Idle Speed
Engine idle speed is controlled electronically and is not adjustable. Typical idle speed will be 1,000 to 1,050 RPM after engine warm-up.
Do not idle engine more than five minutes with motorcycle stationary. Overheating may result.
Oil Pressure
Minimum hot (200° F) oil pressure is 8psi at idle and 40psi at 2800 rpm.
Altitude
The S&S Variable Fuel Injection system will automatically adjust for changes in altitude from sea level to 10,000 feet. No other adjustments are
needed.
Break-In
During the first 500 miles of operation, critical parts are “breaking-in” against each other. For this reason:
1- Avoid excessive heat build-up. Do not allow engine to idle for long periods of time.
2- Keep the outside of the engine clean.
3- Do not subject engine to unusual stress or load such as with sidecar or trailer.
4- Avoid hard acceleration until the engine is warmed up.
5- Do not lug the engine. Vary the engine speed; avoid maintaining a steady speed for long distances.
First 50 Miles (80 Kilometers) –
1- Ride very conservatively.
2- Keep the engine speed below 2,500 RPM.
3- Change the oil and filter at 50 miles (80 kilometers).
Up to 500 Miles (800 Kilometers) –
1- Avoid lugging the engine or maintaining a steady RPM for long periods.
2- Keep the engine speed below 3,500 RPM.
3- Change the oil and filter at 500 miles (800 kilometers).
Up to 1,000 Miles (1,600 Kilometers) –
1- Ride normally, be conservative.
2- No harsh treatment such as drag races, burnouts, or dyno runs.
3- Change the oil and filter at 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers).
During the break-in period the ECU will automatically limit engine RPM in 2 stages during the first 20 hours of engine operation. During the first 2
hours of operation the engine rev limiter is 4250 RPM. From 2 hours to 20 hours of engine operation the rev limit is 5125 RPM. After 20 hours the rev
limit is set at the engines maximum RPM of 5800 RPM.
Pre-ride Checklist
Before riding, or with each tank of gas, confirm that your motorcycle is in good operating condition. The motorcycle owner’s manual has specific
information regarding this subject.
To insure safe, reliable engine operation:
1- Check oil level in oil tank.
2- Check for oil and fuel leaks.
Starting and Warm-Up
General:
1- Before starting engine, shift transmission into neutral.
2- Never allow engine to exceed 2,500 RPM immediately after cold start. Engine should be run slowly for 15 to 30 seconds. This allows the engine
to warm up and oil to reach all surfaces requiring lubrication.
3- Use oil meeting recommendations found in maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual for expected ambient temperature range and type of
operation.
Cold, warm, or hot engine:
1- Close throttle.
2- Turn key to IGNITION.
3- Turn Engine-Stop switch to RUN. Check engine light will briefly light
4- After check engine light goes out push start button.
