LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATER/COOLANT
Solution capacity (total): 1700 ml (I .8/l .5 US/Imp. qt)
For coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section, page 5-2.
CAUTION:
Mixing of anti-freeze/coolant should be limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it would reduce its efficiency. If
the anti-freeze/coolant mixing ratio is below 50%, rust inhabiting performance is greatly reduced. Be sure
to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric temperature does not go down to the freezing point. -
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN” before subjecting the
engine to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and
restraint exercise during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
_
l
Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Initial 800 km (500 miles)
:
Below 4000 r/min
Up to 1600 km (1000 miles)
:
Below 6000 r/min
Over 1600 km (1000 miles)
:
Below 8500 r/min
l
Upon reaching an
odometer reading of 1600 km (1000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full
throttle operation. However, do not exceed 8500 r/min at any time.
