Turn the starter (choke) off as

soon as possible.
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.
Do not rev the engine while shifting

down, and avoid high engine

Turn the engine off instead of let-

ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
Avoid prolonged
1/3 throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to ten
minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.
150–500 km (90–300 mi)

Avoid
1/2 throttle.
Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle at any
time.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid
3/4 throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km

sion oil must be changed.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
