OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS REAR EAU00436 EAU04385 Engine break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 1,000 km (600 mi). For this reason, you should read the following material carefully. Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 1,000 km (600 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided. 8 Railroad crossings, streetcar rails, iron plates on road construction sites, and manhole covers become extremely slippery when wet. Therefore, slow down when approaching such areas and cross them with caution. 8 Keep in mind that braking on a wet road is much more difficult. 8 Ride slowly down a hill, as braking downhill can be very difficult. 0-150 km (0-90 mi) 8 Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3 throttle. 8 After every hour of operation, stop the engine, and then let it cool for five to ten minutes. 8 Vary the engine speed from time to time. Do not operate the engine at one set throttle position. 150-500 km (90-300 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle. 5 cC ECA00117 After 500 km (300 mi) of operation, be sure to replace the final transmission oil. 500-1,000 km (300-600 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle. 5-4
