CAUTION: If the engine fails to start with the procedures above, try to start again with the throttle grip opened 1/4 to 1/2. Warming up the engine For extended engine life always warm the engine up never accelerate hard while the engine is cold. To check if engine temperature is normal, rev the engine with the choke closed and check to see if it responds normally. CAUTION: See the ìBreak-in sectionî prior to operating the motorcycle for the first time. 5-2 Shifting The transmission lets you control the amount of power you have available at a given speed for starting, accelerating, climbing hills, etc. The use of shift pedal is shown in the illustration (page 3-6). To shift into NEUTRAL, depress the shift pedal repeatedly until it reaches the end of its travel (you will feel a stop when you are in first gear), then raise the pedal slightly. CAUTION: 1. Do not coast for long periods with the engine off, and do not tow the motorcycle a long distance. Even with gears in neutral, the transmission is only properly lubricated when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may damage the transmission. Always use the clutch when changing gears. The engine, transmission, and driveline are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting and can be damaged by shifting without using the clutch. 5-3 Tips for reducing fuel consumption Your motorcycleís fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your riding style. The following tips can help reduce fuel consumption. Turn off the starter lever as soon as possible. Shift up swiftly and avoid high engine speeds during acceleration. Do not double-clutch or rev the engine while shifting down and avoid high engine speeds with no load engine. Turn off the engine instead of letting it idle for an extended lenght of time, i. e. in traffic jams, at traffic lights or railroad crossings.

CAUTION: Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, front fork, brakes, transmission seals and electrical parts. CAUTION: Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and mild, detergent-type soap. [. . . ]
