BREAK-IN
During initial break-in, newly machined
surfaces will be in contact with each other
and these surfaces will wear in quickly.
Break-in maintenance at 600 miles (1000
km) is designed to compensate for this
initial minor wear. Timely performance of
the break-in maintenance will ensure
optimum service life and performance
from the engine.
The general rules as follows:
1.
Never lug the engine with full throttle at
low engine speeds. This rule is
applicable not only during break-in but
at all times.
2.
Maximum continuous engine speed
during the first 1000 km (600 miles)
must not exceed 4000 rpm.
3.
Increase the maximum continuous
engine speed by 2000 rpm between
odometer readings of 1000 km (600
miles) and 1600 km (1000 miles). Drive
briskly, vary speeds frequently and use
full throttle for short bursts only. Do not
exceed 6000 rpm.
4.
Upon reaching an odometer reading of
1600 km (1000 miles), you can subject
the motorcycle to full throttle operation.
However, do not exceed 8500 rpm at
any time (tachometer RED ZONE limit).
CAUTION:
* The red zone indicates the maximum
limits of engine speed and running the
engine in the red zone may adversely
affect its service life.
