Tips For Reducing Fuel Consumption; Engine Break-In - Yamaha Versity VP300 Owner's Manual

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
•
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
•
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
•
Turn the engine off instead of
letting 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 1,600 km. For this
reason, you should read the following
material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,600 km. The various parts in the
engine wear and polish themselves to
the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating must
be avoided.

to replace the engine oil and final

CAUTION:
If any engine trouble should occur
