BREAKING IN THE NEW TIRES

New tires need proper break-in to as-

sure maximum performance, just as

the engine does. Break-in the tread

surface

by gradually increasing your

cornering lean angles over the first

160

(100

miles) before attempting

maximum performance. Avoid hard ac-

celeration, hard cornering, and hard

braking for the first

160

(100

miles).

A 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).

AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED

Operating the engine at constant low

speed (light load) can cause parts to

glaze and not seat in. Allow the en-

gine to accelerate freely through the

gears, without exceeding the recom-

mended maximum limits. Do not, how-

ever, use full throttle for the first

1600

km (1000 miles).

ALLOW THE ENGINE

OIL

CIRCULATE BEFORE RIDING

Allow sufficient idling time after warm

or cold engine start up before apply-

ing load or revving the engine. This

allows time for the lubricating oil to

reach all critical engine components.

OBSERVE YOUR FIRST AND

MOST CRITICAL SERVICE

The initial service (1000 km mainte-

nance) is the most important service

your motorcycle will receive. During

break-in operation, all of the engine

components will have mated together

and seated. Maintenance required as

part of the initial service includes cor-

rection of all adjustments, tightening

of all fasteners and replacement of

dirty oil. Timely performance of this

service will help make sure you get

the best service life and performance

from the engine.

NOTE: The 1000 km (600 miles) ser-

vice should be performed as outlined

in the INSPECTION AND

MAINTE-

NANCE section of this Owner's

Manual. Pay particular attention to the

CAUTION and WARNING in that sec-

tion.
