Vehicle Break-in Period
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always exercise extreme caution
whenever handling gasoline. Never allow a child to handle gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See page 59. Add the recommended oil as
needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
3. Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on pages
42-43.
4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes. See Brake System Break-in
below.
5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
6. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined
on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 38.
7. Change the engine oil at 10 hours or one month.
8. Adjust and lubricate the drive chain at 10 hours or one month.
Brake System Break-in
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or
overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage
brake pads and rotors.
CVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life
and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at
slower speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in
period.
