EAU00436Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your motorcy-
cle than the period between zero
and 1,000 km. For this reason we
ask that you carefully read the fol-
lowing material. Because the
engine is brand new, you must not
put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,000 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, pro-
longed full throttle operation, or
any condition which might result in
excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.
EAU00446
1. 0 ~ 150 km:
Avoid operation above 1/3
throttle. Stop the engine and
let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes
after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the motorcy-
cle from time to time. Do not
operate it at one set throttle
position.
2. 150 ~ 500 km:
Avoid prolonged operation
above 1/2 throttle. Rev the
motorcycle freely through the
gears, but do not use full throt-
tle at any time.
3. 500 ~ 1,000 km:
Avoid cruising speeds in
excess of 3/4 throttle.

After 1,000 km of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil and
clean the oil filter element and oil
strainer.
