Breaking In The New Tires; Avoid Constant Low Speed - Suzuki GSX1300BK Owner's Manual

BREAKING IN THE NEW TIRES

New tires need proper break-in to assure
maximum performance, just as the engine
does. Wear in the tread surface by gradually
increasing your cornering lean angles over
the first 160 km (100 miles) before attempt-
ing maximum performance. Avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and hard brak-
ing 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 cornering, and hard
braking for the first 160 km (100 miles).

AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED

Operating the engine at constant low speed
(light load) can cause parts to glaze and not
seat in. Allow the engine to accelerate freely
through the gears, without exceeding the
recommended maximum limits. Do not,
however, use full throttle for the first 1600
km (1000 miles).
