RUNNING IN PERIOD
The Himalayan Motorcycle is capable of consistent high
Royal Enfield Himalayan
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 km of run, do not exceed the
speed limits as shown in the table below.
2. Do not exceed maximum specified pay load.
3. Warm up the engine for a few minutes at idling speed
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.
5. Avoid sudden accelerations and racing starts.
6. Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary speed
occasionally.
