Tool Kit
The SG250 includes a tool kit stored in a container
on the right side of the motorcycle beneath the
battery. Pull up on the tab beneath the tool kit
cover and the cover will rotate up, providing access
to the tool kit.
Engine Break-In Procedure
When an internal combustion engine is new, it should not be subjected to hard acceleration, lugging,
overheating, or running for long periods at a constant engine speed. You should avoid these situations
during the first 500 miles of service. Caution! Do not violate the guidance provided here, or you may
damage your motorcycle engine.
We recommend the first oil change when the motorcycle reaches between 200 and 500 miles. We
recommend a second oil change at 1,000 miles, and every 2,500 miles thereafter. We recommend
using only 10-40W motorcycle oil. Caution! Never use any oils intended for automotive use, or any oil
that contains friction reducing additives (use of these oils will induce clutch slippage not covered by the
CSC warranty).
Use only non-synthetic oils during the first 1000 miles of use. After that, you may wish to change to
synthetic motorcycle oil.
The oil change procedure is outlined in the Oil Change section of this Owner’s and Service Manual.
Starting the Motorcycle
After completing the pre-ride inspection, you can start the motorcycle using either the kickstarter or the
electric starter. Follow the steps listed below:
Put the fuel petcock in the RUN position.
In cold weather, close the choke.
Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position. Make sure the transmission is in the
neutral position. Make sure the engine kill switch is in the RUN position.
If using the kick starter, vigorously kick the engine through a compression cycle, while opening
the throttle slightly.
If using the electric starter, depress the start button while opening the throttle slightly. Do not
crank the engine with the electric starter for more than a few seconds.
