is coated with a rust
inhibitor. Before riding the machine, thor-
oughly remove it using a lacquer thinner.

• LACQUER THINNER IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE.
Always turn off the engine while using
lacquer thinner. Take care not to spill any
lacquer thinner on the engine or exhaust
system.
Never use it in the vicinity of an open
flame, or while smoking.
• LACQUER THINNER CAN CAUSE INJURY.
Always use lacquer thinner in a well venti-
lated area. If you should swallow some
lacquer thinner, inhale excess lacquer
thinner vapors, or allow any lacquer thin-
ner to get into your eyes, contact a doctor
immediately.
NOTE:
• When the machine is not in use for a long
time, apply a rust inhibitor to the brake disc.
•After riding in the rainy weather, wipe the
moisture completely off the disc.
• If rust appears on the brake disc, carefully
remove it using #400 sand paper.
2. The cooling system is filled with coolant at
the factory to prevent rusting. Be sure to
replace coolant with soft water before rid-
ing.
CC CAUTION:
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine parts. You may use distilled water, if
you can’t get soft water.
