Running-In - Honda CB750F2 Fahrerhandbuch

RUNNING-IN
During initial running-in newly machined
surfaces will be in contact with each other
and these surfaces will wear in quickly.
Running-in maintenance at 1,000km (600
miles) is designed to compensate for this
initial minor wear. Timely performance of
the running-in maintenance will ensure
optimum service life and performance from
the engine.
The general rules are as follows:
1.
Never labour the engine with full throttle
at low engine speeds. This rule is
applicable not only during running-in but
at all times.
2. Maximum continuous engine speed
during the first 1,000 km ( 600 miles)
must not exceed 5,000min-I (rpm).
3. Increase the maximum continuous engine
speed by 2,000 min" (rpm) between
odometer readings of 1,000 km
( 600 miles) and 1,600 km
(1,000 miles). Drive briskly, vary speeds
frequently and use full throttle for short
bursts only. Do not exceed 7,000 min'
(rpm).
4. Upon reaching an odometer reading of
1,600 km 0,000 miles), you can subject
the motorcycle to fun throttle operation.
However, do not exceed 8,600 min-I
(rpm) at any time (tachometer red zone
limit).
CAUTION:
*
Running the engine beyond recom-
mended maximum engine speed
(ta-
chometer red zone) can damage the
engine.
