9. VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD
The break-in period for your new ATV is defined as the first 50 hours of
operation.
No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period.
Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and
longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
CAUTION
Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the break-in
period. Excessive heat can build up and cause damage to close fitted engine parts.
Please set a limit to
half throttle during
the break-in periods.
