Honda CB360 - Motorcycle Break-in Procedure; Riding the Motorcycle

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE wm
The motorcycle should not be exposed to
severe or abusive riding conditions.
А careful break-in period will measurably
extend the service life of the engine.
It is recommended that for the first 600
miles (1,000 km), the motorcycle should
not be operated in excess of 80% of the
maximum RPM in any gear.
RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE
. After the engine has been warmed up,
the motorcycle is ready for riding.
. While the engine is idling, pull in the
clutch lever and press the gear
change pedal to shift into low (18)
gear.
. Slowly release the clutch lever and at
the same time gradually increase
engine speed by opening the throttle.
Coordination of the throttle and
clutch lever will assure a smooth posi-
tive start.
. When the motorcycle attains the ap-
propriate speed, close the throttle, pull
in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd
gear by raising the gear change pedal.
Release the clutch lever smoothly.
. This sequence is repeated to pro-
gressively shift to 3rd, 4th, 5th and
top (6th) gear.
