RUNNING-IN
The recommendations below should be followed when
running-in:
■
Before riding, run the engine at low revs until it has
warmed up.
■
Do not exceed the rpm shown in the table; it is also
advisable to run the engine at varying speeds rather
than at a constant speed.
■
Before stopping reduce the speed gradually to avoid
subjecting components to sudden changes in tempera-
ture.
■
Remember that components need several thousand
kilometers before they are properly bedded in; care
taken in this period will ensure prolonged vehicle life.
After the first 500÷1500 km
■
Change the engine oil.
Should the oil level drop to the minimum level before
the first 500÷1500 kilometers have been completed
then carry out a complete oil change rather than just
topping up. Recommended oil:
«Agip 4T RACING SAE 5W/40».
■
Replace gear lubrication oil.
■
Replace transmission box lubrication oil.
■
Check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
■
Check tyre pressures.
