Running IN
Riding the Bike
Proper running-in is important for the better life
& trouble free performance of the vehicle.
• During first 2000 kms running-in period do
not exceed following speed limits.
Kms 1st 2nd 3rd 4th
0 - 1000 15 30 45 55
1000 - 2000 20 40 60 75
• Always keep the speed below the limits
mentioned in the table.
• Do not race the engine excessively.
• Do not start moving or race the engine
immediately after starting. Run the engine
for a minute at idle speed to give the oil a
chance to work-up into the engine.
Before starting the vehicle & with the ignition
key ‘OFF’, adhere to the following first thing
in the morning or after a long period of non-
use (whichever is the case).
Starting the Engine :
• Keep the fuel tap to ON or RES position.
• Turn ignition switch to ON position.
• Confirm that the vehicle (transmission) is in
neutral.
• If the engine is cold or when starting for first
time, use choke for quick starting. Choke
lever (A) is located on LH side switch.
• Keep the throttle completely closed, and
kick the engine with kick starter lever.
• When the engine is warmed up enough to
idle without using choke, return the choke to
OFF position.
Depress the clutch lever completely. Kick the
kick lever all the way down to its stop, briskly
a couple of times. Release the clutch lever.
