4.2 Break-in
CAUTION
Failure to observe the indications provided
below can reduce performance and shorten
the life of the motorcycle.
Break-in is generally considered to apply only to the
engine. In fact, it should be regarded as an essential
phase for other important parts such as the tyres, the
brakes and the drive chain. During the very first miles,
adopt a relaxed riding style.
0 to 500 km (0 to 300 mi) (A)
Frequently change the engine speed. If possible, prefer
hilly routes with gentle slopes and many bends. Avoid
long straight stretches.
WARNING: New tires are some-
times coated with a mold release
agent which makes them slippery.
Abrupt acceleration, sharp turning
or hard braking could cause you
to lose control of your motorcycle.
Ride at reduced speeds and exer-
cise extreme caution during the
first 100 Km (62 miles) when the
motorcycle is new and after the
replacement of a tire.
MAX
5500-6000 rpm
