GENERAL INFORMATION
BREAK-IN 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
(
500 miles)
: Below 6 000 r/min
Up to 1 600 km (1 000 miles)
: Below 9 000 r/min
Over
1 600 km (1 000 miles)
: Below 12 500 r/min
•
Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km (1 000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full throt-
tle operation
. However, do not exceed 12 500 r/min at any time
.
