SECTION 5: RUNNING IN YOUR MOTORCYCLE
As mentioned previously, running in your motorcycle
correctly can extend its service life and ensure it runs to its
best performance. Follow the methods below to run in your
motorcycle.
The table below shows the maximum recommended engine
speed during running in.
initial 1000Km below 5000r/min
10001600km below 6000r/min
over 1600km below 10000r/min
NOTE
After driving 4000KM, it is necessary to replace the
engine oil and filter element of the air cleaner.
Vary the engine speed. The engine speed should be varied
and not held at a constant speed. This allows the parts to
be “loaded” with pressure, and then unloaded, allowing
the parts to cool. This aids the mating process of the parts.
It is essential that some stress be placed on the engine
components during running-in to ensure this mating
process. However, do not apply excess load on the engine.
SECTION 6: INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING
Allow the engine oil to circulate before riding. Allow
sufficient idling time after warm or cold engine start up
before applying load or revving the engine. This allows
time for the lubricating oil to reach all the critical engine
components.
First regular maintenance and check. The first service is
the most important service your motorcycle will receive.
During running-in all of the engine components will have
worn in and all of the other parts will have seated in. All
adjustments will be restored and all fasteners will be
tightened. Timely performance of the 800km service will
ensure optimum service life and performance of the engine.
Before riding your motorcycle, make sure to check the following items. Never underestimate the importance of these checks.
Perform all of them before riding the machine.
Steering 1. Smoothness
2. No restriction of movement
Fuel 1. Check fuel level and add fuel if needed
2. Check fuel pipes for leakage
Engine oil 1. Check engine oil levels 2. If needed add engine oil
3. Check the engine oil is not leaking
Tyres
1. Check if tyres are damaged
2. Check tyre depth
3. Check tyre air pressure and adjust
accordingly
Brakes
1. Check operation of front and rear brake
2. Check for any damage in the brake disc
3. Check fluid level in brake reservoirs
4. Check if any fluid is leaking out of the
hydraulic system
Chain 1. Check condition and tension 2. Adjust tension if necessary
3. Ensure proper lubrication
Throttle 1. Check throttle has appropriate free play 2. Check throttle operation while engine is
running, before riding
Side stand 1. Make sure the operation is smooth 2. Lubricate the side stand pivot point when
needed
Lights and horn Check all lights are working: front light, tail light, brake light, instrument lights, turning signal
lights and horn

BRAKE PAD
Inspect the front and rear brake pads by noting whether
or not the friction pads are worn down to the grooved limit
line. If a pad is worn to the grooved limit line it must be
replaced with a new one. The inspection should be carried
out as follows:
1. Inspect the front and rear brake system to see whether or
not there is fluid leakage.
2. Inspect the brake hose to see whether or not there is a
leakage or crack.
3. Brake lever and pedal keep the elasticity all the time.
4. Check the wear condition of the front and rear break
pads.
If in any doubt, ask your dealer to check for you.
WARNING
Take extra care for the first 50 miles with new pads to
allow them to bed in.
DISC BRAKE
The brake disc is an important part of the braking system.
Check the disc for scoring or damage. It must be replaced
with a new one if damaged.
WARNING
To avoid an accident and the deterioration of your
braking quality, please ensure no grease or dirt attaches
to the surface of the brake discs.
WARNING
The disc braking system is based on high pressure
brakes. For safety, you must replace the brake fluid at
the interval time specified in the maintenance section of
this manual.

TYRES
Each time before riding, make sure to check your tyres. If
the tread pattern depth has reached its limit, you find a
foreign object in your tyre, or your tyres have a crack, please
contact your dealer to replace the tyres immediately.
In order to ensure safety and long service life, regular
maintenance and checks should be completed. Make sure
you check the tyre pressure and tread depth regularly.
TYRE PRESSURE
Each time before riding, check the tyre pressure and
adjust if necessary. The tyre pressure should be within the
regulated pressure. Adjusting the tyre pressure should be
carried out in normal temperatures.
Basic parameter Front tyre Rear tyre
Tyre pressure (P.S.I.) JUST DRIVER 29 29
Tyre pressure (P.S.I.) TWO PEOPLE 29 30
WARNING
Because loading has a great influence in the operation,
braking, performance and security characteristics of
the motorcycle, be sure to keep in mind the following
considerations:
1. Do not overload! Overloaded motorcycle riding could
lead to damage of tyres, the motorcycle going out of
control, or serious personal injury. Ensure that the total
weight of the motorcycle driver, passenger, goods and
accessories does not exceed the stipulated maximum
weight.
2. Do not carry goods in loose packaging, as they will
easily move during riding.
3. Everytime before riding, check the tyre condition and
air pressure.
TYRE TREAD
Using excessively worn tyres will reduce the stability and
you may lose control. Change to a new tyre when the front
tyre tread depth is below 1.6mm and the rear below 2mm.
NOTE
Your motorcycle uses the following tyre type:
Front tyre: 100/80-17
Rear tyre: 130/70-17
We strongly recommend that you use standard or above
standard tyres. The vehicle tyre inflation pressure in
terms of functionality and security is very important.
Check tyre tread wear, condition and tyre pressure
frequently.
