Breaking in
Engine
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid driving for long
periods at a constant speed.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing highways if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine run-in speed
<5000 min
-1
(Mileage
0...186 miles (0...300 km))
<6500 min
-1
(Mileage
186...621 miles
(300...1000 km))
Engine run-in speed
no full throttle (Mileage
0...621 miles (0...1000 km))
Have the first break-in service
performed after 300 – 750 mls
(500 - 1200 km).
Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Extension of the braking distance,
accident hazard
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
Loss of adhesion of new tires
on wet roads and at extreme
angles
Accident hazard
Always think well ahead and
avoid extreme angles.
