Running In - APRILIA SCARABEO 200 i.e. Manual

Running in

Engine run-in is essential to ensure engine long life and correct operation. If possible,
ride on roads with lots of bends and/or slopes to test that the engine, suspensions and
brakes perform efficiently.
Follow these indications:
•
Do not twist the throttle grip fully at low rpm whether during or after run-in.
•
0-100 km (0-62 miles) During the first 100 km (62 miles) operate the brakes
with caution to avoid rough and long braking. That is to permit the adequate
adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake disc.
•
0-500 km (0-312 miles) During the first 500 km (312 miles) do not ride the
scooter over 80% of the predetermined maximum speed.
•
Avoid keeping a constant speed along long sections of road.
•
After the first 1000 km (625 miles), gradually increase the speed until the
maximum performance is reached.
CAUTION
ALWAYS SIGNAL CHANGES IN DIRECTION WITH THE APPROPRIATE DEVICES
AND WELL IN ADVANCE, AVOID ABRUPT AND DANGEROUS MANOEUVRES.
TURN OFF THE DEVICES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CHANGE IN DIRECTION.
WHEN OVERTAKING OR BEING OVERTAKEN BY OTHER VEHICLES RIDE WITH
EXTREME CAUTION. WHEN IT RAINS, SPRAY CAUSED BY LARGE VEHICLES
REDUCES VISIBILITY; AIR SHIFTS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL ON YOUR
MOTORCYCLE.
