1.4. RUNNING-IN
1.4.1. RUNNING-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
The running-in of the engine is essential to ensure its duration and correct functioning.
If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes
undergo a more effective running-in.
During running-in, change speed.
In this way the components are first "loaded" and then "relieved" and the engine parts can thus cool down.
Even if it is important to stress the engine components during running-in, take care not to exceed.
WARNING
Only after the first 1500 km (932 mi) of running-in you can expect the best performance levels from the
vehicle.
Keep to the following indications:
• Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after the running-in.
• During the first 100 km (62 mi) pull the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings. This ensures a
correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc.
• During the first 1000 km (621 mi), never use the vehicle beyond 80% of the max. speed, do not fully open throttle
and do not keep the vehicle at a constant speed for a long time.
WARNING
After the first 1000 km (621 mi), carry out the checks indicated in the column “After running-in”, see
2.1.2., in order to avoid injuries to rider and/or other people and/or damaging the vehicle.
• After the first 1000 km (621 mi), increase speed step by step until reaching top performance.
