Mileage until the run-
ning-in check
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 reduction in braking effi-
ciency by exerting greater pres-
sure 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 man-
ner at various heel angles until
the tyres are run in. This run-
ning in procedure is essential
if the tyres are to achieve max-
imum 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.
