If ambient temperatures are
very low, you might find it
necessary to open the throttle
slightly when starting the engine.
At ambient temperatures below
0 °C, disengage the clutch after
switching on the ignition.
The engine starts.
Press engine OFF button 1.
The engine switches off.
Running in
The first five hours
While running in the motor-
cycle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently.
Avoid maintaining constant en-
gine speeds over lengthy peri-
ods and accelerating to the
rpm limit.
Maximum speeds during
running-in period
}110 km/h (in 5th gear)
Have the first inspection per-
formed after two operating
hours.
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed
down before they can achieve
their optimum friction levels. You
can compensate for this initial re-
duction in braking efficiency by
exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
New brake pads can ex-
tend stopping distance by a
significant margin.
Apply the brakes in good time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in pro-
cedure is essential if the tyres are
to achieve maximum grip.
Tyres do not have their full
grip when new and there
is a risk of accidents at extreme
angles of heel.
Avoid extreme angles of heel.
