IMPORTANT
BREAK-IN (RUNNING-IN)
INFORMATION FOR YOUR
MOTORCYCLE
The first 1600 km (1 000 miles) are the
most important in the life of your
motorcycle. Proper break-in operation
during this time will help ensure maxi-
mum life and performance from your
new motorcycle. Suzuki parts are
manufactured of high quality materi-
als, and machined parts are finished
to close tolerances. Proper break-in
operation allows the machined sur-
faces to polish each other and mate
smoothly.
Motorcycle reliability and perfor-
mance depend on special care and
restraint exercised during the break-in
period. It is especially important that
you avoid operating the engine in a
manner which could expose the
engine parts to excessive heat.
Please refer to the BREAK-IN (RUN-
NING-IN) section for specific break-in
recommendations.
