MISE EN MARCHE ET RODAGE
ANLASSEN UND EINFAHREN
ARRANQUE Y RODAJE
PROCEDURE DE RODAGE
1. Avant de mettre le moteur en
marche, faire le plein d’essence.
2. Effectuer les contrôles avant utili-
sation de la machine.
3. Lancer le moteur et le laisser se
réchauffer. Vérifier le régime de
ralenti, le fonctionnement des
commandes et l’efficacité du bou-
ton d’arrêt du moteur “ENGINE
STOP”. Remettre ensuite le
moteur en marche et vérifier son
fonctionnement dans les 5 minutes
maximum.
4. Piloter la machine sur les rapports
inférieurs et à régime modéré
durant les cinq à huit premières
minutes. S’arrêter et vérifier l’état
de la bougie; elle devrait donner
des indices de richesse durant le
rodage.
5. Vérifier le fonctionnement du
moteur à une ouverture des gaz
de 1/4 à 1/2 (petite à moyenne
vitesse) pendant environ 1 heure.
6. Remettre le moteur en marche et
vérifier son fonctionnement à
tous les régimes. Arrêter et véri-
fier la bougie. Relancer le moteur
et piloter la machine pendant 10 à
15 minutes supplémentaires. Elle
sera alors prête pour la course.
ATTENTION:
lAprès le rodage ou avant chaque
course, il faut vérifier toutes les fixa-
tions et serrages comme indiqué
dans “POINTS DE VERIFICA-
TION DE COUPLE DE SER-
RAGE”.
Serrer toutes ces fixations comme
requis.
lAprès avoir remplacé les pièces sui-
vantes, un nouveau rodage est
nécessaire.
CYLINDRE ET VILEBREQUIN:
Une heure environ de rodage est
nécessaire.
PISTONS, SEGMENTS, SOUPAPES,
ARBRES A CAMES
Ces pièces nécessitent un rodage de
30 minutes environ à une ouverture
des gaz de maximum 1/2. Surveiller
attentivement l’état du moteur pen-
dant la marche.
1 - 16PROCEDIMIENTOS DE RODAJE
1. Antes de arrancar el motor, llene
el depósito de combustible.
2. Realice las comprobaciones en el
vehículo previas a la conducción.
3. Arranque y deje que se caliente el
motor. Compruebe la velocidad
de ralentí, el funcionamiento de
los controles y el botón de parada
del motor “ENGINE STOP”. A
continuación, arranque nueva-
mente el motor y compruebe su
funcionamiento durante 5 minu-
tos como máximo después de
haberlo arrancado.
4. Maneje el vehículo en las mar-
chas inferiores y modere las aber-
turas del acelerador durante cinco
u ocho minutos.
5. Compruebe cómo funciona el
motor cuando maneje la motoci-
cleta con el acelerador 1/4 a _
abierto (velocidad baja a mode-
rada) durante una hora aproxima-
damente.
6. Arranque el motor otra vez y
compruebe el funcionamiento del
vehículo en toda su gama de fun-
cionamiento. Arranque el motor y
maneje el vehículo durante otros
10 a 15 minutos. El vehículo ya
está preparado para la carrera.
PRECAUCION:
lDespués del rodaje o antes de cada
carrera, debe comprobar en todo el
vehículo la existencia de acopla-
mientos y remaches flojos así como
“TORSIONES-PUNTOS DE COM-
PROBACIÓN”.
En caso necesario, apriete todos los
remaches.
lCuando haya sustituido cualquiera
de las siguientes piezas, éstas deben
ser sometidas al rodaje.
CILINDRO Y CIGÜEÑAL:
Es necesario realizar aproximada-
mente una hora de conducción de
rodaje.
PISTÓN, ANILLO, VÁLVULAS,
ÁRBOLES DE LEVAS Y ENGRA-
NAJES:
Estas piezas requieren alrededor de
30 minutos de funcionamiento de
rodaje con el acelerador a la mitad o
inferior. Observe el estado del
motor cuidadosamente durante el
funcionamiento del mismo.

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning of your machine will
enhance its appearance, maintain good overall
performance, and extend the life of many com-
ponents.
1. Before washing the machine, block off
the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent
water from entering. A plastic bag
secured with a rubber band may be used
for this purpose.
2. If the engine is excessively greasy, apply
some degreaser to it with a paint brush.
Do not apply degreaser to the chain,
sprockets, or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose; use only enough pressure
to do the job.
CAUTION:
Excessive hose pressure may cause water
seepage and contamination of wheel bear-
ings, front forks, brakes and transmission
seals. Many expensive repair bills have
resulted from improper high pressure
detergent applications such as those avail-
able in coin-operated car washers.
4. After the majority of the dirt has been
hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and a mild detergent. Use an old
toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places.
5. Rinse the machine off immediately with
clean water, and dry all surfaces with a
soft towel or cloth.
6. Immediately after washing, remove
excess water from the chain with a paper
towel and lubricate the chain to prevent rust.
7. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the cover pliable and
glossy.
8. Automotive wax may be applied to all
painted or chromed surfaces. Avoid com-
bination cleaner-waxes, as they may con-
tain abrasives.
9. After completing the above, start the
engine and allow it to idle for several min-
utes.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EC182001
STORAGE
If your machine is to be stored for 60 days or
more, some preventive measures must be
taken to avoid deterioration. After cleaning the
machine thoroughly, prepare it for storage as
follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the car-
buretor float bowl.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour a table-
spoon of SAE 10W-30 motor oil in the
spark plug hole, and reinstall the plug.
With the engine stop switch pushed in,
kick the engine over several times to coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Remove the drive chain, clean it thor-
oughly with solvent, and lubricate it. Rein-
stall the chain or store it in a plastic bag
tied to the frame.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block the frame up to raise the wheels off
the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
7. If the machine is to be stored in a humid
or salt-air environment, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a film of light oil. Do
not apply oil to rubber parts or the seat
cover.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before the
machine is stored.
