Procedure For Road Running-In - MOTO GUZZI MGS-01 Corsa Workshop Manual

PROCEDURE FOR ROAD RUNNING-IN

Correct engine running-in is essential to ensuring proper performance and durability.
Follow these recommendations:
•
Warm up engine oil over 50°C (the instrument panel alarm goes off)
•
Vary speed frequently during the running-in period.
•
First step: run 20 Km, engine at max. 5000 rpm, throttle max. at 40%
•
After about 5 / 6 Km stop for an overall check for possible leaks or loose parts
• Second step: during the next 30 Km, never exceed 6000 rpm with throttle maximum at 50%
• For another 30 Km, take the engine up to 7000 rpm with throttle maximum at 80%
•
While it is important to put some stress on engine components during running-in, it is equally important to avoid
extreme load conditions.
It is possible to obtain the best performance from your engine only after the first 100 Km, i.e. at the end of
running-in.
NOTE At this point, it is a good rule to change the engine oil and the gearbox fluid and perform an overall check of the
correct tightening of the vehicle nuts and bolts.
NOTE The table containing the mileage intervals for service coupons is to be considered after running-in
