Important
Never
drive away at
high speed
when starting a run with a
cold
engine.
Give
the oil
a
chance
to warm up and thin out,
particularly
when the machine is
cold.
Until the oil
reaches its
normal running temperature
the circulation is
restricted. Seizures
can
be
avoided
by taking this simple
essential precaution.
Before leaving the machine, turn off the fuel supply.
STOPPING THE MACHINE
To stop the machine, close the throttle, declutch by lifting the large lever on the left
handlebar, and gently apply both brakes, increasing the pressure on them as the road
speed of the machine decreases. Place the gear change foot pedal in the neutral position
and stop the engine.
RUNNING IN
Although it is customary to quote permitted maximum speeds on the various gears
during the period of running in, these are really no guide to overdriving, the only essential
thing to avoid being the use of large throttle opening.
If the precaution is taken of limiting the use of the throttle to about one-third of Its
opening during the first 1,000 miles, irrespective of the road speed, and whether on the
level or climbing, the necessary conditions for running in will have been observed.
Special attention must be given, during the running in period, to such details as valve
rocker adjustment, chains, brakes, contact breaker points, and steering head bearings,
all of which tend to bed down in the first hundred miles or so. Particular note must be
made of the adjustment of steering head bearings, which, if run in a slack condition, will
be quickly ruined. After this bedding down process has taken place, adjustments to
such details will only be necessary at lengthy intervals.
After about 1,000 miles have been covered larger throttle openings may be gradually
indulged in for short bursts only.
Until at least 2,000 miles have been covered the owner of a new machine is strongly
advised to curb his natural desire to learn the mount's maximum capabilities. Restraint
in this direction will be amply repaid later.
