WARNING
New brakes and tires do not op-
erate at their maximum efficiency
until their break-in is completed.
Braking, steering and VSS perfor-
mance may be reduced, so use
extra caution.
Brakes and tires take about 300 km
(200 mi) of riding with frequent
braking and steering to break-in.
For riding with infrequent braking
and steering, allow extra time to
break-in the brakes and tires.
During the first 1 000 km (600 mi):
– Avoid full throttle acceleration.
– Avoid maintaining constant RPM.
– If the cooling fan operates continu-
ously during stop and go traffic, pull
over and shut off the engine to let it
cool off or speed up to let air cool off
the engine.
After the break-in period, your vehicle
should be inspected as per the
TENANCE SCHEDULE

Always use fresh gaso-
line. Gasoline will oxidize; the re-
sult is loss of octane, volatile com-
pounds, and the production of gum
and varnish deposits which can
damage the fuel system.
