Riding Precautions

Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle's future reliability and performance.
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
●
acceleration.
Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
●
Ride conservatively.
●
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking and down-
●
shifts.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle's stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
●
u The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces
and braking distances are longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
●
u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
●
the front and rear brakes together.
