OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION
During the break-in period:
• Do not operate at sustained full throttle. Damage to engine parts or decrease engine life may result if excessive
wide open throttle is used during the rst 20 hours of use.
• Do not run engine with throttle over 1/2 open during the rst 10 hours (or 100 miles/160km) of use.
• Do not run engine with throttle over 3/4 open during the rst 10 to 20 hours (or the second 100 miles/160km) of
use.
• Do not haul or tow heavy cargo.
• Use of any oil other than those recommended may cause serious engine damage. CFMOTO recommends the
following oil types:
▪ 500cc Engines – 5W-40 oil. Changing engine oil viscosity to 10W-40 or 15W-40 due to hot environments is
acceptable.
▪ 800cc and 1000cc Engines
–
10W-40 oil. Changing engine oil viscosity to 5W-40 due to extreme
cold environments or 15W-40 due to hot environments is acceptable.
• Reference the chart below for ambient temperature and viscosity choice.
NOTE:
800 engines contain a wet clutch that requires JASO-certied engine oil, commonly sold as motorcycle engine oil.
