Breaking In

The proper care of your motorcycle during the first
kilometers of usage will considerably increase its
service life and improve its performance.
• During the first 1,000 km (600 miles), avoid full
throttle start and sudden acceleration.
• During this period, do not subject the engine to
excessive load and use the proper gear to prevent
unnecessary strain on the engine.
• Do not ride the motorcycle for long periods at
constant speed.
• Keep the engine from running at excessive low or
high speeds.
• During the first 1,000 km (600 miles), apply the
brakes smoothly. This will not only increase service
life, but also ensure their future effectiveness.
Avoid sudden braking.
These recommendations are not only for the breaking
in period, but at all times.
ATTENTION
Running the engine at excessive speed may cause
serious damage.
