Engine running-in steps
Though quality material has been used for motorcycle manufacturing and all components
are conforming to high quality standard, all components and parts shall subject to running-in
process before engine reaching maximum load. The reason behind this is that cooperation of
components has not reached the best status after their assembling. This leads to damping force
of engine and unnecessary mechanical loss. The ideal cooperation can be reached after
operation for some time. In this case, mechanical loss can be minimized, reaching the best status
and bringing the output power to maximum value. As a result, engine performance directly
relates to initial maintenance. Regulation of running-in process is shown as follows:
Please follow the restriction requirements for engine speed in the running-in period below:
Do not fully open the accelerator before the reading of the odometer reaching 1000km.
Attention: the speed shall not exceed 6500 rpm no matter what in running-in period.
During the running-in period, the engine shall not work at the same speed with the same
gear position for a long time. Try to shift gear position and speed to facility running-in of
components.
After 1000km of operation, transmission and crank cases shall be cleaned thoroughly.
