USER'S MANUAL14Running-in OperationThat correct running-in operation is important to prolong the service life and making the best of a newmotorcycle. This chapter provides the correct methods of running-in operation.Maximum SpeedThe maximum speed limits for a new motorcycle during the running-in period are shown as below.First 1,000kmTo 2,000kmOver 3,000 kmLess than 5,000 rpmLess than 7,500 rpmLess than 10,000 rpmVary the Engine SpeedThe engine speed should be changed often, instead of being kept steady, so that each component of the engineacquires a “loaded” pressure. When the pressure is “unloaded”, the components will be cooled down. Suchprocess contr ibutes to the engagement of the components. In order to ensure a fine fitness, it's important to givea load to each of the component in the trial riding. But mind that the engine must not be overloaded.Avoid Constant Low SpeedWhen the engine is running at a constant low speed, the components will be polished well but will not be fittedwell. You may engage to different gears to speed up, provided that the above speed limits are not exceeded.However, during the first 2,000 km, never turn the throttle to the maximum position.
