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
