Inspection and Adjustment after the Breaking-in Period
When you get a new motorcycle, you need to take care of it during the break-in period (the first 500 miles on the odometer).
How well you break in your new motorcycle affects how long it will last. The break-in period is when the new parts of your
motorcycle get used to working together and become smoother and more efficient. After the break-in period is over, you should
have your motorcycle checked and adjusted to make sure everything is working properly and to get the best performance and
durability out of your bike. Some of the main things to check and adjust are:
1. Bearing adjustment
After the break-in period, the bearings will work better under pressure and the surfaces of the balls and the races will fit
together more smoothly and evenly, but you need to adjust the clearance as needed.
2. Adjustment of brake system
After using your motorcycle for a while, the different parts of the brake system will work better together, especially the brake
pads and the brake disc will match up more closely after breaking in. To make sure you can stop safely, you need to adjust the
amount of slack in the brake lever and make sure the brake system has good pressure.
3. Fastener adjustment
After the break-in period, some of the bolts or nuts might get loose from the bumps and vibrations of riding, so you need
to check and tighten them regularly to keep your motorcycle running smoothly.
