RUNNING IN PERIOD
5. Avoid sudden accelerations and racing starts.
6. Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary speed
occasionally.
The Himalayan Motorcycle is capable of consistent high
speeds. However as with any new motorcycle, a “RUNNING-
IN PERIOD” procedure is essential to help in proper “Bedding-
In” of the various moving parts in your motorcycle and to
achieve optimum performance subsequently.
1. During the first 2000 Kms / 1243 miles of run, do not
exceed the speed limits as shown in the table below.
2. Do not exceed maximum specified payload.
3. Warm up the engine for a few minutes as idling sped to
allow engine oil to lubricate all the moving parts in the
engine before riding the motorcycle.
4. Avoid full throttle operation and do not ride at constant
throttle continuously. Vary the speed by 10% while
riding.
