Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 54
The Royal Enfield Motorcycle as you would be
experiencing 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.
Do not exceed maximum specified pay load.
2. 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.
3. Avoid full throttle operation and do not ride at
constant throttle continuously. Vary the speed by
10% while riding.
4. It is recommended to use half clutch condition
when commuting in the city traffic condition alone
(Engine RPM around idling to 2000 RPM) at 1st
gear condition. In other gears and higher RPM avoid
using half clutch which will proportionately reduce
RUNNING IN PERIOD
the clutch life. During acceleration / deceleration
disengage the clutch completely, shift the gear and
engage the clutch gradually (Not too slowly).
5. Ride at proper speed and avoid sudden
accelerations and braking.
6. Avoid riding motorcycle continuously for over an
hour, it is recommended to take brief stop.
