- Engine running-in
Engine run-in is essential to ensure engine long life and correct operation. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run in engine, brakes and suspensions effectively. Vary your riding speed during the run-in. This ensures that components operate under both "loaded" and "unloaded" conditions, allowing the engine components to cool.
Follow the guidelines detailed below:
Do not twist the throttle grip abruptly and completely when the engine is working at a low
revs, either during or after run-in.
During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake discs.
Caution! The full performance of the vehicle is only available after the service at the end of the run-in period.
