Bedding in new brake
pads
New brake pads must "bed
in" and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 300
miles (500 km).
This slight initial reduction in
braking efficiency can be
compensated for by exerting
greater pressure on the lever.
Try to avoid all unnecessary
hard braking during this initial
period.

Running in
Running-in new tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened
by riding in a restrained man-
ner at various heel angles
until the tires are run-in.
This running-in procedure is
essential if the tires are to
reach their maximum level of
grip.
