Start engine in wellventilated places. If engine is not started within 3 seconds after starter button is pressed, wait for approximately 10 seconds and retry. This is to recover battery voltage. Do not run engine idle unreasonably. This not only wastes fuel but also adversely affects engine. If starter button is pressed without disengaging clutch, motorcycle may bring out to fall. Make sure gear is in neutral position or disengage clutch prior to starting engine. If engine cannot be started or vehicle does not move, check the followings. Is there fuel in fuel tank? Are you operating in accordance with the instructions given in owner's manual? Is fuse not cut? Is starter motor running? If starter motor is not running due to battery consumption, charge the battery. If the MIL blinks continously when the main key is on, contact daelim dealer. 1/8 1/4 GEAR SHIFTING Gear is shifted in 5-shift return system as shown on the right side drawing. Close throttle grip and hold clutch lever perfectly, and shift gear. Touch pedal lightly with foot and shift gear perfectly until you hear "Click" at the pedal. If you apply excessive force when shifting gear, transmission may be damaged. 18 OPERATION If you gear down when you need to drastically accelerate speed such as when you are passing another vehicle, speed can be accelerated. If you ride too fast, it adversely affects engine because engine revolution is excessive. 23 4 GEAR CHANGE PEDAL 5 Make sure side stand is in original position prior to starting vehicle. If side stand moves unsatisfactorily, check lubrication state on side stand joint. Shift gear adequately according to vehicle speed. The table on the right side shows speed ranges. To save fuel and maintain optimum vehicle life, do not accelerate or decelerate speed abruptly. For 1month (or 1,000km)after purchasing the vehicle,drive moderately avoiding fast starts and fast acceleration. Maintain engine revolution at a level less than 6,000rpm for first 1,000km to break in vehicle. If vehicle is break in as above, It will extend vehicle life. CAUTION Always start in the 1 st gear, and start carefully as slow as possible. If you hear abnormal noise during travel, contact authorized maintenance shop immediately for inspection and necessary action. Maintain legal speed limits. 1 19 HOW TO USE BRAKE Apply brakes on front wheel and rear wheel simultaneously. Avoid unnecessary abrupt braking. If you turn throttle grip in reverse, engine brake functions and, if you need stronger braking, shift gear down from 4th to 3rd and so forth. When you travel on a long descent or on a sharp descent, use intermittent braking technique and engine brake simultaneously. PARKING Put gear in neutral and put main switch to "OFF" position to stop engine. Put fuel cock to "OFF" position. Put vehicle on main stand and park on level ground in places free of traffic. If you park vehicle on an uneven ground, vehicle may fall. CAUTION If you apply brakes only on front wheel or rear wheel, vehicle may slide off sideway and fall. If you apply brakes abruptly during travel in rain or on wet road, tires slide off and may cause accidents. Reduce speed and apply brake cautiously. Avoid repeated brake operation as it may cause brake temperature to rise, leading to braking effect deterioration. CAUTION Do not shift to lower gear while traveling at an excessive speed as it may suddenly increase the engine speed, adversely affect the engine and transmission, and cause the rear part of the vehicle to be shaken. CAUTION Select a safe place free of traffic and park vehicle. Muffler is hot. Park vehicle in places where there is no danger of people making contact with vehicle. 20 SELF INSPECTIONS BEFORE OPERATION Stop vehicle on level ground and park with the steering wheel turned to left. If the vehicle is parked in the following way, vehicle may fall to side. If the vehicle is parked with the steering wheel turned to right, or if parked on a slope, sandy places, uneven ground or soft ground, vehicle may fall. If is necessary to park in an unstable ground under unavoidable situation, take sufficient safety measures to prevent vehicle from falling or moving. Self inspect the motorcycle and have regular maintenance inspections for increased safety and the prevention of accidents. Self inspections before operation should be performed an a daily basis prior to operating the vehicle. Inspections of areas of concern. Fuel check Brake inspection Tire inspection Throttle grip Inspection Clutch inspection. Drive chain inspection. Engine oil inspection. Lights and winker inspection. Back mirror inspection. License plate inspection. CAUTION Observe safety rules when conducting inspections. Exhaust gas contains harmful substance such as carbon monoxide. Do not carry out inspections on vehicle in closed places, or in poorly ventilated places, with engine running. Conduct inspections on flat, solid ground with the stand erected. Be careful of burns when conducting inspections immediately after engine is stopped because the engine and muffler are hot. Stop engine and remove the key prior to the vehicle maintenance service. If you are unable to correct trouble even after you make adjustment or correction, contact authorized maintenance shops, dealers or designated repair shops for necessary inspection and repairs. 21 INSPECTION OF CONCERNED AREA Check areas which caused for concern when last operating the vehicle. BRAKES The front brake is the hydraulic disk type, and the rear brake is the drum brake type. As the brake pad wear, the brake fluid level drops. There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks. [FRONT WHEEL] Lightly squeeze the brake levers until tension is felt to check for an appropriate amount of free play. No free play in the brake levers or overly loose brake levers are indication of a problem in the brake system. BRAKE LEVER FREE PLAY : 10~20mm WARNING Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if your eyes were exposed. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Put main stand in upright position on a flat ground and operate steel wheel, and check fluid when the top of master cylinder cap is level. Check fluid level to see if it is below lower level. If fluid significantly low, it may indicate fluid leakage on brake system. If this happens, check fluid leaks or brake system. If this happens, check fluid leaks or damage on system and inspect joints and clamps for looseness. FUEL CHECK Check gasoline to see if there is a sufficient amount of gasoline to reach your destination. Refer to page 16 for refueling. 22 In addition, check hose and pipe protective part to sec if they make contact with other parts when you make left or right turn due to vibration during travel. LOWER LEVEL ENGINEC STOP Move steering wheel and set the top of reserve tank level.
