6-10 Operation
not put an excessive load on it for the first
several hours of running.
During the first 25 hours, the various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might result
in excessive engine heating must be avoided.
However, momentary (2-3 seconds
maximum) full throttle operation under load
does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest
period for the engine by cruising at lower
RPM so the engine can rid itself of the
temporary build-up of heat. If any
abnormality is noticed during this period,
consult a dealer.
0-10 Hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half
throttle. Allow a cooling off period of five to
ten minutes after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the vehicle from time to
time. Do not operate it at one set throttle
position.
10-25 Hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle.
Rev the vehicle freely but do not use full
throttle at any time.
After break-in:
The vehicle can now be operated normally.
Brake System Break-in
Apply only moderate braking force for the
first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful
braking when the brake system is new could
damage brake pads and rotors.
