Running-In - MOTO GUZZI BREVA V750IE Manual

When approaching a bend, slow down
or brake in good time. Take the bend at
moderate, steady speed or accelerate
slightly. Late braking may put the
vehicle into a skid.
If the brakes are operated continuously
on downhill stretches, the friction
surfaces may overheat, thus reducing
the braking efficiency. Exploit the
engine compression and shift down by
putting on both brakes intermittently.
Never ride downhill with the engine off!
If the road surface is wet or slippery
(snow, ice, mud, etc.), ride slowly, do
not brake or swerve suddenly, or you
may lose grip and fall.

obstacle or variation of the ground.
Uneven road surfaces, rails, inspection
covers, painted signals, construction
site metal covers become slippery in
rainy weather and must be negotiated
carefully, smoothly and keeping the
vehicle upright.
Always signal your intention to change
lanes or direction in good time using
the direction indicators. Avoid sudden
manoeuvres.
Switch off the direction indicators
immediately after changing direction.
Be very careful when overtaking or
being overtaken.
When it rains, large vehicles lift surface

addition, the slip stream may make you
lose control of the vehicle.

RUNNING-IN

The running-in of the engine is essential to
ensure its life and correct operation.
If possible, ride on hilly roads and/or roads
with many bends, so that the engine, the
suspensions and the brakes undergo a
more effective running-in.
During running-in, change speed.
In this way the components are first
"loaded" and then "relieved" and the
engine parts can thus cool down.
Even if it is important to stress the engine
components during running-in, take care
not to exceed.
NOTE
From 2000 km (1243 mi) onward,

performance.
Keep to the following indications:
u Do not open the throttle completely if the
speed is low, both during and after
running-in.
u Until you have covered the first 100 km
(62 mi), use the brakes gently and avoid
harsh, prolonged braking. This ensures
a correct bedding-in of the pads on the
brake disc.
u During the first 1000 km (625 mi) never
exceed 5000 rpm.
