Running-In - MOTO GUZZI V11 Le Mans Betriebsanleitung

RUNNING-IN

The recommendations below should be followed when
running-in:
Before riding, run the engine at low revs until it has
warmed up.
Do not exceed the rpm shown in the table; it is also
advisable to run the engine at varying speeds rather
than at a constant speed.
Before stopping reduce the speed gradually to avoid
subjecting components to sudden changes in tempera-
ture.
Ride carefully for the first 100 km (62 miles) to allow
proper bedding of brake pads. Avoid sudden braking.
Remember that components need several thou-
sand kilometers before they are properly bedded in;
care taken in this period will ensure prolonged vehicle
life.

IMPORTANT
After the first 310/1000 mi (500/1500 km)
have the motorcycle controlled by an authorized
MOTO GUZZI dealer as specified under «1000 mi
(1500 km)» in «MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE» on
page 147 so to avoid injuries to rider/other people
and damages to the vehicle.
Should the oil level drop to the minimum
level before the first 500÷1500 kilometers
have been completed then carry out a complete oil
change rather than just topping up. Recommended
