Starting – Riding – Parkinge Caution:
Exceeding the specified engine 
speeds while running in will lead 
to increased engine wear.
L Note:
While running in the motor-
cycle, vary the throttle opening 
and engine-speed range fre-
quently.
Try to do most of your riding 
during this initial period on 
twisting, fairly hilly roads rather 
than high-speed main roads 
and highways.
Running-in engine speedsFrom 0 to 1,000 km (600 miles)
• Engine speed max.  4,000 rpm  and no full-load 
acceleration
• Do not omit the first inspec- tion after 1,000 km 
(600 miles). 
Make an appointment with 
your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer in good time, so 
that the work can be per-
formed punctually.
From 1,000 to 2,000 km (600 to 
1,200 miles)
• Engine speeds can be gradu- ally increased after 1,000 km
