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 (621 mi);
2) From 1000 (621 mi) to 2500 km (1553 mi).
Up to 1,000 Km (621 mi)
During the first 1000 km (621 mi), 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 (61 mi) 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.
So that the mechanical parts of the motorcycle can
adapt to each another, and especially so the life of
the basic engine parts is not affected, avoid harsh
accelerations and do not run the engine at a high
rpm for an extended time, especially uphill.
Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected
frequently. Lubricate as required.
