4.2. Running-in
CAUTION
Failure to observe the indications provided
below can reduce performance and shorten
the life of the motorcycle.
Running-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 tyres must undergo a proper
running-in period to reach their
complete efficiency. Avoid abrupt
acceleration, turning and braking
during the first 100 km. Failure to
observe these prescriptions can
lead to the sliding of the wheels
and the loss of control of the vehi-
cle with subsequent risk of acci-
dents.
MAX
5500-6000 rpm
