BREAK-IN
During initial break-in, newly machined
surfaces will be in contact with each other and
these surfaces will wear in quickly. Break-in
maintenance at 600 miles (1,000 km) is
designed to compensate for this initial minor
wear. Timely performance of the break-in
maintenance will ensure optimum service life
and performance from the engine.
The general rules are as follows:
1 Never lug the engine with full throttle at low
engine speeds. This rule is applicable not only
during break-in but at all times.
2 Maximum continuous engine speed during the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) must not exceed
5,000 rpm.
3 3.Increase the maximum continuous engine
speed by 2,000 rpm between odometer
readings of 600 miles (1,000 km) and 1,000
miles (1,600 km). Drive briskly, vary
speeds frequently and use full throttle for short
bursts only. Do not exceed 7,000 rpm.
4 Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1,000
miles (1,600 km), you can subject the
motorcycle to full throttle operation. However,
do not exceed 11,500 RPM at any
time
(tachometer red zone limit).
