MPORTANT
BREAK- N NFORMAT ON FOR
YOUR MOTORCYCLE
The first 1,600km(1,000miles) are the
most important in the life of your motorcycle.
Proper break-in operation during this time
will help ensure maximum life and perfor-
mance from your new motorcycle.
Hyosung parts are manufactured of high
uality materials, and manufactured parts
are finished to close tolerances. Proper
break-in operation allows the machined sur-
faces to polish each other and mate
smoothly.
Motorcycle reliability and performance
depend on special care and restraint exer-
cise during the break-in period. It is espe-
cially important that you avoid operating the
engine in a manner which could expose the
engine parts to excessive heat.
Please refer to the BREAK-IN section for
specific break-in recommendations.

that some extra precautions be taken to
ensure the safety of the rider and passen-
ger. These precautions are:
Before first use of the
read this owner
 s manual carefully to
become familiar with the
 s features, and safety
and maintenance requirements.
Review all instructions, requirements
and warnings with the riders. Keep

she is familiar with the location and
operation of all controls, and has
been instructed in the proper opera-
tion of the motorcycle.
For first use of the ,
find a level, open area for the rider to
use to become familiar with the oper-
ation of controls and the operating
and handling characteristics of the

WARN NG
Before each use, perform daily
inspections with the rider. Specific
items to check are listed in the
NSPECT ON BEFORE R D NG sec-
tion on page 46 of this owners man-
ual.
Make sure the rider wears a helmet,
eye protection, and protective cloth-
ing (gloves, leather or heavy cloth
pants, long sleeved shirt or jacket,
boots).
Permit use only by dual rider. This
motorcycle is designed for use only
by dual rider.
Do not permit anyone to operate the
under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs caused by
damage to the motorcycle or altered
handling characteristics.
Observe periodic maintenance
requirements your authorized
HYOSUNG dealer is trained and
equipped to perform this service.
Drain gasoline from the fuel tank and
carburetor prior to transporting the
.
Caution the rider and others near the

The is equipped with the
side stand ignition interlock system.
f the transmission is in neutral or side
stand up, you can only start the engine
with pulling in the clutch lever.
This side stand ignition interlock system
prevents the motorcycle from being
started with side stand down.
Make sure that the side stand igintion
interlock system is working properly
before riding.
WARN NG
Do not run the engine indoors or
where there is little or no ventilation.
Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that
is colorless and odorless.
Never leave the motorcycle running
while unattended, even for a short
time.
WARN NG
This motorcycle always come on the
head lamp and tail lamp when starting
engine.
CAUT ON
While operating the , the
rider should keep both feet on the
footrests at all times, or injuries resulting
from accidents. Moving the riders feet
from the footrests reduces the riders
ability to control the motorcycle, and
could lead to an accident.
WARN NG
Keep both hands on the handgrips at all
times when riding. Removing your
hands from the handgrips reduces your
ability to control the motorcycle, and
could result in an accident.
WARN NG
Always open the throttle gradually to
prevent front wheel lifting. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in
loss of control and an accident.
WARN NG
WHEN KEEP NG FOR LONG PER OD :
1. Supply the enough fuel in the fuel
tank.
2. Do drain wholly the fuel in the carbu-

practices.
We suggest that you practice riding
your motorcycle in a non-traffic situation
until you are thoroughly familiar with
your machine and its controls.
Remember practice makes perfect.
WARN NG
Ride within the boundaries of your own
skill at all times. Knowing these limits
and staying within them will help you to
avoid accidents.

Riding on bad weather days, especially
wet ones, requires extra caution.
Braking distances double on a rainy
day. Stay off of the painted surface

appearing areas as they can be espe-
cially slippery.
Use extreme caution at railway cross-
ings and on metal gratings and bridges.
Whenever you have a doubt about road
condition, slow down!

There are a great variety of accessories
available to Hyosung owners. Hyosung
can not have direct control over the uality
or suitability of accessories you may wish to
purchase except genuine parts.
The addition of unsuitable accessories
can lead to unsafe operating conditions. It
is not possible for Hyosung to test each
accessory on the market or combinations
of all the available accessories, however,
your dealer can assist you in selecting ual-
ity accessories and installing them correct-
ly.
Use extreme caution when selecting and
installing the accessories for your
Hyosung. We have developed some gen-
eral guidelines which will aid you when
deciding whether, and how to e uip your
motorcycle.
1. In case that additional weight or aero-
dynamic affecting accessories are
installed, they should be mounted as
low as possible, as close to the motor-
cycle and as near the center of gravity
as is feasible. The mounting brackets
and other attachment hardware should
be carefully checked to ensure that it
provides for a rigid, nonmovable
mount. Weak mounts can allow the
shifting of the weight and create a dan-
gerous, unstable condition.
2. Inspect for proper ground clearance
and bank angle. An improperly mount-
ed load could critically reduce these
two safety factors. Also determine that
the loaddoes not interfere with the
operation of the suspension, steering
or other control operations.
3. Accessories fitted to the handlebars or
the front fork area can create serious
stability problems. This extra weight will
cause the motorcycle to be less
responsive to your steering control.
The weight may also cause oscillations
in the front end and lead to instability
problems. Accessories added to the
machine should be as light as possible
and kept to a minimum.
4. The motorcycle may be affected by a
lifting condition or by an instability in
cross winds or when being passed or
passing large vehicles. Improperly
mounted or poorly designed acces-
sories can result in an unsafe riding
condition, therefore caution should be
used when selecting and installing all
accessories.
5. Certain accessories displace the rider
from his or her normal riding position.
This limits the freedom of movement of
the rider and may limit his or her control
ability.
6. Additional electrical accessories may
damage the existing electrical system.
Severe overloads may damage the
wiring harness or create a dangerous
situation due to the loss of electrical
power during the operation of the
motorcycle.
When carrying a load on the motorcycle,
mount it as low as possible and as close as
possible to the machine. An improperly
mounted load can create a high center of
gravity which is very dangerous and makes
the motorcycle difficult to handle. The size
of the loadcan also affect the aerody-
namics and handling of the motorcycle.

Modification of the motorcycle, or
removal of original equipment may ren-
der the vehicle unsafe or illegal.
WARN NG
Balance the load between the left and
right side of the motorcycle and fasten it
securely.
