tively. Vary your driving speed during the run-in. In this way, you allow for the work of
components to be "loaded" and then "unloaded", thus cooling the engine parts. Even
if it is important to "stretch" engine components during the running-in, make sure not
to strain them.
Follow the guidelines detailed below:
•
Do not twist the throttle grip abruptly and completely when the engine is
working at a low revs, either during or after run-in.
•
for the first 3 operating hours, do not exceed 50% of the throttle grip travel
and never go over 8000 rpm,
•
for the next 12 hours, do not exceed 75% of the throttle grip travel.
NOTE
EVEN AFTER THE RUNNING-IN PERIOD, AVOID RUNNING THE ENGINE TO TOP
SPEED, WHEN THE LIMITER CUTS IN:
•
SXV 450 12000 rpm
•
SXV 550 11500 rpm
CAUTION
THE SPEED LIMITER WARNING LIGHT (NOT THE ECU LIMITER) HAS A FAC-
TORY SETTING OF 8000 RPM.
Starting up the engine (03_08, 03_09, 03_10, 03_11, 03_12)
CAUTION
DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS INSIDE THE TOP FAIRING (BETWEEN THE HAN-
DLEBAR AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER), AS THIS MAY IMPEDE THE MOVE-
MENTS OF THE HANDLEBAR AND OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY OF THE INSTRU-
MENTS.
