2. Perform the pre-operation checks on the
machine.
3. Start and warm up the engine. Check the
operation of the controls and check that the
engine comes to a stop when moving the
main switch to “OFF”.
NOTE:
During break-in, mask part of the radiator core
so that the water temperature is 55 ~ 65˚C
(131 ~ 149˚F).
4. Operate the machine under 8,000 r/min
and run on a course about 10 km (6 miles).
While making a straight-line run, open the
throttle from time to time, taking care not to
exceed the revolution limit.
5. Go back to the pit to check for looseness,
leakage, and other failures in installation.
6. Next, operate the machine under 9,000
r/min and run about 10 km (6 miles).
(While running in this way, get an idea of
the riding position and approximate set-
tings.)
7. Go back to the pit again, check the
machine fully for looseness, leakage, and
other failures in installation, especially for
loose cables and wires, excessive brake
free play, and a chain slack. Also make
adjustment for a riding position according
to your preference.
