Break-In Procedures - Suzuki LT-A700X 2004 Service Manual

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to "BREAK-IN" before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Brake-in engine speeds
Initial 500 km (300 miles): Less than 1/2 throttle
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 500 km (300 miles) you can subject the vehicle to full throttle oper-
ation, for short periods of time.
