maximum life and performance
from your new Suzuki. The follow-

VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed should be var-
ied and not held at a constant
speed. This allows the parts to be
"loaded" with pressure, and then
unloaded, allowing the parts to
cool. This aids the mating process
of the parts. It is essential that
some stress be placed on the
engine components during break-
in to ensure this mating process.
Do not, though, apply excessive
load on the engine.

BREAKING IN THE NEW TIRES
New tires need proper break-in to
assure maximum performance,
just as the engine does. Wear in

 WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of
the tires could cause tire slip
and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on
new tires. Perform proper
break-in
described in this section and
avoid hard acceleration, hard
cornering, and hard braking for
the first 160 km (100 miles).
AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED
Operating the engine at constant
low speed (light load) can cause
parts to glaze and not seat in.
Allow the engine to accelerate
freely through the gears, without
exceeding
maximum limits. Do not, however,
use full throttle for the first
1600 km (1000 miles).
