Instructions on fuel
and engine oil
I. Fuel
! Warning
Gasoline is inflammable and
explosive. When handling gasoline,
attention should be paid to prevent
burnt or accident.
• In places where gasoline is
stored or handled, shutdown the
engine, do not smoke, and keep
away from naked flame or
spark.
• Refueling shall be made in a
well ventilated place. After
refueling, immediately clean off
any gasoline outside the fuel
tank.
Please #93 or #95
(GS 17930-1999) unleaded gasoline.
This may prolong the service life of
spark plug.
Note!
If the engine produces ping
noise, it may be caused by using of
improper fuel. Replace with correct
fuel.
Ethanol gasoline
If ethanol gasoline is used,
please use #90 or higher conforming
to GBI8351-2004. Do not use
methanol gasoline, even though it
may contain cosol vent and
anti-corrosion agent.
Note!
• If ethanol gasoline is exposed to
water excessively, ethanol may be
separated, resulting in decrease of
gasoline octane number. Therefore,
the storage time shall not be too
long.
• Before using ethanol gasoline for
the first time, make a through
cleaning of the fuel supply system
and fuel tank.
• Always buy a proper amount of
ethanol gasoline. Once there is a
poor fuel tank sealing or a long
storage time, moisture content may
increase. causing low octane number
and resulting in difficult ignition or
weak power.
2. Lubricant
(Please refer to Regular
Maintenance Table)
Use high quality 4-stroke
engine oil to prolong engine life.
Engine oil shall be SE or SD product
in API classification. Engine oil of
proper viscosity shall be used
according to local air temperature.
There are three viscosity levels
suitable for the engine, namely,
SAEI5W-40. SAEIOW-30 and
SAE5W-30. Refer to the figure

The quality of engine oil is a
major factor affecting the service life
of engine. Replace engine oil
according to the maintenance period
stated in maintenance table (please
refer to Page 19). When driving in

Chapter 5
Running-in of new
motorcycle
The importance of correct new
vehicle running-in was mentioned in
Foreword. The correct running-in
method is as follows.
Maximum speed
The maximum speed during
running-in period is shown in the
table.
First 800 km <5000 rpm
At 1600 krn <7500 rpm
Aller 1600 krn <10000 rpm
Changes of engine speed
Do not drive at a constant
engine speed for a long time. For a
better running-in. properly increase
and reduce the throttle opening.
Change engine speed from time to
-16-

lime 10 Ict various engine parts get
"bearing" pressure. When the
pressure is "unloaded". the engine
parts will cool down. helping the
fitting of different pans. During
running-in period. engine load may
be properly increased. Apply some
load to cngine parts to guarantee
good fining. This is every important.
but do not apply excessive load to
the engine.
Avoid driving at a low speed
Running at a certain low engine
speed (with light load) can only
polish the parts but cannot get a
good running-in. So long as the
upper limit of recommended throttle
opening is not exceeded. drive the
\ chide in various gears wuh proper
accelcranon. l lowever, never drive
at the maximum acceleration during
the lirst 1600 krn.
Make oil circulating before
driving
After starting or warm or cold
engine and before applying load or
driving. let the engine run at idle
speed for an adequate time. This
allows lubricant to flow to all import
engine parts. so as to reduce wearing
and increase the service life. This
also helps the engine to warm-up
sufficiently.
First maintenance inspection
The maintenance of the first
1000 km is the most important.
During running-in period. all engine
parts have been run-in and other
parts engaged. Then. all parts shall
be adjusted. all fasteners be
tightened. contaminated engine oil
be replaced and filter element be
replaced.
Timely making 1000 kin
maintenance can guarantee a long
engine life and the best engine
performance.
Precaution:
1000 krn maintenance shall be
carried out according to the
"Troubleshooting" in the manual.
Pay special attention to the
"precaution" and "warning" in the
section.
