EBU00207
To decelerate:
When slowing down or stopping, release
the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly
and evenly. As you slow down, shift to a
lower gear. Be sure that the engine has suf-
ficiently slowed before engaging a lower
gear. Improper use of the brakes or shifting
can cause the tires to lose traction, reduc-
ing control and increasing the possibility of
an accident.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Engaging a lower gear when the engine
speed is too high.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The wheels could stop rotating. This
could cause loss of control, an accident
and injury. It could also cause engine or
drive train damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
EBU00209
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in
the life of your machine than the period be-
tween zero and 20 hours.
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 several
hours of running. During the first 20 hours,
the various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might re-
sult in excessive engine heating must be
avoided. However, momentary (2 ~ 3 sec-
onds maximum) full throttle operation un-
der load does not harm the engine. Each
full throttle acceleration sequence should
be followed with a substantial rest period
for the engine by cruising at lower r/min so
the engine can rid itself of the temporary
build up of heat.
