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, avoid-
ing high-speed main roads and
highways if possible.
Comply with the running-in
speeds.
Running-in speed
<6500 min
-1
(Odometer read-
ing 0...1200 km)
Running-in speed
No full load (Odometer reading
0...1200 km)
Note the mileage after which
the running-in check should be
carried out.
Mileage until the first
running-in check
500...1200 km
Brake pads
New brake pads have to be run
in before they can achieve their
optimum friction levels. The
reduced braking effect can be
compensated for by greater pres-
sure on the brake lever.
