Running in
If the engine fails to start after repeated
attempts, it may be flooded with excess fuel. To
clear a flooded engine, turn the ignition switch
“OFF” ( ) and turn the choke lever to “OFF”.
Close the throttle fully and crank the engine
several times with the kick starter. Turn the
ignition switch “ON” ( ) and start the engine
without using choke.
RIDING
Flooded engine
During first 1000 km, do not operate the
vehicle at more than 60 km/hr speed in top
gear, 45 km/hr in third gear, 30 km/hr in
second gear and 15 km/hr in first gear.
Avoid full throttle operation.
During initial running in, newly machined
surfaces will be in contact with each other and
these surfaces will wear in quickly. Running in
precautions till 1000 km will reduce initial
wear of engine components and increase its
service life.
