For the first 1,000 miles, the motorcycle should be ridden within the running in
procedure (see Owner's Handbook), checking for abnormalities, unusual noises and
for satisfactory operation.
When checking the brakes on road test, a suitable safe place should be found to
carry out the test.
Do not attempt to test the ABS function of the motorcycle's braking system during
road test. The ABS function is for use in emergency situations only. Any attempt to
artificially create an emergency situation is extremely hazardous and could lead to a
collision with a following vehicle or loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Faults detected during road test or post road test inspection, must be rectified
before the motorcycle is released to the customer.
The distance covered on the road test should be long enough to allow a
satisfactory check to be made in the following areas:
