There is never a more important period in the life of your
motorcycle than the period 1.000Km. 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 several hours of running.
During this period, prolonged full throttle operation, or any
condition which might result in excessive heating of the
engine must be avoided.
1. 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
operation. Vary the speed of the motorcycle from time
to time. Do not operate it at one set throttle position. Your motorcycle’s fuel consumption depends to a large
extent on your riding style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption.
1. Warm up the engine before riding.
2. Turn off the starter lever as soon as possible.
3. Shift up swiftly and avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
4. Do not double-clutch or rev the engine while shifting down
and avoid high engine speeds with no load engine.
5. Turn off the engine instead of letting it idle for an extended
lenght of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traffic lights or railroad
crossings.Tips for reducing fuel consumption
