Break-In
The first one hour that the motorcycle is ridden is
designed as the break-in period. If the motorcycle is
not used carefully during this period, you may very
well end up with a “broken down” instead of a “bro-
ken in” motorcycle after the long use.
Do not start moving or race the engine immediately
after starting it, even if the engine is already warm.
Run the engine for two or three minutes at idle speed
to give the oil a chance to work up into all the engine
parts.
Avoid the quick acceleration or starting and drive
prudently for the first one hour of operation. Let the
motorcycle cool completely. The motorcycle is ready
for regular operation after this procedure is carried
out.
