Starting – Riding – Parking
Exceeding the specified engine
speeds while running in will lead
to increased engine wear.
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently.
Try to do most of your riding
during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads rather
than high-speed main roads
and highways.
Running-in engine speeds
From 0 to 1,000 km (600 miles)
• Engine speed max. 4,000 rpm
and no full-load acceleration
• Do not omit the first inspection
after 1,000 km (600 miles)
Make an appointment with your
authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer in good time, so that the
work can be performed punctu-
ally.
From 1,000 to 2,000 km
(600 to 1,200 miles)
• Engine speeds can be gradually
increased after 1,000 km (600
miles)
• Avoid lengthy periods at full load
until 2,000 km (1,200 miles)
have been covered
