Proper Warm up
In the following circumstances, allow suffi-
cient idling time to warm it up before riding.
• When you have not used the motorcycle
for an extended period
• In extremely low temperatures (as a
guide, -10°C (14°F) or less) in cold
regions
In any other circumstances, out of consider-
ation for the environment, begin riding
promptly after starting the engine.
NOTICE
Immediately after starting the engine,
revving the engine, sudden acceleration,
or abrupt braking may cause the engine
to malfunction.
If it is necessary to warm up, run the
engine for a period of several tens of
seconds to several minutes to warm it
up before beginning travel.
NOTICE
Leaving the engine running for an
extended period without riding, in order
to charge the battery, etc., may cause the
engine to overheat. Overheating may
damage engine parts and cause the
exhaust pipe to change color.
Stop the engine if you do not intend to
begin riding promptly.
