Running In; Rpm Redline Warning - BMW G 310 GS Rider's Manual

Running in

Engine
Until the running-in check,
vary the throttle opening and
engine-speed range frequently;
avoid riding at constant engine
rpm for prolonged periods.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads.
Comply with the rpm limits for

running in.

Running-in speed
<6000 min -1 (Odometer read-
ing 0...300 km)
No full load (Odometer reading
0...1000 km)
Note the mileage after which
the running-in check should be
carried out.
Mileage until the
running-in check
500...1200 km
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bedded
in before they can achieve their
optimum frictional force. You can
compensate for this initial reduc-
tion in braking efficiency by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Longer stopping distance, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good
time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened
by riding in a restrained manner
at various heel angles until the
tyres are run in. Only once the
surface has been roughened can
the tyres achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet
roads and at extreme bank
angles
Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid ex-
tremely sharp inclines.
