4. When transporting the machine in
another vehicle, be sure is kept
upright and that the fuel cock is
turned to the “OFF”. If it should lean
over, gasoline may leak out of the car-
buretor or fuel tank.
5. Never start your engine or let it run for
any length of time in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes are poisonous and
may cause loss of consciousness and
death within a short time. Always
operate your machine in an area with
adequate ventilation.
6. Always wear a helmet, gloves, boots,
trousers, and jacket for motocross
riding.

INFO
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.
NOTE:
This model is equipped with an ignition cir-
cuit cut-off system. In case of electric start-
ing, the engine can be started only when the
transmission is in neutral.
If the engine fails to start by pushing the start
switch, release the switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each starting
attempt should be as short as possible to
preserve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start with the
starter motor, try using the kickstarter.
1. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
2. Turn the main switch to “ON”.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
4. Operate the starter (choke) and com-
pletely close the throttle grip.
5. Start the engine by pushing the start
switch or by kicking the kickstarter.
6. 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 “Engine 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
Brake-in is important to better fit the moving
and sliding parts as well as the installed parts.
It is also important to accustom the rider to the
machine better.
Avoid full-throttle run on a new machine for the
first 5 hours.
After the trial run, check for loose parts, oil
leakage and other problems.
Make full inspection and adjustment especially
of slack cables and drive chain and loose
spokes.
CAUTION:
After the break-in period, check every fit-
ting and fastener for looseness.
If any loose is found, retighten it securely.

GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
This chart specifies torque for standard fasten-

specifications for special components or
assemblies are included in the applicable sec-
tions of this book. To avoid warpage, tighten
multi-fastener assemblies in a crisscross fash-
ion, in progressive stages, until full torque is
reached. Unless otherwise specified, torque
specifications call for clean, dry threads. Com-
ponents should be at room temperature.
