Running-in Operation
That correct running-in operation is important to prolong the service life and making the best of a new
motorcycle. This chapter provides the correct methods of running-in operation.
Maximum Speed
The maximum speed limits for a new motorcycle during the running-in period are shown as below.
First 1,000km
To 2,000km
Over 3,000 km
Less than 5,000 rpm
Less than 7,500 rpm
Less than 10,000 rpm
Vary the Engine Speed
The engine speed should be changed often, instead of being kept steady, so that each component of the engine
acquires a “loaded” pressure. When the pressure is “unloaded”, the components will be cooled down. Such
process contr ibutes to the engagement of the components. In order to ensure a fine fitness, it's important to give
a load to each of the component in the trial riding. But mind that the engine must not be overloaded.
Avoid Constant Low Speed
When the engine is running at a constant low speed, the components will be polished well but will not be fitted
well. You may engage to different gears to speed up, provided that the above speed limits are not exceeded.
However, during the first 2,000 km, never turn the throttle to the maximum position.
