Breaking in
Engine
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid driving for long
periods at a constant speed.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.

(Mileage

No full throttle (Mileage

Observe mileage, after which
the running-in check should be
performed.

Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Extension of the braking distance,
accident hazard
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various lean angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
Loss of adhesion of new tires
on wet roads and at extreme
angles
Accident hazard
Always think well ahead and
avoid extreme angles.
