Gilera SMT 50 Manual page 22

THIS PERIOD, THE MECHANISMS OF THE MOBILE PARTS ARE MUTUALLY
HARDENED AND ADAPTED.
- A BETTER RUN-IN IS OBTAINED NOT BY RIDING SLOWLY BUT SOFTLY AND
CAREFULLY. DURING THIS PERIOD, IT IS ADVISABLE TO RIDE THE VEHICLE
AT 3/4 OF MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. IN THE EVENT THAT FULL ACCELERA-
TION IS NECESSARY (OVERTAKING MANOEUVRES, STEEP SLOPES, ETC.)
TRY TO LIMIT THE TIME TO A MINIMUM.
- TRANSMISSION OIL MUST BE CHANGED ONCE THE FIRST 1,000 KM ARE
COVERED. USE THE RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE AND SPECIFIED QUANTITY
ONLY. DURING THE FIRST 1,000 KM, A CHECK AND SET UP MUST BE DONE
IN AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO-GILERA SERVICE CENTRE.
TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF MOBILE PARTS, A LONG LIFE AND
BETTER PERFORMANCE, IT IS NECESSARY NOT TO FORCE THE VEHICLE
DURING THE 500 KM. THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE A SUITABLE RUN-IN PERIOD,
DURING WHICH THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE CONSIDERED:
- AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, WARM IT UP PROGRESSIVELY, WITHOUT
MAXIMUM ACCELERATION (WE RECOMMEND NOT TO EXCEED 3/4 OF THE
THROTTLE GRIP OPENING FOR THE GEAR) OR OVERCHARGE.
- IN LONG STRETCHES, DO NOT USE FULL SPEED CONSISTENTLY. TURN THE
THROTTLE GRIP SOME SECONDS FROM TIME TO TIME.
- WHEN FACING STEEP SLOPES, DOWNSHIFT TO HAVE BETTER POWER.
- AFTER A LONG RUN DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE SUDDENLY, LEAVE IT RUN-
NING AT MINIMUM ACCELERATION FOR SOME SECONDS.
- CHECK THE NON-EXISTENCE OF OIL, FUEL OR BRAKE LIQUID LEAKS.
- IN CASE OF ANOMALOUS NOISE, TRY TO IDENTIFY ITS CAUSE IMMEDIATE-
LY. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE THE CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED
FOR THE FIRST 500 ÷ 1000 KM COVERED.
