3.1 - PRELIMINARY CONTROLS
Running in period
During the running in period carefully follow the maintenance program as recommended in the
manufacturer's warranty manual. The non compliance of these rules relieve Bimota from any
liability for any damage to the engine and its duration.
Maximum rotation speed up to 1000 km (621 mi)
During the first 1000 km (621 mi) be careful that the tachometer do not exceed 5500÷6000 rpm.
In the first hours ride it is advisable to continuously vary the load and the running of rpm, even
remaining within the indicated speed limit.
For this purpose roads full of turns and also hilly roads are very suitable, where engine, brakes and
suspensions are subject to effective running in. For the first 100 km be careful on brakes avoiding
abrupt and long braking, this to allow the correct settlement of the friction material on the brake
discs. To allow a reciprocal adaptation of all the moving mechanical parts and in particular to not
affect the long term functionality of the main part of the engine it is advisable not to make too
abrupt accelerations and not to keep engine for a long time at high rpm, especially up hill. Besides
it is advisable to often check the chain, taking care to grease it if necessary.
Maximum rotation speed from 1000 to 2500 km (from 621 to 1553 mi)
Higher performance can be demanded to engine, but 7000 rpm must never overcome and you
have to run in the engine in this conditions up to 2500 km (1553 mi) of ride. As much as these
recommendations will be followed the longer will be the engine duration and lower the revisions
and adjustments.
