Phase 2
Checking the diagnosable sys-
tem components while driving.
So that the DTC self-diagnosis
can be completed, the mo-
torcycle must be driven at a
speed of at least 3 mph (5 km/
h).
DTC warning light flashes
slowly.
DTC self-diagnosis
completed
The DTC symbol is no longer
displayed.
If a DTC error is indicated after

Breaking in

The first 620 mls
(1,000 km)
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid driving for long
periods at a constant speed.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine run-in speed
<7000 min -1 (Odometer
reading 0...186 miles
(0...300 km))

<9000 min (Odometer
reading 186...621 miles
(300...1000 km))
no full throttle (Odome-
ter reading 0...621 miles
(0...1000 km))
Have the first inspection carried
out after 300 - 750 mls (500 -
1200 km).
Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
