QUICK START GUIDE
2006 MASTIFF
GENERAL INFORMATION

shifting characteristics of your new motorcycle at a low speed and in a familiar environment.
NOTE:
BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A BAKER SIX-SPEED DIRECT DRIVE
TRANSMISSION. WHEN SHIFTING GEARS EITHER UP OR DOWN, THE THROTTLE SHOULD BE
CLOSED AND THE CLUTCH DISENGAGED. SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST BE GIVEN WHEN
OPERATING IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, AS IT IS VERY EASY TO EXCEED ENGINE MAXIMUM
RPM DURING ACCELERATION.
NOTE:
DURING THE INITIAL BREAK IN PERIOD, THE MOTORCYCLE SHOULD NOT BE RUN
FOR LONG PERIODS AT A CONSTANT RPM. VARYING THE RPM WILL HELP THE ENGINE
DURING THIS CRUCIAL PERIOD AND PROLONG ENGINE LIFE.
This QUICK START GUIDE was designed to familiarize the owner with operating their
new motorcycle. For any additional questions regarding the operation of the motorcycle,
contact the nearest Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service Center.
