Riding Precautions

Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle's future reliability and performance.
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
●
acceleration.
Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
●
Ride conservatively.
●
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking and
●
downshifting.
Sudden braking can reduce the
u
motorcycle's stability.
Where possible, reduce speed before
u
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
●
The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces
u
and braking distances are longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
●
Repeated braking, such as when
u
descending long, steep slopes can seriously
overheat the brakes, reducing their
effectiveness. Use engine braking with
intermittent use of the brakes to reduce
speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
●
front and rear brakes together.
