ENGINE OIL

Be sure the engine oil you use comes under API classification of
SF or SG and that its viscosity rating is SAE 40. If an SAE 40
motor oil is not available, select an alternate according to the right
chart
BRAKE FLUID
Specification and classification: DOT 4
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluidby the manu-
facturer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluid for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long
period.

FRONT FORK OIL

Use fork oil # 10.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to "BREAK-IN" before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to this break-in throttle position. Initial 500 km: less than ½ throttle Up to 1,600 km: Less than ¾
throttle
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1,600 km you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation
for short periods of time.
