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.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.

(Odometer read-
ing 0...621 miles (0...1000 km))
no full throttle (Odometer
reading 0...621 miles

Observe mileage, after which
the running-in check should be
performed.

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.
New brake pads can extend
stopping distance by a sig-
nificant margin.
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.
New tires do not provide
full tire traction. Accident
hazards exist in particular on wet
roads and at extreme angles.
Always think well ahead and
avoid extreme angles.
Shifting gears
with gearshift assistance Pro
OE
Pro Gear Shift Assistant
The gearshift assistant provides
help with upward and downward
gear shifts without the clutch or
the accelerator having to be op-
erated. This is not an automatic
transmission. The rider is an es-
sential part of the system and
makes the decision as to when
to change gear.
