INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE MOTORCY-
CLE
NOTE*: If you are not familiar with op-
erating a motorcycle, read the instruc-
tions in the "CONTROLS" section before
riding this motorcycle.
PRE-RIDE CHECKS
Any time you ride your motorcycle, make a general in-
spection first and proceed to check the following:
- check fuel level and engine oil level;
- check brake fluid level;
- check the steering by turning the handlebar both ways,
fully home;
- check the tyre pressure;
- check the chain tension;
- check the throttle control and adjust it, if necessary;
- turn the ignition switch to ON position: check dashboard
display lighting;
- check that parking lights, low beam and high beam
come on, as well as the relevant warning light;
- operate the turning indicators and check that the warn-
ing light comes on;
- check if the rear stop light is functioning.
Running the engine in correctly is essential for ensuring
engine longevity and functionality.
Bendy roads and gradients are ideal for running in the
engine, brakes and suspension effectively.
Vary your riding speed during the running in period.
This ensures that components operate in "loaded" con-
ditions and then "unloaded" conditions, allowing the
engine components to cool.
Although it is important to stretch engine components
during run-in, make sure you do not overdo it.
Optimum performance during accelera-
tion is only obtained after the first 1000
km (625 mi) of running in.
Follow these guidelines:
do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine
speeds, either during or after the running in period.
During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently,
avoiding sudden or prolonged braking.
This allows the brake pad friction material to bed in cor-
rectly with the brake discs.
During the first 1000 km (625 miles), never exceed 7000
rpm (see table).
After the first 1000 km (625 mi), have
the checks indicated in the Scheduled
Maintenance Chart performed to avoid
causing injury to yourself or others and
/or damage to the vehicle.
After 1000 km (625 miles) you can expect better engine
performance but without exceeding the maximum rpm
allowed (9000 rpm).
