BREAK-IN AND
INSPECTION BEFORE
RIDING
BREAK-IN
The first 20 hours is the most
important in the life of your motor-
cycle. Proper operation during
this break-in period will help
assure maximum life and perfor-
mance from your new motorcycle.
The following guidelines explain
proper break-in procedures.
Maximum Throttle Operation
Recommendation
The table below shows the maxi-
mum throttle operation during the
break-in period.
Up to
20 hours
Vary the Engine Speed
Vary the engine speed during the
break-in period. This allows the
parts to "load" (aiding the mating
process) and
(allowing the parts to cool).
Although it is essential to place
some stress on the engine com-
ponents during break-in, you must
be careful not to load the engine
too much.
Below 4/5
throttle
then "unload"
Allow the Engine Oil to
Circulate before Riding
Allow enough idling time after
warm or cold engine start up
before revving the engine or plac-
ing the transmission in gear. This
allows time for the lubricating oil
to reach all critical engine compo-
nents.
Observe Your Initial and Most
Critical Service
The initial service (break-in main-
tenance) is the most important
service your
receive. During break-in opera-
tion, all of the engine components
will have mated together and
seated. Maintenance required as
part of the initial service includes
correction
tightening of all fasteners and
replacement of dirty oil. Timely
performance of this service will
help make sure you get the best
service life and performance from
the engine.
