RUNNING-IN
During initial running-in
newly machined surfaces will be in contact with each other
and these surfaces will
wear in quickly. Running-in maintenance at 1,000 km (600 miles) is designed
to compensate for this initial minor wear. Timely performance of the running-in
maintenance will ensure optimum service life and performance from the engine.
The general rules as
follows:
1. Never labour the engine
with full throttle at low engine speeds. This rule is applicable not only
during running-in but at all times.
2. Maximum continuous engine
speed during the first 1,000 km (600 miles) must not exceed 8,000 min-1 (rpm).
3. Increase the maximum
continuous engine speed by 2,000 min (rpm) between odometer readings of 1,000
km (600 miles) and 1,600 km (1,000 miles). Drive briskly, vary speeds
frequently and use full throttle for short bursts only. Do not exceed 10,000
min- 1 (rpm).
4. Upon reaching an odometer
reading of 1,600 km (1,000 miles), you can subject the motorcycle to full
throttle operation. However, do not exceed 11 ,000 min (rpm) indicated by the
beginning of the tachometer red zone. (Do not let the tachometer needle enter
the red zone.)
CAUTION:
Running the engine beyond recommended maximum
engine speed (the beginning ofthe tachometer red zone) can damage the engine.
