Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and 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 cross-
ings).
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

Engine break-in

There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the pe-
riod between 0 and 1,000 km (600 mi)
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 1,000 km (600 mi) The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.
5-3
0–500 km (0-300 mi)
0 - 500 km

Avoid prolonged operation above
5,000 r/min.
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 posi-
tion.
