Break-in

There is never a more important period in the
life of your engine than the period between 0
and 500 km (300 mi). For this reason, you
should read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an
excessive load on it for the first 500 km (300
mi). The various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be avoided.
