OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
●
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
●
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffi c jams, at
traffi c lights or at railroad cross-
ings).

Engine break-in
There is never a more important pe-
riod in the life of your engine than the

mi). For this reason, you should read
the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
