• Engine speed can gradually be
increased to the rev limit for short
periods.
Both during and after running-in has been
completed:
• Do not over-rev the engine when
cold.
• Do not let the engine labour. Always
downshift before the engine begins
to 'struggle'.
• Do not ride with engine speeds
unnecessarily high. Changing up a
gear helps reduce fuel consumption,
reduces noise and helps to protect
the environment.
