Running in

The first 1000 km
While running in the motor-
cycle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid riding at constant
engine rpm for prolonged peri-
ods.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing high-speed main roads and
highways if possible.
Comply with the rpm limits for

running in.
