Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your Motorcycle's fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your
riding style. The following tips can
help reduce fuel consumption:
1. Warm up the engine before riding.
2. Move the starter Lever to "Off" as
soon as possible.
3. Shift up swiftly and avoid high
e n g i n e s p e e d s
acceleration.
4. Do not double-clutch or rev the
engine while shifting down and
avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
5. Turn off the engine instead of
letting it idle for an extended
length of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or rail- road crossings.
6. Do not drive with excessive load
on the Motorcycle.
7. Plan your route in advance.

Running-in

There is never a more important
period in the life of your Motorcycle
d u r i n g
than the period between zero and
1,000 km. For this reason we ask that
you carefully read the following
material. Because the engine is brand
new, you must not put an excessive
load on it for the first 1,000 km. The
various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct
operating clearances. During this
period, prolonged full throttle
operation, or any condition which
might result in excessive heating of
the engine, must be avoided.
