WARNING
Pay very close attention to any obstacles
or variations of the road surface. Uneven
roads, rails, manhole covers, painted
traffic stripes, traffic dots all become
slippery when wet. Avoid particularly
steel plates which are sometimes used
during road maintenance. They become
more slippery than ice once they are wet
by rain or other water source. If you must
ride on such surfaces, decrease your
speed and operate the throttle, brakes
and steering very gently.
Always use the turn indicators any time
you intend to change lanes or change
direction, and avoid sudden or abrupt
turning.
Switch off the turn indicators as soon
as you have changed direction.
Overtake and pass with care, especially
in rainy weather when a water cloud
created by larger vehicles reduces
visibility and the slip stream could
cause you to lose control of your
vehicle.
RUNNING-IN
The internal parts of the engine and
transmission must be properly run-in to
ensure their long life and dependable
operation.
If possible, while breaking in your vehicle,
ride on hilly roads and/or roads with many
curves so that the engine and transmission
undergo lots of speed changes. It is also
important that, during the run-in period, the
suspension and brakes be treated gently to
allow the mating parts to bed.
Therefore, avoid harsh braking, high
speeds or very bumpy roads during the
break-in period.
NOTE
Only after the first 900 mi (1,500
km) of running-in you can expect the best
performance from the vehicle.
During break-in, observe the following
rules:
u
Do not open the throttle abruptly or fully
at low engine speed. This rule applies
even after break-in has been completed.
u
During the first 60 mi (100 km), apply the
brakes with caution, avoid sudden and
prolonged braking. This ensures correct
bedding-in of the pads on the discs.
u
During the first 600 mi (1,000 km), never
exceed 6,000 rpm.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been operated for
600 mi (1,000 km) perform the “checking
operations” shown in the column labeled
“After running-in” of the REGULAR
SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see page
81. Rectify any faults found. Failure to
observe this warning could lead to
damage to your vehicle or engine seizure
or other malfunction which could cause
an upset and result in serious injury or
even death.
u
Between the first 600 mi (1,000 km) and
900 mi (1,500 km) drive more briskly,
changing speed and using maximum
acceleration for only a few seconds.
Never exceed 7,500 rpm.
u
After the first 900 mi (1,500 km) if you
h ave fo l l owe d t h e a b ove b r e a k - i n
schedule, the engine should be fully
broken in, and will deliver maximum
performance. However, never exceed
the maximum allowed rpm (11,000 rpm).
