INFORMATION:
Standard TM motorcycles are not equipped with radiator cooling fans and the radiator dimensions are designed for optimum compactness
and weight. The cooling system is sufficient for tourist or sport use.
Consult a TM dealer if you want to use optional cooling fans.
WARNING
- Using the engine at high revs when it is still cold affects the length of engine life. Therefore, before running the engine at full speed, warm
it up by driving a few kilometers at medium speed. The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the radiators become
hot.
- Never down shift without having first slowed down. The engine revs would go too high and some of its components could be damaged.
Also, the rear wheel could lock, causing you to lose control of the vehicle.
- If you feel abnormal vibrations while driving, make sure that the fixing screws on the motorcycle are fully tightened.
- If you hear strange noises while riding your motorcycle, stop immediately, turn off the engine and contact a TM dealer.
STOPPING AND PARKING
With the throttle fully released, brake the motorcycle until it stops while
pulling the clutch lever. Shift into neutral and release the clutch. Keeping
the engine at idle speed, press button (1) (EN), button (2) (MX / SMK) or
turn the key (3) (SMR / SMM) to the “
” position to stop the engine.
We recommend leaving the red engine start prevention button (4) (EN)
pressed in until the next engine start.
Park the motorcycle on solid ground and engage the steering lock, if present.
DANGER
DURING OPERATION, MOTORCYCLES PRODUCE A LOT OF HEAT. THE
ENGINE, RADIATORS, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKE DISCS, AS WELL AS
SHOCK ABSORBERS, CAN ALL BECOME VERY HOT. NEVER TOUCH THESE
PARTS WHEN DRIVING AND AFTER SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE. PARK
THE MOTORCYCLE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO PREVENT PEDESTRIANS FROM
TOUCHING IT AND BURNING THEMSELVES.
WARNING
- Never park with the engine running or park where there is a risk of fire
due to dry grass or other easily flammable material.
