RUNNING IN
Engine
Until the 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 riding
during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads.
Comply with the running-in
speeds.
Running-in speeds
<5000 min -1 (Odometer
reading 0...1000 km)
No full load (Odometer read-
ing 0...1000 km)
Note the mileage after which
the running-in check should
be carried out.
Running-in check

initial reduction in braking effi-
ciency by exerting greater pres-
sure on the levers.
