BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very high
standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to "BREAK-IN" before subjecting the engine to maximum
stresses.
The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life.
The general rules are as follows :
● Keep to these break-in procedures :
Interval
Initial 800 Km (500 miles)
Up to 1,600 Km (1,000 miles)
● Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1,600 km (1,000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle
operation.
● Do not maintain constant engine speed for an extended period during any portion of the break-in.
Try to vary the throttle position.
Maximum throttle opening
Less than 1/2 throttle
Less than 3/4 throttle
