Section 7 Running-in steps
The motorcycle of New seventy model reaches high quality standards, and all the components are made
of high-quality materials. However, before the engine reaches its maximum load, all the moving components
should have a running-in process. It is because the future engine performance and reliability are related to the
initial attentive usage and maintenance. The general rules are as follows:
● Please respect the following engine rotation speed limit during running-in period:
● When the odometer reading reaches 1600 km, the motorcycle can be set to run at full throttle for a short
time. However, the engine rotation speed should not exceed 10500RPM at any time.
● In the running-in period, the engine rotation speed should not be the same for a long time, it should try to
change the position of the throttle.
Change of Engine speed
Do not ride the motorcycle at the same engine rotation speed continuously. You can increase or decrease
the throttle appropriately, which is conducive to the mutual run-in of the components. The engine speed
should not be kept constant, but should be changed frequently, in this way, all components of the engine can
be loaded with pressure, when the pressure is unloaded, all the components of the engine will cool down,
which is good for the cooperation of the components. During the run-in period, it can increase the engine load
appropriately. During the test running, it is important to apply on the engine components some force to ensure
their cooperation. However, the engine should not be overloaded.
Avoiding running at a certain low speed
When the engine is running at a certain low speed (lightly loaded), it can only make the components grinded
smoothly and run-in is not good. As long as the maximal limit of the recommended throttle opening is not
exceeded, all gears can be engaged to accelerate the engine, but during the first 1600 kilometers, it cannot be
increased to the full throttle.
Before riding, it needs to circulate the engine oil first.
After the engine is started in hot and cold states, and before applying load, or before operation, the engine
must be allowed to idle running for sufficient time. In this way, the lubricating oil can flow to all the important
components of the engine, reduce wear and extend the service life, and can also fully warm up the engine.
Performing the first maintenance
The maintenance of the first 1,000 kilometers is the most important work. During the run-in period, all engine
components have been run-in and other parts have also been engaged. At this time, all parts should be
adjusted, all fasteners should be tightened, the contaminated oil should be replaced, and the oil filter element
should be replaced. The timely maintenance inspection of 1000 kilometers will ensure that your engine has a
long service life and has the best performance.
The throttle handle should not be
more than 1/2 turn.
The throttle handle should not be
more than 3/4 turns.
