up: this usually takes about
one or two minutes.
6. The engine is warmed up when it
responds normally to the throttle with the
starter knob (CHOKE) turned off.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start by pushing the start
switch, release the switch, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine more than
10 seconds on any one attempt. If the engine
does not start with the starter motor, try using
the kickstarter.
CAUTION:
Do not warm up the engine for extended
periods.
EC193001
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
Do not operate the starter knob (CHOKE).
Open the throttle slightly and start the engine by
kicking the kickstater forcefully with firm stroke.
CAUTION:
Observe the following break-in procedures
during initial operation to ensure optimum
performance and avoid engine damage.
BREAK-IN
Break-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 or before each ride, you
must check the entire machine for loose fit-
tings and fasteners as per “TORQUE-
CHECK POINTS”.
Tighten all such fasteners as required.

brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change
the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
