Engine break-in
There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,600 km
(1,000 mi). For this reason, you
should read the following material
carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,600 km (1,000 mi). The various
parts in the engine wear and polish
themselves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, pro-
longed full-throttle operation or any
condition that might result in engine
overheating must be avoided.

throttle.
1,000-1,600 km (600-1,000 mi)

throttle.
