ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN
1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See the Refueling section for
details. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See the Oil Check section for details. Add the
recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating
range.
3. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the
daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
6. Carry only light loads.
7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours, one
month, or 500 miles, whichever comes first.
8. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of
operation and every 50 hours thereafter.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.
