OPERATION
Break-In Period
The first tank of fuel must be pre-mixed according to the following
instructions. After the break-in period, the oil injection system will
provide the necessary engine lubrication without pre-mixing.
1. Premix the recommended oil with gasoline in a suitable gas
container. Refer to the chart below for ratios.
2. Fill the fuel tank (see page 43), then fill the oil tank with the
recommended oil.
3. Drive slowly at first. Vary the throttle positions.
4. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls, and areas outlined
on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist on page 50.
After the first tank of pre-mixed fuel has been used, verify that the oil
level in the oil tank has dropped, indicating that the oil pump is
functioning properly. If the level has not dropped, see your dealer for
oil pump bleeding and repeat the pre-mix procedure.
