Running in

The first 600 miles
(1,000 km)
While running in the mo-
torcycle, vary the throttle
opening and engine-speed
range frequently.
OE
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period
on twisting, fairly hilly roads,
avoiding high-speed main
roads and highways if pos-
sible.
Exceeding the specified
engine speeds while run-
ning in will lead to increased
engine wear.
Adhere to the specified en-
gine run-in speeds.
Do not exceed the engine
run-in speeds.
Engine run-in speeds
-1
4000 min
Do not accelerate at full
throttle.
Avoid low engine speeds at
full load.
After 300 - 750 miles (500 -
1,200 km), have the first in-
spection performed.

duction in braking efficiency
