Running in

Engine
In the period preceding the
initial inspection attempt to
change rpm and engine load as
frequently as possible, avoiding
extended periods at constant
rpm.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing highways if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine run-in speed
<5000 min -1
Observe mileage, after which
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.
