Braking; Tips For Reducing Fuel Consumption; Engine Break-In - Yamaha XC125RR Owner's Manual

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

Braking

WARNING
1

Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
2
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.
3

Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
4
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
5
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
6
tion.

Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
7

Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
8
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
9
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
EWA10301
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 let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).

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 operation above 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.
