Break-in

CAUTION
Failure to observe the indications provided
below can reduce performance and shorten
the life of the motorcycle.
Break-in is generally considered to apply only to the
engine. In fact, it should be regarded as an essential
phase for other important parts such as the tyres, the
4
brakes and the drive chain. During the very first miles,
adopt a relaxed riding style.
J 0 to 500 km (0 to 300 mi) (A)
Frequently change the engine speed. If possible, prefer
hilly routes with gentle slopes and many bends. Avoid
long straight stretches.
OPERATION
- 64 -
5500-6000 rpm
WARNING: New tires are some-
times coated with a mold release
agent which makes them slippery.
Abrupt acceleration, sharp turning
or hard braking could cause you
to lose control of your motorcycle.
Ride at reduced speeds and exer-
cise extreme caution during the
first 100 Km (62 miles) when the
motorcycle is new and after the
replacement of a tire.
