En gine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU58991
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3900
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the en gine oil an d
final gear oil must be chan ged , an d
the oil filter cartri dge or element re-
place d.
[ECA10333]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4700
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) an d b eyon d
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE

TIP
Air filter
 This model’s air filter uses a disposable oil-coated paper element, which
must be replaced. Do not clean with compressed air, doing so will only dam-
age it.
 The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently if you often ride in
the rain or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake and clutch service  Regularly check the brake fluid and clutch fluid reservoirs. Replenish as nec-
essary.
 Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylin-
ders and calipers as well as clutch master and release cylinders, and change
the brake and clutch fluids.
 Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years or sooner if cracked or
damaged.
