Running In; Side View Assist - BMW C 650 GT Rider's Manual

Running in

Engine
Until the running-in check,
vary the engine load range fre-
quently as you ride.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing high-speed main roads and
highways if possible.
Do not omit the running-in
check after 500 - 1200 km.
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed
down before they can achieve
their optimum friction levels. You
can compensate for this initial re-
duction in braking efficiency by
exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
WARNING
New brake pads

Longer stopping distance, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good
time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in pro-
cedure is essential if the tyres are
to achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet
roads and at extreme bank
angles
Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid ex-
tremely sharp inclines.
