Engine Break-In; Parking - Yamaha FJR1300AS Owner's Manual

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
5
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400
r/min.
EAU16841
CAUTION:
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil and final gear oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.

Parking

WARNING
Always stop the engine using
the main switch. When the en-
gine stop switch has been used
in an emergency, be sure to ap-
ply the front or rear brake while
the main switch is still on, as the
clutch automatically disengag-
es a few seconds after the en-
gine is turned off, and the rear
wheel will move freely.
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them.
