OPERATION
Break-In Period
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Heed the gasoline warnings on page
15.
2. Check the oil level. See page 55. Add the recommended oil as
needed to maintain the oil level between the safe and add marks.
3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize
yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined
on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 29.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25
hours.
PVT 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. Pull only
light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during
the break-in period.
