Directions for use

Running-in recommendations

(fig. 48)
Maximum rpm
Rotation speed for running-in period and during standard use
(rpm):
1) up to 1000 km;
2) from 1000 to 2500 km.
Up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the revolution
meter. The indicator must not exceed:
5500-6000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the
engine at varying load and rpm, though still within
recommended limit.
To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even slightly hilly
areas are ideal for a most efficient running-in of engine,
brakes and suspensions.
For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake
violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a
correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against
brake discs.
For all mechanical moving parts to adapt to one another and
above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts,
it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the
engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.
Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected frequently.
Lubricate as required.
