Up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter.
The indicator should never exceed:
5500-6000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to vary the
load and rpm continuously, though still keeping within the
above limits.
In this connection, roads with numerous bends and hilly
areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and
suspension effectively.
For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Avoid sudden
or prolonged braking. This will allow the friction material on
brake pads to settle correctly against the brake discs.
To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle
to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of
the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid
sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm
for too long, especially uphill.
It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and
lubricate it as required.
From 1000 to 2500 km
You can take more power from the engine, but you should
never go above 7000 rpm.
