Running in
Engine
Until the first running-in check,
vary the throttle opening and
engine-speed range frequently;
avoid riding at constant engine
rpm for prolonged periods.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing high-speed main roads and
highways if possible.
Comply with the rpm limits for
running in.
Running-in speed
<5000 min -1
Do not omit the first running-in
check after 500 - 1200 km.
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed
down before they can achieve
their optimum friction levels. You
can compensate for this initial re-
duction in braking efficiency by
exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
New brake pads can extend
stopping distance by a sig-
nificant margin.
Apply the brakes in good time.
