4.2 Running-in
CAUTION
Failure to observe the indications provided
below can reduce performance and shorten
the life of the motorcycle.
Running-in is generally considered to apply only to the
engine. In fact, it should be regarded as an essential
phase for other important parts such as the tires, the
brakes and the drive chain. During the very first miles,
adopt a relaxed riding style.
❏ 0 to 500 km (0 to 300 mi) (A)
Frequently change the engine speed. If possible, prefer
hilly routes with gentle slopes and many bends. Avoid
long straight stretches.
WARNING
New tires must undergo a proper
running-in period to reach their
complete efficiency. Avoid abrupt
acceleration, turning and braking
during the first 100 km (62 miles).
Failure to observe these prescrip-
tions can lead to the sliding of the
wheels and the loss of control of
the vehicle, with upset, subsequent
serious injury and even death.
MAX
5500-6000 rpm
