Riding the motorcycle Break-in recommendations Maximum rpm (fig. 65) Rotation speed for Break-in period and during standard use (rpm): 1) Up to 621 mi (1000 km) 2) 621 mi (1000 km) to 1553 mi (2500 km) For the first 61 mi (100 km), use the brakes gently. Avoid sudden or prolonged braking. This will allow the friction material on the brake pads to bed in against the brake disks. For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt to one another and above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. It is also advisable to inspect the drive chain frequently and lubricate as required. Up to 621 mi (1000 km) During the first 621 mi (1000 km) keep an eye on the rev counter, it should never exceed: 5.500÷6000 min-1. During the first few hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended limit. To achieve this, roads with plenty of bends and even slightly hilly areas are ideal for the most efficient break-in of the engine, brakes and suspensions. 99
