It is possible that starting will be moredifficult if the vehicle has not been usedfor a long period of time or if the fuelhole is plugged up (starting problemseven when there is sufficient fuel in thefuel tank may be an indication of aplugged fuel hole).When this happens, do not rotate thethrottle grip and try the starter button afew times.

If engine cannot be started or vehicle doesnot move, check the followings.

Is there fuel in fuel tank?Are you operating in accordance withthe instructions given in user's manual?Is fuse not cut?Is starter motor running?If starter motor is not running due tobattery consumption, charge the battery.If the MIL blinks continously when the main key is on, inquiry to the daelim dealer.

During initial running-in newly machinedsurfaces will be in contact with each otherand these surfaces will wear in quickly. Running-in maintenance at 1,000km isdesigned to compensate for this initialminor wear. Timely performance of the running-inmaintenance will ensure optimum servicelife and performance from the engine. The general rules as follows:

1. Never labour the engine with fullthrottle at low engine speeds. This ruleis applicable not only during running-inbut at all times.

2. Maximum continuous engine speedduring the first 1,000km must notexceed 5,000 rpm.

IF ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED RUNNING-IN

NOTE

Do not run engine idle unreasonably.This not only wastes fuel but alsoadversely affects engine.

If starter button is pressed in gearposition, vehicle may bring out tofall. Make sure gear is in neutralposition prior to starting engine. CAUTION

Running the engine beyond recom-mended maximum engine speed (thebeginning of the tachometer redzone) can damage the engine.

If you must park on a slight incline,aim the front of the vehicle uphill toreduce the possibility of rolling off theside stand or overturning.

1. For normal braking, gradually applyboth the front and rear brakes whiledown shifting to suit your road speed.

2. For maximum deceleration, close thethrottle and apply the front and rearbrakes firmly.

BRAKING

WARNING

If you apply brakes only on frontwheel or rear wheel, vehicle mayslide off sideway and fall. If you apply brakes abruptly duringtravel in rain or on wet road, tiresslide off and may cause accidents.Reduce speed and apply brakecautiously. Avoid repeated brake operation as itmay cause brake temperature to rise,leading to braking effect deterio-ration. When possible, reduce speed orbrake before entering a turn; closingthe throttle or braking in mid-turnmay cause wheel slip. Wheel slipwill reduce control of the motorcycle.

<ENGINE BRAKE>If you turn throttle grip in reverse, enginebrake functions and, if you need strongerbraking, shift gear down from 4th to 3rdand so forth. When you travel on a longdescent or on a sharp descent, useintermittent braking technique and enginebrake simultaneously.

CAUTION

Do not shift to lower gear whiletraveling at an excessive speed as itmay suddenly increase the enginespeed, adversely affect the engineand transmission, and cause the rearpart of the vehicle to be shaken.

The Required Maintenance Schedule specifies how often you should have your motorcycle served, and what things need attention. It is essential that your motorcycle be served as scheduled to retain its high level of safety, dependability, and emission controlperformance.

These instructions are based on the assumption that the motorcycle will be used exclusively for its designed purpose. Sustained highspeed operation, or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service than specified in theMAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. Consult your authorized Daelim dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

● Infiltration of the foreign materials orwater caused by damage of rubberboots (disengagement, tearing, etc.)may cause freezing in winter seasonresulting in faulty operation. It maylead death or serious injury bydecreasing of sudden acceleration andbraking force due to engine rpm.

● If any damage is found, replace withthe new on immediately.

CLEANING● Make sure to stop the engine prior to

car washing.● Be careful not to allow water to enter

the muffler during the washing.Waterinside the muffler may cause animproper engine starting or rustoccurrence.

● Do not let water get inside the brakingsystem during the washing, as waterinside the brake system may weaken thebraking power. Upon completion ofwashing, select a safe place where thereis no traffic obstruction, and start thevehicle.

Lightly apply the brake while driving ata slow speed and check the brakingpower. If the braking power has beenweak-ened, apply brake lightly whiledriving at a slow speed to dry up thebrake system.

● Take precautions when waxing thevehicle. Excessive polish of the paintedsection and/or the resin part withcompound wax might damage thepainted section causing discoloration ofthe affected area.

● Check the installing condition of rubberboots daily. After adjusting the free playof throttle grip never forget to place therubber boots to the original position.

Prior to starting always look around to avoid accident.

Get on the vehicle after pulling back the stand. Start driving slowly after turning on the winker and releasing the brake while ensuring the safety around the vehicle.

STARTING

CAUTION

Return the side stand to its original position. Keepdriving without doing this may cause turnover accident.Drive the vehicle only on the driveway. Driving on thewalkway can cause accident. Also, if the wheel istransformed when advancing directly to the walkway, thevehicle can be overturned resulting in injury of the driverdue to the driving unstability.Overspeed driving on the unpaved road can cause thevehicle to be overturned resulting in injury of the driverdue to the driving unstability.Do not drive in the gravel road. If any gravel enters thewheel or engine case, the vehicle can be overturnedresulting in injury of the driver.If possible, do not drive close to the sea or on the roadwhere calcium chloride is treated.The muffler, external parts and welded parts can becorroded rapidly, and also in case of damage of the frame,the vehicle can be overturned resulting in injury of thedriver.

The basic principle of turn is balancing using the centrifugal force which makes vehicle go outside and the gravity which makes vehicle fall inside.

The centrifugal force increases in inverse portion to the radius of a curve and in portion to the square speed. Decelerate prior to entering the curved way to reduce the centrifugal force.

The basic principle of turn is balancing using combined force of the centrifugal force and the gravity. All 3 positions require straightening the head and keeping the eyes horizontally.

< LEAN-WITH >This is a turning position with motorcycle and driver in a line.This position is the most natural and exact, so driver must learn it thoroughly.

< LEAN-IN >This is a turning position with driver leaned inside more than motorcycle. This position is adequate to drive on the rained or slippy road because it has best road holding.However, special attention is required because front visual field is poor when driver leans inside more than motorcycle.

3 POSITIONS OF TURNING

56

Page 59: Daelim VJF250 Owners Manual

< LEAN-OUT >This is a turning position with motorcycle leaned inside more than driver, which is opposite to the lean-in position. With this position, quick turn is well performed and driver can obtain wide front visual field adequate to drive on the rained or slippy road because it has best road holding. However, special attention is required because there is danger of slipping on the bad holding road.

Turn the throttle grip to its original position and decelerate using both front and rear brakes.Lean the vehicle toward inside of turn circle while driving slowly at constant speed.Accelerate gradually.

Do not drive inside of large truck's turn circle.

< DEAD ANGLE ZONE >Dead angle zone is the sight range which cannot be identified by driver and increases in proportion to the width of the vehicle.

< DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL TURN >It is distance between path of the front and rear wheel and increases in proportion to the length of the vehicle.

Vehicle is braked using friction between road surface and tires.Braking distance increases 1.5 times on wet road and 3 times on icy road because friction force of road surface is decreased.

Due to the inertia, vehicle does not stop immediately after applying the brake.
