Flooded Engine
If
the engine fails
to
start
after repeated
attempts,
it
may be flooded with excess
fuel.
To
clear a flooded engine, turn the
ignition switch
OFF
and push the
choke knob down
to
Fully Open (B).
Open the throttle fully and crank the
engine several times with the kickstarter.
Turn the ignition switch ON and
follow the
"High Air Temperature" Start-
ing Procedure.
BREAK-IN
During
the
first
600
miles (
1,000
km),
do
not
operate the motorcycle
at
more
than
80%
of
the
maximum speed in
any
gear.
Avoid full
throttle
operation, and
do
not
operate
for
a long time
at
one
speed.
During initial break-in, newly machined
surfaces
will
be in
contact
with each
other
and these surfaces will wear
in
quickly. Break-in Maintenance
at
600
miles ( 1,000
km)
is designed
to
com-
pensate
for
this initial minor . wear.
Timely performance
of
the
break-in main-
tenance
will
ensure optimum service life
and performance from
the
engine.
