Breaking in

Engine
In the period preceding the
initial inspection attempt to
change rpm and engine load as
frequently as possible, avoiding
extended periods at constant
rpm.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine break-in speeds
-1
<5000 min (Mileage
0...621 miles (0...1000 km))
No full throttle (Mileage
0...621 miles (0...1000 km))
Observe mileage, after which
the running-in check should be
performed.
Mileage until running-in
check
311...746 miles
(500...1200 km)
Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Extension of the braking distance,
accident hazard
Brake early.
