1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
BREAK-lN PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN” before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Initial 800 km : Below 6 000 r/min
Up to 1 600 km : Below 9 000 r/min
Over 1 600 km : Below 12 000 r/min
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation.
However, do not exceed 12 000 r/min at any time.
