Running-in

Help assure your motorcycle's future reliability and
performance by paying extra attention to how you ride
during the first 500 km (300 miles).
During this period, avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.

Riding

Review Motorcycle Safety (pages 9 – 12) before you ride.
1. After the engine has been warmed up, the
motorcycle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever and
depress the gearshift pedal to shift into 1st (low) gear.
3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time
gradually increase engine speed by opening the
throttle. Coordination of the throttle and clutch lever
will assure a smooth positive start.
4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed,
close the throttle, pull in the clutch lever and shift
to 2nd gear by raising the gearshift pedal.
This sequence is repeated to progressively shift to
3rd, 4th and 5th (top) gears.
5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for smooth
deceleration.
6. Both front and rear brakes should be used at the
same time and should not be applied strongly enough
to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will be
reduced and control of the motorcycle will be difficult.
