Engine Break--in Period

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometers), critical engine parts require special wear--in procedures so they

seat and mate properly. Read, understand, and use the following rules for operating the motorcycle during the

first 500 miles (800 kilometers) to ensure your engine’s long--term performance and durability.

Do not put unnecessary load on the engine during the first 500 miles (800 kilometers). Avoid prolonged
full throttle operation, or any condition that creates excessive engine heat.
