air from the cooling system.
9. Start the engine and ride for 30 minutes at moderate speed NEVER ACCELERATE HARD.
10. Stop and let the engine cool completely, check and adjust.
11. After the break-in procedure has been properly carried out, the
motorcycle is ready for regular operation.
BREAK-IN
To obtain the proper operating clerances in the engine and
transmission that are necessary for smooth engine performance
and reliability, a brief hour or 20 km of operation, run the engine at
low and moderate rpm.
NOTE
The slow riding necessary during the break-in period may cause
carbon to build up on the spark plug and foul it. If inspection
of the spark plug shows this to be the case, replace the standard
spark plug with a hotter spark plug for the duration of the b in
period.
EC FSE 2003 -15-
However, since recklessly high r/min (rpm) will lead to engine trouble,
CAUTION
take care to use the necessary skill and technique in operating the
motorcycle.
NOTE
After break-in, install a new standard spark plug, and change
the transmission oil.

(C)
WARNING
Hydrogen gas produced by the battery may explode if exposed to
open flame or sparks. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery.
The operating instructions for the battery are as follows:
1.Check the battery tension while the circuit is open.
2.In case the battery’s tension is below 12.60 V, or if the storage
period has exceeded 6 months,the battery has to be recharged
following the instructions in paragraph. In case the tension is
above 12.60 V, the battery can be installed on the vehicle
without having to recharge it.
- The product of (charging power) x (charging time) has to stay
within the range:0,5 - 0,8 Cn.
NOTE
In case charging modes different than the established ones are
used, by no means, may the maximum allowed power or the
charging time of 24 hours be surpassed.
Using high-pressure water, as from a car wash facility, could damage
CAUTION
the radiator fins and impair the radiator´s effectiveness.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator.
Interference with the radiator airflow can lead to overheating and
consequent engine damage.

COOLING SYSTEM
Radiator Hoses
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or deterioration, and connections
for looseness in acordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
Radiator
Check the radiator fins for obstruction by insects or mud. Clean off
any obstructions with a stream of lowpressure water.
EC FSE 2003 -18-
Coolant
Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to
the air at the radiator. If the coolant level becomes low, the engine
overheats and may suffer severe damage. Check the coolant level
each day before riding the motorcycle. Replenish coolant if the level
is low.
WARNING
To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or try to change the
coolant when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools down.
Coolant information
To protect the cooling system aluminum parts (engine and radiator)
from rust and corrosion, the use for corrosion and rust inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential. If coolant containing corrosion
and rust inhibitor chemicals is not used, over a period of time, the
cooling system accumulates rust and scale in the water jacket and
radiator. This will clog coolant passages, and reduce the efficiency
of the cooling system.
Use of incorrect coolant solutions will cause severe engine and
CAUTION
cooling system damage.
Use coolant containing corrosion inhibitors made specifically for
aluminum engines and radiators in accordance with the instructions
of the manufacturer.
WARNING
Coolant chemicals are harmful to the human body. Follow coolant
manufacturer warnings and coolant handing instructions.
Coolant Level
- Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
- Remove the radiator cap in two steps. First turn the cap counterclock wise to the first stop and wait there for a few seconds. Then push
and turn it further in the same direction and remove the cap.
Soft or distilled water must be used with the inhibitor chemicals and
CAUTION
the antifreeze (see below for antifreeze) in the cooling system.If
hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in
the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the
cooling system.
If the lowest ambient temperature encountered falls below the
freezing point of water, protect the cooling system against engine
and radiator freeze-up. Use a permanent type of anti-freeze (soft
water and ethylene glycol plus corrossion and rust inhibitor chemicals
for aluminium engines and radiators) in the cooling system.
For the coolant mixture ratio under extreme conditions, choose the
mixture ratio listed on the container for the lowest ambient temperature.
EC FSE 2003 -19-
(A)
(A). Radiator Cap
CAUTION
Permantent types of antifreeze on the market have anticorrosion
and anti-rust properties. When it is diluted excessively, it loses its
antifreeze and anticorrosion properties. Dilute a permanent type of
antifreeze in accordance with the instructions of manufacturer.
Check the level when the engine is cold.
NOTE
(1). Coolant Level
(2). Breather Hose
If the coolant level is low, add the correct amount of coolant through
the filler opening.
Coolant Change
- The coolant should be changed periodically to ensure long engine
life.
- Wait for the engine to cool completely.
- Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground. -
- Remove the radiator cap.
- Place a container under the coolant drain plug, and drain the coolant
from the radiator and engine by removing the drain plug at the bottom
of the water pump cover. Immediately wipe or wash off any coolant
that spills on the frame, engine, or wheels.
(A)
Recomended Coolant
Permanent type of antifreeze (soft water and ethylene glycol plus
corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminum engines and
radiators).
NOTE
A permanent type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system
when shipped. It is colored green, contains a 50% solution of
ethylene glycol, and has a freezing point of -35º C. (-32º F )(USA).
