Make sure all caps are properly adjusted.
WARNING*: Don’t remove radiator cap when
hot!
2.
Check all controls
A. Throttle handgrip
B. Clutch lever
Make sure cables are not damaged and turn smoothly.

rous damage or a severe accident.
RUNNING IN
To obtain the best settling of the engine moving elements, for
driving your motorcycle to the best of your capability, run in the
engine for several hours, following these procedures:
1. FROM STOP POSITION. Start the engine and run at idle, but
open the throttle periodically and briefly until the engine is tho-
roughly warmed up. Within 3-4 minutes the coolant temperature
will have reached approximately 60° C/140° F. (Do not ride
the motorcycle).
2. Stop the engine, and let it cool down naturally until its tem-
perature is equal to the ambient air temperature. This will allow
the piston to align itself to any imperfections which might exist
at the cylinder wall.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2. (Do not ride the motorcycle).
4. Bring the engine up to normal running temperature. Ride the
motorcycle approximately 10 minutes at moderate speeds. Then
repeat cool down procedure.AVOID HARD ACCElERATIONS
.
5. Bring engine up to normal temperature. Ride motorcycle
approximately 15 minutes at moderate to high speeds. Again
avoid hard accelerations.
6.Repeat cool down procedure.
7. Full throttle operation must be avoided until the engine has
reached operating temperature, even after the break in process
is completed. When the above procedure is followed correctly,
engine durability and performance will be greatly enhanced.
CHECKS WHILE RUNNING IN
When running in, the following should be checked out:
- WHEElS SPOKES TENSION;
- TIGHTENING OF WHEElS
- FORK PIN TIGHTENING
- CHAIN ADJUSTMENT;
- STEERING BEARING PlAY;
- HANDlEBAR TIGHTENING
- ENGINE GRIP TO FRAME
- SUCTION FITTING GRIP
- HEAD AND CYlINDER NUTS GRIP
Note*: After break in, install a new spark
plug and change the transmission oil.
