Motorcycle Load Limits

The motorcycle is designed to carry
the rider and one passenger. You
should never exceed a total load on
the motorcycle in excess of 330 lbs.
Warning! Do not exceed a
combined load of 330 lbs.
Warning! Do not load the
motorcycle asymmetrically; balance
the loads so they are equally
distributed on the left and the
right.

18
Break-In Procedure
When an internal combustion engine is new, it should not be subjected to hard
acceleration, lugging, overheating, or running for long periods at a constant engine
speed. You should avoid these situations during the first 500 miles of service.
Caution! Do not violate the guidance provided here, or you may damage your
motorcycle engine.
We recommend the first oil change when the motorcycle reaches between 200 and
500 miles. We recommend a second oil change at 1,000 miles, and every 2,500
miles thereafter. We recommend using only 10-40W motorcycle oil. Caution!
Never use any oils intended for automotive use, or any oil that contains friction
reducing additives (use of these oils will induce clutch slippage not covered by the
CSC warranty).
Caution! Use only non-synthetic oils during the first 1000 miles of use. After that,
you may wish to change to synthetic motorcycle oil.

19
EFI System
The motorcycle is fuel injected. The fuel injection system includes the ECU, the
nozzle, the throttle, the intake sensor, the pressure sensor, the engine temperature
sensor, the ignition coil, the crankshaft position sensor, the fuel pump, and the O2
sensor. The instrument cluster includes and EFI fault indicator. It should turn on
when the ignition is turned on and turn off after the engine has started. If there is a
fault, the EFI fault indicator will turn on or flash. If the EFI indicator does this, check
the electrical connections to the components described above, the fuel lines, and
battery voltage.
Caution! Do not operate the motorcycle with less than a quarter tank of fuel. Fuel
in the fuel tank is needed to keep the fuel pump cool.
Caution! Do not install accessories that interfere with the fuel injection system. All
electrical accessories should be at least 6 inches away from EFI components.
Caution! Clean the air filter element and the throttle valve and replace the fuel filter
every 5000 miles.
