E Riding the motorcycle 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, while keeping within the recommended limit. For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the 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. To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that it is lubricated as required. Running-in precautions Max. rpm (fig. 52) Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use: 1) up to 1000 km; 2) from 1000 to 2500 km. 0 ÷ 1.000 Km 1.000 ÷ 2.500 Km From 1000 to 2500 km At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine, being careful, however, never to exceed 7,000 rpm. fig. 52 58

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, while keeping within the

For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake

acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long,
especially uphill.
It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and
