Running in (02_04)

CAUTION
AFTER THE FIRST 1000 KM (625 MILES) IN OPERATION, PERFORM THE
CHECKS INDICATED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHART TO AVOID
INJURING YOURSELF, OTHERS AND/OR DAMAGING THE VEHICLE.
Engine run-in is essential to ensure engine long life and correct operation. If possible,
ride on roads with lots of bends and/or slopes to test that the engine, suspensions and
brakes perform efficiently.
NOTE
ONLY AFTER THE RUN-IN PERIOD IS IT POSSIBLE TO ATTAIN THE BEST
SPEED AND ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE OF YOUR VEHICLE.
Follow these indications:
•
Do not twist the throttle grip fully at low rpm whether during or after run-in.
•
0-100 km (0-62 miles) During the first 100 km (62 miles) operate the brakes
with caution to avoid rough and long braking. That is to permit the adequate
adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake disc and the shoes to the
rear wheel drum.
•
0-500 km (0-312 miles) Do not keep the throttle grip twisted more than half
its travel during long stretches.
•
500-1000 km (312-625 miles) During the first 1000 km (625 miles) do not
ride the vehicle over 80% of the maximum speed foreseen.
