Starting in Extremely Cold Weather
Prime the engine before starting by cranking the engine several times with the kick starter. The ignition
switch should be OFF, the choke lever Fully ON (A) and the throttle opened slightly.
Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start after several repeated attempts, it may have become flooded with excess
fuel. To clear the engine, turn off the engine stop switch and lower the choke lever to Fully OFF (B).
Open the throttle fully and crank the engine several times with the kick starter. Turn the engine stop
switch to RUN and open the throttle slightly; start the engine using the kick starter.
RUNNING-IN
During the first 1,000 km ( 600 miles ) , do not operate the motorcycle at more than 80 % of the
maximum speed in any gear. A void full throttle operation, and do not operate for a long time at one
speed. During initial running in, newly machined surfaces will be in contact with each other and these
surfaces will wear in quickly. Running-in Maintenance at 1,000 km ( 600 miles ) is designed to
compensate for this initial minor wear. Timely performance of the running-in maintenance will ensure
optimum service life and performance from the engine.
MAINTENANCE
•

best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. The scheduled maintenance may also be
performed by a qualified service facility that normally does this kind of work; or you may
perform most of the work yourself it you are mechanically qualified and have the proper tools
and service data.

its designed purpose. Sustained high speed operation, or operation in unusually wet or dusty
conditions, will require more frequent service than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
