Chapter 5 Running-in of new motorcycle
Running at a certain low engine speed (with light load) can only
polish the parts but cannot get a good running-in. So long as the upper
limit of recommended throttle opening is not exceeded, drive the
vehicle in various gears with proper acceleration. However, never
drive at the maximum acceleration during the first 1600 km. Make oil
circulating before driving
After starting of warm or cold engine and before applying load or
driving, let the engine run at idle speed for an adequate time. This
allows lubricant to flow to all import engine parts, so as to reduce
wearing and increase the service life. This also helps the engine to
warm-up sufficiently.
-22-
First maintenance inspection
The maintenance of the first 1000 km is the most important.
During running-in period, all engine parts have been run-in and other
parts engaged. Then, all parts shall be adjusted, all fasteners be
tightened, contaminated engine oil be replaced and filter element be
replaced.
Timely making 1000 km maintenance can guarantee a long
engine life and the best engine performance.
Precaution
1000 km maintenance shall be carried out according to the
"Troubleshooting" in the manual. Pay special attention to the
"precaution" and "warning" in the section.

Chapter 7 Essentials of Driving
If it is the first time for you to drive this type of motorcycle, you
are advised to practice on a road away from highways, until you have
completely been familiar with the control and operation of the vehicle.
Before driving, make sure that the side stand is returned to the
uplift position.
Do not make gear shifting or deceleration in course of turning.
Slow down to a safe speed before turning.
Do not shift into a low gear during turning.
It is dangerous to drive a motorcycle with a single hand. During
driving, take a firm hold to the handlebar with both hands and put your
feet on the foot board. In any event, never free your both hands from
the handlebar.
On a wet road, the friction force is low and so is the brake force
and turning capability. Therefore, decelerate in advance.
Observe the traffic laws and speed limit.
Engine starting
Make sure the fuel is enough and the engine shutdown switch in
" " position. Insert the ignition key in ignition switch and turn it to
ON position. If the transmission is in neutral position, the neutral
indicator lamp is lit.
Make it a habit that, engage the neutral gear and firmly press
-25-
the clutch grip before starting the engine. This can prevent dash
forward in case of mistaking gear engagement.
Press the electric starting button for ignition. Never rotate the
accelerator grip when pressing the starting button.
Note͵
After engine ignition, immediately release the starting button, to
avoid adverse effects to the engine.
If the engine is not started after 5 seconds, wait for 10 seconds
before making another attempt to prevent damaging the battery.
A motorcycle not used for a long time and poor atomizing fuel
may result in starting difficulty. In this case, do not rotate the
accelerator grip, but repeat starting.
Precaution͵
Do not allow the engine run for a long time without driving, or
the engine may get overheat causing damage to internal parts or
chrome plating of exhaust system.
Precaution͵
Start the engine with the transmission in neutral position, the
clutch engaged and driver riding in normal driving position.
-26-
Firmly press the clutch grip, wait a little moment, press down the
gear lever to engage the first gear, rotate the accelerator grip slowly to
you and smoothly and slowly release the clutch grip. When the clutch
is engaged, the motorcycle will move forward.
To change into a higher speed gear, firstly decelerate a little,
release the accelerator and, at the same time, press the clutch grip, shift
the gear lever to the next higher speed gear position and release the
clutch grip, slightly rotate the accelerator. In this way, the highest gear
can be engaged gradually.
Note͵
For high speed driving, always avoid releasing the accelerator
suddenly. it is advised to wait a moment when the engine is running at
3000-5000rpm before fully releasing the accelerator. This can prevent
the engine from shutdown due to abnormal combustion.
Precaution͵
ᬅThe engine speed shall not be in the red range of the tachometer in
any gear.
-27-
Driving on a slope
ᬆTo shift from a high gear to a low gear, control the speed in a safe
speed range before gear shifting. Otherwise, abrupt deceleration
(sudden rise of engine speed) may happen, causing gear impacts, sever
parts wearing, or overbalance of the vehicle. It is dangerous.
Slope climbing:
● When going up a steep slope, the motorcycle may decelerate
due to insufficient power. Then, immediately shift to a low gear to
allow the engine running a normal power range. Pay attention that,
gear shifting shall be made quickly to keep adequate forward
momentum
of the motorcycle.
● When going down a slope, use the engine for braking, by
shifting into a lower gear.
● Be sure to keep in mind that, never drive too fast down a
slope! Never allow the engine to run a very high speed for a long time.
Use of brake and parking method
Rotate the accelerator grip outward to fully close the throttle.
At the same time, apply the front and rear brakes with even forces.
Use gear shifting to slow down.
Before the motorcycle is stopped, firmly press the clutch grip,
shift into neutral gear and observe the neutral indicator to make sure
the neutral gear is engaged.
The faster the vehicle is driven, the longer the braking distance
will be. Be sure to make correct estimation of the distance between
you and the vehicle or object in front of you for adequate braking
performance.
-28-
An inexperienced driver always uses the rear brake only. This
will cause premature wearing and too long a braking distance.
It is dangerous to use front brake only. This may cause slipping
and out of control. On wet highway or other dull road surface and
during turning, be extremely careful to apply the brake gently. Hard
braking on rough or dull road surface is very dangerous.
The motorcycle shall be parked on stable and flat ground.
To park your motorcycle on a gentle slope by using the side stand,
engage the first gear to prevent sliding off the side stand. Remember to
shift to neutral gear before starting the engine.
Turn the ignition switch to OFF position to shutdown the engine.
Remove the key from ignition switch.
Lock the steering bar for safety.
