OPERATION
WARMING UP
To get maximum engine life, always warm up the engine
before starting off. Never accelerate hard with a cold
engine! To see whether or not the engine is warm, check if
it responds to the throttle normally with the starter (choke
knob) turned off.

ENGINE BRAKE-IN
There is never a more important period in the life of your
machine than the period between zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully read the
following material. Because the engine is brand new, you
must not put an excessive load on it for the first 20 hours,
the various parts in the engine wear and poli sh
themselves to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle operation or any
condition which might result in excessive engine heating
must be avoided.
However, momentary (2~3 seconds maximum) full throttle
operation under load does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence should be
followed with a substantial rest period for the engine by
cruising at lower r/min so the engine can rid itself of the
temporary build up of heat.
If any abnormality is noticed during this period, consult
our dealer.
