Break-In Period
Perform the following break-in and maintenance procedures carefully.
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always
exercise extreme caution whenever han-
dling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. Add the recom-
mended oil as needed to maintain the oil
level in the proper range. See page 99.
3. Allow the engine sufficient time to
warm up before operating.
4. Drive slowly at first. Select an open
area that allows room to familiarize
yourself with vehicle operation and
handling.
5. Excessive heat build-up during the first
three hours of operation will damage
close-fitted engine parts. Do not allow
engine speed to exceed 7000 RPM dur-
ing the first three hours of use.
6. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate
at sustained idle.
7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels,
controls and areas outlined on the daily
pre-ride inspection checklist. See page
60.
8. At the end of the break-in period (3
hours), change the engine oil and the
long and short oil filters. See page 100.
