Breaking in
Engine
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid driving for long
periods at a constant speed.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine run-in speed
<5000 min -1 (Odometer read-
ing 0...746 miles (0...1200 km))
no full throttle (Odometer
reading 0...746 miles
(0...1200 km))
Have first run-in check con-
ducted after 300 ­750 mls
(500 ­1,200 km).
Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads.
