Breaking in the New Tires
New tires need proper break-in to
assure maximum performance, just as
the engine does. Wear in the tread sur-
face by gradually increasing your cor-
nering lean angles over the first 160 km
(100 miles) before attempting maximum
performance. Avoid hard acceleration,
hard cornering, and hard braking for the
first 160 km (100 miles).
 WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the
tires could cause tire slip and loss of
control.
Use extra care when riding on new
tires. Perform proper break-in of the
tires as described in this section and
avoid hard acceleration, hard corner-
ing, and hard braking for the first 160
km (100 miles).
