consumption

Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
G Turn the starter (choke) off as
soon as possible.
G
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
G Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.
G
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 1600 km (1000 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
1600 km (1000 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.
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
1600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
