Riding the motorcycle
Running-in recommendations
Maximum rotation speed
Rotation speed for running-in period and during
standard use (rpm):
1) Up to 621 mi (1000 km);
2) From 1000 km (621 mi) to 2500 km (1553 mi).
Up to 1,000 Km (621 mi)
During the first 1000 km (621.37 mi), keep an eye on
the rev counter. It should never exceed: 5,500 ÷
(included) 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.
Strict observance of running-in recommendations
will ensure longer engine life and reduce the
likelihood of overhauls and tune-ups.
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 (60 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.
