Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling. 5. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle. 6. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 72. 7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter after one hour of operation, or after using the first tank of fuel. 71
