Brutal acceleration during the run in period may cause engine
damage.
All of the moving parts in the engine have been made to a high level
of precision in order to obtain a quality contact surface and correct

However, correct engine care during the first hours of use is vital for
obtaining the best from your motorcycle.
Therefore, we recommend:
- Start the engine and let it run at idle until the engine is thoroughly
warmed up.
- Stop the engine and wait for it to completely cool.

100 Km, use the engine at a moderate speed.

The spark plug may be soiled if the engine is used at a low
speed during the running in period. If this occurs then replace
