RUNNING-IN INSTRUCTIONS
The component surfaces of a new motorcycle, despite precision machining, are not as smooth as the components of motorcycles that have
been running for a long time. This is why running-in a new motorcycle is so important.
For optimal settling of moving parts, a new motorcycle must be brought to its maximum performance gradually.
The main rules to follow are:
1. After cold start, warm up the engine for about 3 minutes before starting to use the motorcycle.
2. During the first 3 hours of use (1 hour for competitive use) the engine must be used only up to a maximum of 50% of its power. Plus, the
number of revs must not exceed 6500 rpm.
3. During the subsequent 5 hours of use (1 hour for competitive use) the engine can be used up to a maximum of 75% of its power. Ride
the motorcycle under a variety of conditions (road, easy off-road stretches). Do not go on long journeys without ever closing the throttle.
Gradually increase and reduce throttle opening, alternating acceleration and deceleration with short periods at constant speed.
Make sure that the coolant does not reach temperatures that are too high (indicated by fluid leaking from the bleeder hose).
By following these rules, you will obtain maximum performance and longer engine life.
It is essential that you carry out the operations described in the “Maintenance Schedule” during the running-in period.
Be particularly careful when replacing oil as metal particles that can detach from the surfaces of engine parts in contact during running-in
circulate in the oil and are deposited in the cap with magnet. Therefore, replacing oil and cleaning the cap with magnet allows these particles
to be definitively removed from the engine.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
In order to drive safely, the motorcycle must be in good condition and well maintained. It is good practice to perform a general check on the
motorcycle before every use.
It must include the following checks:
- 2 stroke oil and fuel level check (EN - SMR)
- brake fluid level check;
- coolant level check;
- brakes correct operation check;
- brakes pipes and pads condition check;
- steering check, turning handlebar all the way in both directions;
- tires pressure and condition check;
- chain tension check;
- flexible cable controls check and adjustment if necessary;
- if carrying luggage, check that it is secured.
- Start the engine: check that the instrument display lights up and;
- turn on the high beam and check that the relative indicator comes on;
- activate the turn signals and check that the relative indicators come on;
- check that the rear brake light comes on;
- check that the horn works;
- check that after starting the “ ” “Engine fault” indicator does not come on.
N.B.: For checks and any adjustments necessary, see the Maintenance section.
