During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “break-in” before subjecting the engine to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
Speed limits
initial 800 km (500 miles): below 7 000 r/min
up to 1 600 km (1 000 miles): below 10 500 r/min
over 1 600 km (1 000 miles): below 13 750 r/min
Vehicle identification number
The frame serial number or V.I.N. (Vehicle identification
number) “a” is stamped on the right side of the steering
head tube. The engine serial number “b” is located on
the lower crankcase. These numbers are required
especially for registering the machine and ordering
spare parts.

Exterior parts removal and installation
Side frame cover
Removal
Note
the left and right side frame covers are
installed symmetrically and therefore the
removal/installation procedure for one side is
the same as that for the other side.
Remove the bolt (1).
Remove the side frame cover (2).

Speed sensor inspection
Inspect the speed sensor in the following procedures:
remove the speed sensor. Refer to “speed sensor removal and
installation” .
Connect a 12 v battery (between b and b/w), 10 kù
resistor (between b/r and b) and multi-circuit tester
(tester (+) probe to b and tester ...
