DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Running-in precautions

Max. rotation speed (fig. 40)
Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period
and in normal operation:
1) up to 1000 km;
2) from 1000 to 2500 km.
Up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter.
The indicator must not exceed:
5500-6000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the
engine at varying load and rpm, though still within
recommended limit.
To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even slightly
hilly areas are ideal for a most efficient running-in of
engine, brakes and suspension.
For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not
brake violently or keep brake applied for too long.
This will enable a correct break-in of friction material
on brake pads against brake discs.
For all mechanical moving parts of the motorcycle to
adapt to one another and above all not to adversely
affect the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to
avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at
high rpm for too long, especially uphill.
Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected
frequently. Lubricate it as required.
