BREAK-IN AND
INSPECTION BEFORE
RIDING
The first 800 km (500 miles) is the
most important in the life of your
motorcycle. Proper operation dur-
ing this break-in period will help
assure maximum life and perfor-
mance from your new motorcycle.
The following guidelines explain
proper break-in procedures.
Maximum Engine Speed
Recommendation
The table below shows the maxi-
mum engine speed recommenda-
tion during the break-in period.
Vary the Engine Speed
Vary the engine speed during the
break-in period. This allows the
parts to “load” (aiding the mating
process) and then “unload”
(allowing the parts to cool).
Although it is essential to place
some stress on the engine com-
ponents during break-in, you must
be careful not to load the engine
too much.
Breaking in the New Tires
New tires need proper break-in to
assure maximum performance,
just as the engine does. Wear in
the tread surface by gradually
increasing your cornering lean
angles over the first 160 km (100
miles) before attempting maxi-
mum performance. Avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and
hard braking for the first 160 km
(100 miles).
Allow the Engine Oil to
Circulate before Riding
Allow enough idling time after
warm or cold engine start-up
before revving the engine or plac-
ing the transmission in gear. This
allows time for the lubricating oil
to reach all critical engine compo-
nents.
Initial 800 km
(500 miles)
Below 5000 r/min
Up to 1600 km
(1000 miles)
Below 7500 r/min
Over 1600 km
(1000 miles)
Below 10500 r/min
WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of
the tires could cause tire slip
and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on
new tires. Perform proper
break-in of the tires as
described in this section and
avoid hard acceleration, hard
cornering, and hard braking for
the first 160 km (100 miles).
