BREAK-IN (RUNNING-IN) AND
INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING
The opening explains how important proper
break-in is to achieve maximum life and per-
formance from your new Suzuki. The follow-
ing guidelines explain proper break-in
procedures.
MAXIMUM THROTTLE OPENING
RECOMMENDATION
This table shows the maximum recom-
mended throttle opening during the break-in
period.
VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed should be varied and not
held at a constant speed. This allows the
parts to be “loaded” with pressure and then
unloaded, allowing the parts to cool. This
aids the mating process of the parts. It is
essential that some stress be placed on the
engine components during break-in to
ensure this mating process. Do not, though,
apply excessive load on the engine.
