BREAK-IN (RUNNING-IN)
INFORMATION FOR YOUR
MOTORCYCLE
The first 1600 km (1000 miles) are the most
important in the life of your motorcycle.
Proper break-in operation during this time
will help ensure maximum life and perfor-
mance from your new motorcycle. Suzuki
parts are manufactured of high quality mate-
rials, and machined parts are finished to
close tolerances. Proper break-in operation
allows the machined surfaces to polish each
other and mate smoothly.
Motorcycle reliability
depend on special care and restraint exer-
cised during the break-in period. It is espe-
cially important that you avoid operating the
engine in a manner which could expose the
engine parts to excessive heat.
