Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure
maximum performance, just as the engine
does. Wear in the tread surface by gradually
increasing your cornering lean angles over the
first 160 km (100 miles) before attempting
maximum performance. Avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking
for the first 160 km (100 miles).
Observe your first and most critical service
NOTE:
The 1000 km (600 miles) service is the most
important service your scooter will receive.
During break-in all of the engine components
will have worn in and all of the other parts will
have seated in. All adjustments will be restored,
all fasteners will be tightened, and the dirty oil
will be replaced.
Timely performance of the 1000 km (600 miles)
service will ensure optimum service life and
performance from the engine.
The 1000 km (600 miles) service should be
performed as outlined in the maintenance
schedule section of this owner's manual. Pay
particular attention to the caution and warning
in maintenance schedule section.
Failure to perform break-in of the tires
could cause tire slip and loss of
control.
Use extra care when riding on new tires.
Perform proper break-in of the tires as
described in this section and avoid
hard acceleration, hard cornering, and
hard braking for the first 160 km (100
miles).
