Operation and important riding points6-46EAU42031Engine break-inThere is never a more important periodin the life of your engine than the first 5hours of riding. It is also important toaccustom the rider to the motorcycleduring this time. Please read the fol-lowing information carefully.Since the engine is brand new, do notput an excessive load on it for the first5 hours of operation. The various partsin the engine wear and polish them-selves to the correct operating clear-ances. During this period, prolongedfull-throttle operation or any conditionthat might result in engine overheatingmust be avoided. However, momen-tary full-throttle operation under load(i.e., two to three seconds maximum)does not harm the engine. Each full-throttle acceleration should be fol-lowed with a substantial rest period forthe engine. To allow the engine to cooldown from the temporary buildup ofheat, cruise at a lower engine speed.After the first 5 hours of operation,thoroughly check the motorcycle forloose parts, oil leakage and any otherproblems. Be sure to inspect and makeadjustments thoroughly, especially ca-bles. In addition, check all fittings andfasteners for looseness, and tighten ifnecessary.NOTICEECA10271If any engine trouble should occurduring the engine break-in period,immediately have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.EAU40723ParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, andthen turn the fuel cock lever to “S”(stop).WARNINGEWA10312 Since the engine and exhaustsystem can become very hot,park in a place where pedestri-ans or children are not likely totouch them and be burned. Do not park on a slope or on softground, otherwise the vehiclemay overturn, increasing therisk of a fuel leak and fire. Do not park near grass or otherflammable materials whichmight catch fire.
