Running In - BMW S 1000 RR Rider's Manual

Running 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 run-in speed
<7000 min -1 (Odometer read-
ing 0...186 miles (0...300 km))
<9000 min -1 (Odometer
reading 186...621 miles
(300...1000 km))
no full throttle (Odometer
reading 0...621 miles
(0...1000 km))
Observe mileage, after which
the running-in check should be
performed.
NOTICE
The exceeding of the run-in
speeds is prevented by the
engine management system.
This monitoring function is
not switched off until the first
inspection by your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.

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.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various lean angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
