Running-in the engine

the life of your engine than the period be-

Since the engine is brand new, do not put
an excessive load on it for the rst 1000
km (600 mi). The various parts in the en-
gine adapt themselves creating the correct
operating clearances. During this period,
prolonged full-throttle operation or any
condition that might result in engine over-
heating must be avoided.

Avoid prolonged operation above 5600 r/
min.

the engine oil must be changed and
the oil lter cartridge or element re-
placed.
