RIEJU MARATHON 250, Owner'S Manual

Page: 94 / 147

RUNNING IN
The most important period of your mortorbike’s life is between 0 and 500 kilometres and because of this we
ask you to read the following instructions carefully. In the first 500 kilometres, the mortorbike must not be
overworked as the motor is new and the different parts of the motor have to wear in, until it works perfectly.
During this period, avoid prolonged use of the mortorbike at high revolutions or in conditions that could cause
overheating.
ACCELERATION
Riding speed and acceleration is controlled by opening or closing the throttle. Operating the twist grip
toward you increases the speed and away from decreases the engine revolutions.
TO BRAKE (SLOWING DOWN)
Close the throttle; activate the front and rear brakes simultaneously, increasing the pressure progressively.
NOTE: Sudden braking can cause skidding
