WARNING
You should practice driving in a safe and spacious area if you ride this type of motorcycle for the first time
Riding with one hand is extremely dangerous; you should hold the two handle bars tightly with your both hands In no cir-
cumstances can you release the handle bars
Do not accelerate when turning You must reduce the speed to safety range
If the ground is wet or slippery, you must reduce the speed
At the exit of a tunnel or valley or when meeting large vehicles, you must be careful and reduce the speed
Obey the transportation rules and limit your speed

Basic Operating Instructions
Starting the engine — EFI Models
Shift the transmission into neutral
Pull in the clutch lever when starting the engine For Dual Sport and motard ver-
sion, turn the ignition switch to “ON” and push the engine start/stop switch to
right side
(For Off-road 450E version, the right switch should be turned to the left)
Close the throttle grip(11), operate the kick starter starting from the top of the
kick starter stroke, kick through to the bottom with rapid, continuous motion
COLD START:
For Electric Start, push and hold the button for 2-3 seconds Then release Then
Push and hold button again for 5 seconds If the bike does not start, repeat pro-
cedure
If the engine backfires, it may be flooded If this happens, Cycle the key switch
on/off then back on Then hold the throttle 100% open and crank the engine
with the starter This disables the Fuel Injection and cleans out the cylinder
If you still have starting issues, the battery may be low and try kick starting the
bike
Once engine is started, let the EFI go through the high idle warm up for 10-20
seconds
Stop the engine
Shift the transmission into neutral
Push the stop button(4) (or push the engine start/stop switch to left side for enduro and motard version)
In case emergency engine stop, press the stop button directly (or push the engine start/stop switch to left side for enduro and
motard version)
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” if available on your bike
AWD Engagement
Switch Forward will switch OFF the AWD system You can do this at any speed
Switch Backward will turn ON the AWD system This should only be done at low speeds (first gear)
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter button pressed for more than 5 seconds at a time Release the starter button for approximately 10 seconds
before pressing it again
If the clutch lever(8) is pulled, the engine could be started in any gear

Basic Operating Instructions
BREAK-IN
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 150km is designed to compensate for this initial minor wear Timely performance of the break-in maintenance will
ensure optimum service life and performance from the engine
The general rules as follows:
Start the engine and let it run at idle until the engine is thoroughly warmed up
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration
Maximum continuous engine speed during the first 150km must not exceed 5,000 rpm (or 10 hours Max)
After 150km ride maintenance the machine per the maintenance schedule
After the break-in procedure has been properly carried out, the motorcycle is ready for regular operation However, since
premature high r/min (rpm) will lead to engine trouble, take care to use the necessary skill and technique in operating the
motorcycle
Never run the engine with full throttle at low speed operation This rule is applicable not only during break-in but at all
times
This procedure should be followed each time:
•
Piston is replaced
•
Piston rings are replaced
•
Cylinder is replaced
•
Crankshaft or crank bearing are replaced
CAUTION
The motorcycle is shipped with break in Oil only! Once the engine is run for an initial 30 minutes, drain and
replace the oil with a Synthetic
API SG or higher
SAE 10W-40
Failure to do so may decrease the engine transmission life or cause premature failure

Page 13
Maintenance
The Maintenance Schedule specifies how often you should have your motorcycle served, and what things need attention It is es-
sential that your motorcycle be served as scheduled to retain its high level of safety, dependability, and emission control perform-
ance Remember, proper maintenance is your responsibility
PRECAUTION
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching
Be careful when working around gasoline Keep cigarettes, spark, and flames away from all fuel related parts
MAINTENANCE RULE
Place the motorcycle on the firm level ground using optional work stand or equivalent support
Use genuine or recommend part and lubricants or other equivalents Parts that do not meet design specifications may cause dam-
age to the motorcycle
Use only metric tools when servicing the motorcycle, metric nuts, bolts, screws are not interchangeable with British fasteners
Always replace with new gaskets, O-rings, cotter pins, piston pin clips, snap rings, etc after disassemble engine
When tightening bolts and nuts, begin with larger diameter or inner bolt first Then tighten to specified torque diagonally in incre-
mental steps unless a particular sequence is specified
Clean parts in cleaning solvent upon disassembly ,lubricate and sliding surface before assembly
Always inspect all parts for proper installation and operation after reassemble
Route all electrical wires, cables and harness routing as designed
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Required maintenance schedule is based upon average riding condition Sustained high speed operation, or operation in unusually
wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service than specified in the REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE See SPECIAL
MAINTANCE SCHEDULE for competition maintenance need
Perform the Pre-ride inspection at each scheduled maintenance period
Symbol in maintenance schedule means:
I Inspect and Clean , Adjust , Lubricate or Replace if necessary
C Clean
R Replace
A Adjust
L Lubricate
* Unless the rider is mechanically qualified and has proper tools, see authorized dealer for service
* * Special maintenance strongly recommend to look for authorized dealer service
NOTE1 Clean after every ride for dusty conditions
NOTE2 Replace every 2 years Replacement requires mechanical skill
NOTE3 Replace after the first break-in ride
NOTE4 Inspect after the first break-in ride
NOTE5 Replace the transmission oil once change the clutch plate
