AUTION:● Do not coast for long periods

with the engine off, and do nottow the motorcycle a long dis-tance. Even with gears in neu-tral, the transmission is onlyproperly lubricated when theengine is running. Inadequatelubrication may damage thetransmission.

● Always use the clutch whenchanging gears. The engine,transmission, and driveline arenot designed to withstand theshock of forced shifting and canbe damaged by shifting withoutusing the clutch.

Tips for reducing fuel consumptionYour motorcycle’s fuel consumptiondepends to a large extent on yourriding style. The following tips can helpreduce fuel consumption:

● Warm up the engine before riding.● Turn off the starter (choke) as

soon as possible.● Shift up swiftly and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.● Do not double-clutch or rev the en-

gine while shifting down and avoidhigh engine speeds with no loadon the engine.

● Turn off the engine instead of let-ting it idle for an extended lengthof time, i.e. in traffic jams, at trafficlights or railroad crossings.

Drive chain lubricationThe chain consists of many parts whichwork with each other. If the chain is notmaintained properly, it will wear outquickly. Therefore, the chain must beserviced regularly. This service is es-pecially necessary when riding in dustyareas. This motorcycle is equippedwith a sealed type chain. Steam clean-ing, high-pressure washers, and sol-vents can damage the drive chain, sodo not use these for cleaning it. Useonly kerosene to clean the drive chain.Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate itwith SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do notuse any other lubricants on the drivechain. They may contain solvents thatcould damage the sealed chain.
