Running in

Engine
Until the running-in check,
vary the throttle opening and
engine-speed range frequently;
avoid riding at constant engine
rpm for prolonged periods.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads.
Comply with the rpm limits for

running in.

Running-in speed
-1
<5000 min (Odometer read-
ing 0...1200 km)
No full load (Odometer reading
0...1200 km)
Note the mileage after which
the running-in check should be
carried out.
Mileage until the first
running-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 re-
duction in braking efficiency by
exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
