Riding the motorcycle
Running-in recommendations
Maximum rotation speed
Rotation speed for running-in period and during
standard use (rpm):
1) Up to 621 mi (1000 km);
2) From 1,000 km (621 mi) to 2,500 km (1553 mi).
Up to 1,000 Km (621 mi)
During the first 1000 km (621.37 mi), keep an eye on
the rev counter. It should never exceed: 5,500÷
(included) 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 
running-in of engine, brakes and suspensions.
For the first 100 km (62 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.
So that the mechanical  of the motorcycle can
adapt to each another, and especially so the life of
the basic engine  is not  avoid harsh
accelerations and do not run the engine at a high
rpm for an extended time, especially uphill.
 the drive chain should be inspected
frequently. Lubricate as required.

During the first 1000 km (621 mi) (Running-in
period), i.e. when the Odometer displays a value <=
(lower than or equal to) 1000 km (621 mi), the pre-
warning area, indicated in orange (Orange area),
both for the bargraph filling and the display of the
relevant number, is displayed when reaching 6000
rpm. During the running-in period we recommend
not to exceed 6000 rpm, thus the instrument panel
will not display the bargraph "Orange area".
