Riding Information
Before riding
•Please Refer to Pre-Ride Checks section.
•Rider's equipment
Always ride with correctly fitting protective
clothing designed for use on a motorcycle. This
includes; Helmet; Eye protection; Gloves; Jacket;
Trousers; Boots. The law requires that you wear
an approved helmet and visor or eye protection.
•Speed
As your speed increases, always bear in mind that
there are many factors that can adversely affect
the handling of your motorcycle. These include
but are not limited to; Settings of the spring-strut
and shock-absorber system; Imbalanced load;
Loose clothing; Incorrect tyre pressures; Worn or
damaged tyres; Strong winds.
•Maximum speeds for tyres
The motorcycle's top speed might be higher than
the maximum speed permitted for the tyres.
Excessive speeds can damage the tyres, and this
could cause accidents.
Comply with the tyre-specific speed restrictions.
•Correct loading
Overloading and imbalanced loads can adversely
affect the motorcycle's handling.
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight and
be sure to comply with the instructions on
loading.
•Alcohol and drugs
Even small amounts of alcohol or drugs will
adversely affect your perception and your ability
to assess situations and make decisions and slow
down your reflexes. Medication can exacerbate
these effects.
Do not ride your motorcycle after consuming
alcohol, drugs and/or medication.
•Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
is colourless and odourless but highly toxic.
Inhaling the exhaust fumes therefore represents
a health hazard and can even cause loss of
consciousness with fatal consequences. Do not
inhale exhaust fumes. Do not run the engine in an
enclosed space.
•High voltage
Do not touch live parts of the ignition system
when the engine is running as this can cause
electric shock.
•Risk of fire
Temperatures at the exhaust are high. Flammable
materials (e.g. hay, leaves, grass, clothing and
luggage, etc.) could ignite if allowed to come into
contact with the hot exhaust pipe. Do not permit
flammable materials to come into contact with
the hot exhaust system.
Cooling would be inadequate if the engine were
allowed to idle for a lengthy period with the
motorcycle at a standstill: overheating would
result. In extreme cases, the motorcycle could
catch fire.
Do not allow the engine to idle for an unnecessary
length of time
•Mounting the bike
When mounting or dismounting the bike the side-
stand should be in the retracted position.
Repeatedly overloading the side stand could
cause a failure of the component resulting in the
motorcycle falling.
Starting the engine
To start the engine,
Deactivate the ignition lock by swiping the key
fob over the receiver.
Ensure the motorcycle is in neutral or the clutch
lever is pulled in.
Press the fire button and hold until the
motorcycle starts (use of cold start lever may be
required in low temperatures).

12
Note:
Do not hold the fire button down for more than 5
seconds continuously.
During a bump start it is necessary to hold the
start button in order to keep the ECU live.
Engine revs
When started from cold, allow the motorcycle a
moment to warm up and for oil to properly
circulate within the engine before revving/riding
the motorcycle. When riding, avoid high engine
speeds until the engine reaches proper operating
temperature.
Your motorcycle is not designed for extended
periods of revving at engine speeds in excess of
8000 rpm. Riding with the engine revving at
speeds in excess of 8000 rpm can result in
damage and engine-revolution excursions above
this limit are logged in the control unit's memory.
CCM refuses to accept liability for engine damage
if engine-revolution excursions above this limit
are stored in the control unit's memory.
Running in
See Maintenance section for running-in
instructions.
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed down before they can
achieve their optimum friction levels. You can
compensate for this initial reduction in braking
efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
New brake pads can extend stopping distance by
a significant margin.
Apply the brakes in good time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth surface. This must be
roughened by riding in a restrained manner at
gradually increasing lean angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in procedure is essential
if the tyres are to achieve maximum grip. Tyres do
not have their full grip when new and there is a
risk of accidents at extreme angles of lean.
Avoid extreme angles of lean.
Loading the motorcycle
Always use caution when loading luggage onto
the motorcycle.
Ensure the weight is evenly distributed between
the left and right sides and the weight is as close
to the centre of the motorcycle as possible.
Loading the extreme rear of the
motorcycle with a lot of weight can
adversely affect the motorcycles handling.
Never exceed the motorcycles maximum gross
weight (see Technical Information).

