Breaking in

Engine
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid driving for long
periods at a constant speed.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine break-in speeds
<5500 min -1 (Odometer read-
ing 0...124 miles (0...200 km))
<6500 min -1 (Odometer
reading 124...249 miles
(200...400 km))

<7500 min (Odometer
reading 249...373 miles
(400...600 km))
briefly maximum engine
speed (Odometer
reading 373...559 miles
(600...900 km))

the running-in check should be
performed.
Mileage until first
running-in check
311...746 miles
(500...1200 km)
Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads.
Extension of the braking distance.
Accident hazard.
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
