Running in Period
Running in the Cruiser400 is vital to the overall health and
longevity of the bike. The first 1000kms is the most important
period for properly running in the Cruiser400.
Properly running in your Cruiser400 will impose stress on every
engine part
How to run your Cruiser400 in properly:
Change the speed frequently
Do not hold the RPM above 5000/6000 for extended periods
Stick to the cleaning and servicing guidelines outlined in this
manual.
Circulate the engine before riding hard
After starting the engine in a hot or cold state, and before exerting
load, you must ensure that the engine has warmed up. We recommend
riding it slowly for a few hundred meters NOT letting it sit idling
as we believe motorcycles need the airflow around them when
running including when warming it up
Perform the first but also the most important
maintenance.
Maintenance in the initial 800- 1000km is the most important of
all.
Perform all the adjustments well, tighten all the fasteners and replace
the oil. Timely maintenance will ensure that
the engine has good
performance and longer service life.
