Riding the motorcycle
Running-in recommendations
Maximum rotation speed
Rotation speed for running-in period and during
standard use (rpm):
1) Up to 1,000 km (600 mi);
2) From 1000 km (600 mi) to 2500 km (1500 mi).
Up to 1,000 Km (600 mi)
During the first 600 mi (1000 km) keep an eye on the
rev counter, it should never exceed: 5,500÷6,000
rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run
the engine at varying load and rpm, though still
within recommended limit.
To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even
slightly hilly areas are ideal for a most efficient
running-in of engine, brakes and suspensions.
For the first 100 km use the brakes gently. Avoid
sudden or prolonged braking. This will allow the
friction material on the brake pads to bed in against
the brake discs.
For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt
to one another and above all not to adversely affect
the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid
harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high
rpm for too long, especially uphill.
Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected
frequently. Lubricate as required.
