Running-in recommendations
Important
Before using the motorcycle, check for no labels
on the rear-view mirrors; otherwise remove them.
Maximum rotation speed
Rotation speed for running-in period and during
standard use (rpm):
1) up to 1,000 km (621.37 mi);
2) from 1000 km (621.37 mi) to 2500 km (1553.42
mi).
Up to 1,000 km (621.37 mi)
During the first 1000 km (621.37 mi), keep an eye on
the rev counter. It should never exceed: 5,500÷6,000
rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run
the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within
recommended limit.
To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even
slightly hilly areas are ideal for a most efficient
running-in of engine, brakes and suspensions.
For the first 100 km (62.13 mi) use the brakes gently.
Avoid sudden or prolonged braking. This will allow the
friction material on the brake pads to bed in against
the brake discs.

one another and above all not to adversely affect the
