Operation
27
Initial Engine Run-In
When your engine is new or when you have installed
new engine components, it is very important to follow
this run-in procedure. During this period, each part within
the engine will obtain proper operating tolerances.
Following this procedure will maximize engine life.
CAUTION
During the first 500 miles of operation, avoid wide-open
throttle operation or any operation that may cause high
engine temperatures.
0 - 100 miles
Avoid opening the throttle beyond 1/2 throttle. Cool
down the engine for 10 minutes, after every 30 minutes
of operation. Do not operate at a constant speed;
change your speed regularly.
100 - 300 miles
Avoid opening the throttle beyond 1/2 throttle for
extended periods of time. Do not open throttle beyond
3/4 throttle.
300 - 500 miles
Avoid opening the throttle beyond 3/4 throttle.
Over 500 miles
Avoid long periods of wide-open throttle operation.
Engine Life
Your engine life is highly dependent upon how you operate
and maintain your vehicle.
Your scooter is equipped with a CVT transmission and your
engine will operate at maximum RPM when you are at
maximum speed at wide-open throttle.
If you operate your scooter at maximum RPM for a long
period, you will damage your engine. This is not
considered normal operation.
Keep your maximum speed operation to short periods of
time. If you are travelling a longer distance, slow or stop your
vehicle regularly to allow the engine to cool.
The quality of oil that you use in your vehicle will also
determine longevity. Please reference the Engine Oil
section in this manual for the proper specification
.
