1.4. RUNNING-IN
1.4.1. RUNNING-IN
Correct engine running-in is essential to ensuring proper performance and durability.
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 1000 km (621 mi) of running-in is it possible to obtain the best acceleration
performance 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.
• 0-500 km (0-310 mi) During the first 500 km (310 mi), do not exceed the 80% of the maximum allowed speed.
• Avoid driving at constant speed for long distances.
• After the first 1000 km (621 mi), progressively increase the speed until reaching the highest performance levels.
DANGER
After the first 1000 km (621 mi), have the checking operations indicated in the column "After running-
in" carried out by an aprilia Authorised Dealer, see REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, in order
to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehicle.
