BREAKING IN THE NEW TYRES
New tyres 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 before attempting maximum
performance. Avoid hard acceleration, hard
cornering, and hard braking for the first 160
km.
AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED
Operating the engine at constant low speed
(light load) can cause parts to glaze and not
seat in. Allow the engine to accelerate freely
through the gears, without exceeding the
recommended maximum limits. Do not,
however, use full throttle for the first 1600
km.
ALLOW THE ENGINE OIL TO
CIRCULATE BEFORE RIDING
Allow sufficient idling time after warm or cold
engine start-up before applying load or rev-
ving the engine. This allows time for the
lubricating oil to reach all critical engine
components.
WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the tyres
could cause tyre slip and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on new tyres.
Perform proper break-in of the tyres as
described in this section and avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and hard
braking for the first 160 km.