13

To ensure the best performance and reliability of your motorcycle, it is important that the following running in procedure is followed. Failure to comply may result in
warranty invalidation.
At all times;
• Do not use high engine speed when engine is cold.
• Avoid labouring the engine. Downshift before engine “struggles”.
• Do not use higher engine speed than required. Using a lower gear increases fuel economy and reduces environmental and noise pollution.
<500 MILES
•Do not use full throttle
•Vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently.
•Avoid maintaining constant engine speeds for prolonged periods of time
•Avoid high engine speeds
•Do not exceed 75mph.
•Avoid aggressive acceleration and deceleration manoeuvres, except in an emergency
•Maximum speeds during running-in Period ≤75 mph
500 –1000 MILES
•Ensure first service (as per Service Record) is carried out.
•Maximum engine speed can be gradually increased to the rev limit for short periods.
Daily Checks
See “Pre-Ride Checks” section

17
Service Information
•Checking engine oil
The engine can seize if the oil level is low, and this
can lead to accidents.
To ensure that the engine oil level is read
correctly, check the oil level only when engine is
at operating temperature, turned off and with the
motorcycle held upright.
Ensure the oil level is between the maximum and
minimum marks on the left-hand side of the oil
level inspection window.
If the engine oil level is too low, top up with new
oil.
If the engine oil level is too high, have the oil level
corrected by the CCM Services Team.
•Adding Engine Oil
- To top up engine oil, ensure ground is
flat and level.
- Remove oil filler cap (1).
Top up oil to specified level on the inspection
window. See Technical Information for correct oil
type.
Re-fit filler cap and wipe any excess oil away
using a cloth.
Always check for signs of leaks after performing
an oil change and do not ride the motorcycle if
anything is seen
•Replacing engine oil and filter
Start the engine and run it until operating
temperature is reached to thin the oil.
Place the motorcycle on its side stand with a
drain pan underneath the oil sump plug.
Remove the oil sump plug (1) and allow oil to drain
into drain pan.
Beware, engine oil will be hot.
Once most of the oil is drained remove the oil
strainer (3) by unscrewing the 2 fastening bolts
and inspect for debris, clean if necessary.
Then remove the oil strainer drain plug (2) and
allow any oil to drain out.

Remove the oil filter cover (4) and oil filter
element.
Fit a new oil filter element and replace the filter
cover.
Replace the oil strainer, oil strainer drain plug and
oil sump plug.
Fill the engine with the specified amount of
engine oil.
Run the engine until the fan kicks in then for a
further one minute to ensure it is at the correct
operating temperature.
Check the oil level in the inspection window and
adjust if necessary.
Always check for signs of leaks after performing
an oil change and do not ride the motorcycle if
anything is seen.
•Braking system
Checking operation of brakes
Operate both brake levers, the pressure points
must be clearly perceptible.
If pressure point is not clearly perceptible, bleed
the brake system and re-check. If problem
persists, check system for damage and contact
approved service provider.
Checking brake pad thickness
Brake pads worn past the minimum permissible
thickness can cause a reduction in braking
efficiency and under certain circumstances they
can cause damage to the brake system.
In order to ensure the dependability of the brake
system, do not permit thebrake pads to wear past
the minimum permissible thickness.
Visually inspect the condition and thickness of
the brake pad friction material.
To change the front brake pads, the wheel must
first be removed.
Checking brake-fluid level
A low fluid level in the brake reservoir can allow
air to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking efficiency.
To check level, turn the handle bars to a straight-
ahead position and hold motorcycle upright.
Check the fluid level in the front brake master
cylinder (1) is above the minimum marker.
Check the fluid level in the rear master cylinder is
above the minimum marker.

•Coolant
Risk of burns from escaping coolant!
The hot cooling system is pressurised.
Allow the coolant to cool down before
opening the radiator cap.
Make sure the ground is flat and level, hold the
motorcycle vertical.
Once the radiator has cooled, remove the cap (1)
by turning it counter-clockwise.
Ensure correct coolant level is maintained.
Coolant minimum level is defined by the internal
top plate. Maximum level is 40mm below top cap)
•Clutch
Checking operation of clutch
- Pull in the clutch lever.
- The pressure point must be clearly
perceptible.
- If it is not, have the clutch checked by
an approved CCM workshop.
Checking clutch lever play
Pull in clutch lever until resistance is felt.
Recommended clutch lever play (a) is 3-5mm
The lever position can be adjusted to suit hand
size. To adjust the lever distance, rotate the
adjuster (B) COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. To increase
the lever distance, rotate the adjuster (B)
CLOCKWISE.
•Wheels and tyres
Checking tyre tread depth
Your motorcycle's handling and grip can be
impaired even before the tyres wear to the
minimum tyre tread depth permitted by law.
Have the tyres changed in good time before they
wear to the minimum permissible tread depth.
Make sure the ground is level and firm and place
the motorcycle on its stand.
