Break-In - HYOSUNG MS3 250 Owner's Manual

BREAK-IN

The opening explains how important
proper break-in is to achieve maximum life
and performance from your new Hyosung.
The following guidelines explain proper
break-in procedures.
★ ★ MAXIMUM THROTTLE OPENING
RECOMMENDATIONS
The table below shows the maximum
throttle opening recommendation during the
break-in period.
Initial 800km (500miles)
Up to 1,600km (1,000miles)
★ ★ AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED
Operating the engine at constant low
speed(light load) can cause parts to glaze
and not seat in. Allow the engine to acceler-
ate freely through the gears, without
exceeding the recommended maximum
limits. Do not, however, use full throttle for
the first 1,600km (1,000 miles).
★ ★ VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed should be varied and
not held at a constant speed.
This allows the parts to be "loaded"with
pressure and then unloaded, allowing the
parts to cool.
This aids the mating process of the parts.
It is essential that some stress be placed
on the engine components during break-in
to ensure this mating process.
Do not, though, apply excessive load on
the engine.
Less than 1/2 throttle
Less than 3/4 throttle
★ ★ BREAKING IN THE NEW TIRES
New tires need proper break-in to assure
maximum performance, just as the engine
does.
Wear in the tread surface by gradually
increasing your cornering lean angles over
the first 160km (100miles) before attempt-
ing maximum performance. Avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and hard
braking for the first 160km (100miles).
WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the tires
could cause tire slip and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on new
tire. Perform proper break-in of the
tire as described in this section and
avoid hard acceleration, hard corner-
ing, and hard braking for the first
160km (100miles).
★ ★ ALLOW THE ENGINE OIL TO CIR-
CULATE BEFORE RIDING
Allow sufficient idling time after warm or
cold engine start up before applying load or
revving the engine. This allows time for the
lubricating oil to reach all critical engine
components.
★ ★ OBSERVE YOUR FIRST, AND MOST
1,000km SERVICE
The 1,000km (600miles) service is the
most important service your motorcycle will
receive.
During break-in procedures, all of the
engine components will have worn in and
all of the other parts will have seated in.
All adjustments will be restored, all fasten-
ers will be tightened, and the dirty engine oil
will be replaced.
Timely performance of the 1,000km
(600miles) service will ensure optimum ser-
vice life and performance from the engine.
