STARTING AND OPERATION
STARTING AND OPERATION
CAUTION:
Prior to operating the machine, perform
steps listed in pre-operation check list.
WARNING
Never start your engine or let it run for any
length of time in a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short
time. Always operate your machine in an
area with adequate ventilation.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
WARNING
Before starting the engine, be sure to shift
the transmission into neutral.
1. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
2. Operate the starter (choke) and com-
pletely close the throttle grip.
3. Slide the “ENGINE STOP” switch to the
“”.
4. Kick the kick starter with full strength to
start the engine.
5. After the engine starts, warm up for one
or two minutes. Make sure the stater
(choke) is returned to the original position
before riding.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
To start a warm engine, refer to the “Starting a
cold engine” section. The starter (choke)
should not be used. The throttle should be
opened slightly.
CAUTION:
See “Break-in Section” prior to operating
engine for the first time.WARMING UP
To get maximum engine life, always “warm-up”
the engine before starting off. Never acceler-
ate hard with a cold engine! To see whether or
not the engine is warm, see if it responds to
throttle normally with the stater (choke) turned
off.
WARNING
Before starting off, be sure to turn up or
remove the side stand.
Failure to retract the side stand completely
can result in a serious accident when you
try to turn a corner.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
1. Prior to starting, fill fuel tank with gasoline
and oil tank with specified oil.
2. Allow engine to warm up. Check engine
idling speed. Check operating controls
and engine stop switch operation.
3. Operate machine in lower gears at mod-
erate throttle setting for 3 ~ 5 minutes.
Check spark plug condition.
4. Allow engine to cool. Repeat procedure,
running for 5 minutes. Very briefly, shift to
higher gears and check full throttle
response. Check spark plug condition.
5. Allow engine to cool. Repeat procedure,
running for 5 minutes. Full throttle and
higher gears may be used, but avoid sus-
tained full throttle operation. Check spark
plug condition.
6. Allow engine to cool. Remove top end and
inspect. Remove “high” spots on piston
with No.600 grit, wet sandpaper.
Clean, and carefully reassemble.
7. Check entire unit for loose or misadjusted
fittings/controls/fasteners.
8. Re-start engine and check through entire
operating range thoroughly. Stop. Check
spark plug condition. Re-start. After 10 ~
15 minutes operation, machine is ready
to ride.
CAUTION:
After the break-in period, check every fit-
ting and fastener for looseness.
If any loose is found, retighten it securely.

AIR FILTER CLEANING
NOTE:

Proper air filter maintenance is the biggest key
to preventing premature engine wear and
damage.
CAUTION:

Never run the engine without the air filter
element in place; this would allow dirt and
dust to enter the engine and cause rapid
wear and possible engine damage.Throttle grip free play adjustment steps:
Turning in: Free play is increased.
Turning out: Free play is decreased.
l
Tighten the locknuts.
NOTE:
Before adjusting the throttle cable free play,
the engine idle speed should be adjusted.
lLoosen the locknut 1 on throttle cable.
lTurn the adjuster 2 in or out until the
specified free play is obtained.
WARNING
After adjusting, turn the handlebar to
right and left and make sure that the
engine idling does not run faster.
