Engine break-in period
Motorcycle engines have many parts that make relative movements, such as pistons, piston rings, cylinder blocks,
and meshing transmission gears. Therefore, in the initial stage of use, the engine must be regularly run-in. The
running-in can adapt the moving parts to each other, correct the working gap, and form a good smooth friction
surface that can withstand large loads. After the engine break-in is complete. Engine will have excellent
performance and reliability.
The recommended running-in steps are as follows:
1. 0 ~ 4.5h stage: when using a motorcycle at 50% ~ 75% throttle, the speed should be changed frequently to avoid
the motorcycle running at the same throttle for a long time; after each hour of running, let the engine cool for 5 ~
10 minutes;
Avoid rapid acceleration, and deceleration
.
2, 4.5 ~ 7h stage: work under 50% ~ 75% throttle, at this time, the motorcycle can run at the same throttle for
longer times. While running, the throttle can reach 100%, but for no longer than 5-10 seconds;
3, 7 ~ 10h stage: Use motorcycles at 75% ~ 100% throttle.
4. Above 10h: Increase the speed to 60 ~ 80km / h,
until the engine’s performance is fully utilize
.
Danger:
when driving, please do not accelerate recklessly, this behavior can easily lead to engine damage, accident
and injury.
Vehicle cleaning
Vehicle cleaning is also an important part of the daily use and maintenance of motorcycles. Regular cleaning of
your motorcycle can keep your vehicle in good motion and prolong its service life. Here are the steps you can take
to clean your motorcycle:
1. Plug the exhaust system to prevent water from entering;
2. Seal the switches and connectors with tape;
3. Use low-pressure water spraying device to remove mud and dirt on the surface;
4. Clean especially dirty parts with special motorcycle cleaner;
5. Rinse with low pressure water;
6. Let the motorcycle air dry naturally;
7. Drive the motorcycle for a short time until the engine reaches the working temperature;
8. Lubricate the chain and all other components that need lubrication.
