RUNNING IN PERIOD
The Royal Enfield motorcycle as you would be experiencing
is capable of consistent high speeds. However as with any
new motorcycle, a “RUNNING-IN PERIOD” procedure is
essential to help in proper “Bedding-in” of the various mov-
ing parts in your motorcycle and to achieve optimum per-
formance like gear shifting subsequently.
1. Do not exceed maximum specified pay load.
2. Warm up the engine for a few minutes at idling speed to
allow engine oil to lubricate all the moving parts in the
engine before riding the motorcycle.
3. Avoid full throttle operation and do not ride at constant
throttle continuously. Vary the speed by 10% while
riding.
4. Ride at proper speed and avoid sudden accelerations and
braking.
5. Avoid riding motorcycle continuously for over an hour, it
is recommended to take brief stop.
