RUNNING-IN
During
initial running-in
newly
machined
surfaces will be in contact with each other
and
these
surfaces
will wear
in quickly.
Running-in
maintenance
at
1,000km
(600
miles) is designed to compensate
for this
initial minor wear. 'Timely performance of
the
running-in
maintenance
will
ensure
optimum service life and performance from
the engine.
The general rules as follows:
1. Never labour the engine with full throttle
at
low
engine
speeds.
This
rule
is
applicable not only during running-in but
at all times.
2.Maximum
continuous
engine
speed
during the first
1,000 km ( 600
miles)
must not exceed 5,000 min" (rpm).
3. Increase the maximum continuous engine
speed
by
2,000
min*
(rpm)
between
odometer
readings
of
1,000
km
(
600
miles)
and
1,600
km
(1,000 miles). Drive briskly, vary speeds
frequently and use full throttle for short
bursts only. Do not exceed
7,000
min"
(rpm).

4. Upon reaching an odometer reading of
1,600 km (1,000 miles), you can subject
the motorcycle to full throttle operation.
However,
do
not
exceed
9,000
min"
(rpm)
at any time
(tachometer red zone
limit).
CAUTION:
* Running
the
engine
beyond
recom-
mended
maximum
engine
speed
(ta-
chometer red zone) can damage the
engine.
