VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed should be varied and not held at a
constant speed. This allows the parts to be “loaded”
with pressure and then “unloaded”, allowing the parts
to cool. This aids the mating process of the parts. It is
essential that some stress be placed on the engine
components during running in to ensure this mating
process take place. Do not cause excessive load
though.
USE THE CORRECT ENGINE SPEED
Do not under rev the engine and make it lug or labour
too hard. This will cause stress and overheating. Keep
the engine revving freely but do not exceed the
recommended engine speeds as shown in the
previous table. Do not use wide open throttle for long
periods.
BEFORE RIDING OFF
Allow sufficient idling time for the engine to warm up
and the oil to circulate around the engine before you
head off at speed.
Over revving a cold engine causes excessive wear
and will shorten the life of the engine.
THE FIRST OIL CHANGE
It is recommended that the first oil change should be
500 miles (800km).
During running in all of the engine components will
have worn a little and bedded in. Some service parts
will require adjustment. The dirty oil must be replaced
and adjustments made.
