General Information
Both during and after breaking-in has been
completed:
• Do not over-rev the engine when
cold.
• Do not lug the engine. Always
downshift before the engine begins
to 'struggle'.
• Do not ride with engine speeds
unnecessarily high. Shifting up a
gear helps reduce fuel consumption,
reduces noise and helps to protect
the environment.
Safe Operation

return the motorcycle to a safe operating
condition.

, tire/wheel damage and loose/
broken spokes, punctures etc. (page

Failure to perform these checks every day
before you ride, or operation of the

areas below, may result in serious
motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
