Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the first 5
hours of riding. It is also important to
accustom the rider to the motorcycle
during this time. Please read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
5 hours of operation. The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheating
must be avoided. However, momen-
tary full-throttle operation under load
(i.e., two to three seconds maximum)
does not harm the engine. Each full-
throttle acceleration should be fol-
lowed with a substantial rest period for
the engine. To allow the engine to cool
down from the temporary buildup of
heat, cruise at a lower engine speed.
After the first 5 hours of operation,
thoroughly check the motorcycle for
loose parts, oil leakage and any other
problems. Be sure to inspect and make
adjustments thoroughly, especially ca-
ble and drive chain slack and loose
spokes. In addition, check all fittings
and fasteners for looseness, and tight-
en if necessary.
