CHECKS BEFORE AND AFTER USE

For safe driving and long vehicle life you should:
1 Check all fluid levels.
2 Check the correct operation of the brakes and brake pad wear (page 60).
3 Check pressure, general condition and thickness of tread (page 68).
4 Check that the spokes are properly tightened.
5 Check the tensioning of the chain (page 69).
6 Check the adjustment and the operation of all the cable controls.
7 Inspect all the nuts and bolts.
8 With the engine running, check the operation of the headlight, the rear and brake
lights, the indicators, the warning lights and the horn.
9 Wash the motorcycle thoroughly after off-road use (page 72).

RUNNING IN

The running-in period lasts approximately 5 hours, during which it is advisable to:
1 Make the first refuelling with a mixture of 3%.
2 Use the oil indicated on page 16 in the "Recommended lubricants and liquids" table.
3 During the first 3 hours of operation the engine should only be used to approxi-
mately 70 percent of its power. In addition, the engine speed should not exceed
11,000 rpm.
4 For the next 2 hours of operation the engine should only be used to about 90
percent of its power.
5 Use the vehicle after properly warming up the engine.
6 Avoid travelling at constant speed (changing the speed causes the different com-
ponents to bed in evenly and more quickly).
This procedure should be followed each time piston, piston rings, cylinder, crankshaft
or crankshaft bearings are replaced.
WARNING
Replace the transmission oil after the first 3 hours or after 15 l. of mixture.
