Running-in instructions
running-in instructions for engine and
gearbox
CAUTION
Exceeding the running-in speeds incre-
ases the wear of the engine!
In case of engine problems during the
running-in period you should immediately
consult your specialized SFM-dealer.
NOTE
During the running-in period, ride in fre-
quently changing load -and engine speed
ranges. Drive on winding and slightly hilly
routes. Avoid constantly low engine speeds
and full throttle under load.
Maximum top speed in the individual gears
during the running-in period:

CAUTION
Have the fi rst inspection carried out after
the fi rst 1000 km.
Ask your SFM dealer in due time to avoid
unnecessary waiting.
Running-in new tyres
WARNING
New tyres have a smooth surface. They
must therefore be roughened by care-
fully running them in at various slanted
positions.
Only then will the surface obtain its full
grip!
Running-in new brake linings
WARNING
New brake linings must be run-in and
will only reach their full friction power
after the initial 500 km.
The slightly reduced braking effect can
be compensated for by increasing the
pressure on the brake lever.
During this period, avoid unnecessary
hard braking actions!
