    Tips for reducing fuel

    consumptionYour motorcycles fuel consumption

    depends to a large extent on your

    riding style. The following tips can help

    reduce fuel consumption:

    q Warm up the engine before riding.

    q Turn off the starter (choke) as

    soon as possible.

    q Shift up swiftly and avoid high en-

    gine speeds during acceleration.

    q Do not double-clutch or rev the en-

    gine while shifting down and avoidhigh engine speeds with no load

    on the engine.

    q Turn off the engine instead of let-

    ting it idle for an extended length

    of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traffic

    Engine break-in

    There is never a more important periodin the life of your motorcycle 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 en-

    gine wear and polish themselves to the

    correct operating clearances. During

    this period, prolonged full throttle oper-

    ation, or any condition which might re-sult in excessive heating of the engine,

    must be avoided.

    EAU00444

    0 ~ 150 km

    Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.

    Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to

    10 minutes after every hour of opera-

    tion. Vary the speed of the motorcycle

    from time to time. Do not operate it at

    one set throttle position.

    CareThe exposure of its technology makes

    a motorcycle charming but also vulner-

    able. Although high-quality compo-

    nents are used, they are not all rust-

    resistant. While a rusty exhaust pipe

    may remain unnoticed on a car, it does

    look unattractive on a motorcycle. Fre-

    quent and proper care, however, will

    Before cleaning

    1. Cover up the muffler outlets with

    plastic bags.2. Make sure that all caps and covers

    as well as all electrical couplers

    and connectors, including the

    spark plug caps, are tightly in-

    stalled.

    3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,

    like oil burnt onto the crankcase,

    with a degreasing agent and a

    brush, but never apply such prod-

    ucts onto seals, gaskets and

    wheel axles. Always rinse the dirtand degreaser off with water.

    CAUTION:@

    q Avoid using strong acidic wheelcleaners, especially on spoked

    wheels. If you do use such

    products for hard-to-remove

    dirt, do not leave it on any long-

    er than instructed, then thor-

    oughly rinse it off with water,

    immediately dry the area and

    apply a corrosion protection

    spray.

    q Improper cleaning can damage

    windshields, cowlings, panelsand other plastic parts. Use

    only a soft, clean cloth or

    sponge with mild detergent and

    water to clean plastic.

    q Do not use any harsh chemical

    products on plastic parts. Be

    sure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been in

    contact with strong or abrasive

    cleaning products, solvent or

    thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-

    movers or inhibitors, brake flu-

    id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

    q Do not use high-pressure wash-

    ers or steam-jet cleaners since

    they cause water seepage and

    deterioration in the following ar-

    eas: seals (of wheel bearings,swingarm bearings, forks and

    brakes), electric components

    (couplers, connectors, instru-

    ments, switches and lights),

    1. Clean your motorcycle with cold

    water and soap after the engine

    has cooled down.ECA00012

    CAUTION:@

    Do not use warm water since it in-

    creases the corrosive action of the

    2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-

    tection spray on all (even chrome-

    and nickel-plated) metal surfaces

    to prevent corrosion.

    After cleaning

    1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

    or an absorbing cloth.2. Use a chrome polish to shine

    chrome, aluminum and stainless-

    steel parts, including the exhaust

    system. (Even the thermally in-

    duced discoloring of stainless-

    steel exhaust systems can be re-

    moved through polishing.)

    3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-

    mended to apply a corrosion pro-

    tection spray on all (even chrome-

    and nickel-plated) metal surfaces.4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-

    er to remove any remaining dirt.

    plugs on the cylinder head so that

    the electrodes are grounded. (This

    the tire air pressure, then raise the

    motorcycle so that both of its

    wheels are off the ground. Alterna-

    tively, turn the wheels a little every

    month in order to prevent the tires
