RUNNING IN
To obtain the best settling of the engine moving elements, for
driving your motorcycle to the best of your capability, run in
the engine for several hours, following these procedures:
1. FROM STOP POSITION. Start the engine and run at idle, but
open the throttle periodically and briefly until the engine is
thoroughly warmed up. Within 3-4 minutes the coolant tempe-
rature will have reached approximately 60° C/140° F. (Do not
ride the motorcycle).
2. Stop the engine, and let it cool down naturally until its tem-
perature is equal to the ambient air temperature. This will al-
low the piston to align itself to any imperfections which might
exist at the cylinder wall.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2. (Do not ride the motorcycle).
4. Bring the engine up to normal running temperature. Ride
the motorcycle approximately 10 minutes at moderate speeds.
Then repeat cool down procedure.AVOID HARD ACCELERATIONS.
5. Bring engine up to normal temperature. Ride motorcycle ap-
proximately 15 minutes at moderate to high speeds. Again
avoid hard accelerations.
6.Repeat cool down procedure.
7. Full throttle operation must be avoided until the engine has
reached operating temperature, even after the break in pro-
cess is completed. When the above procedure is followed cor-
rectly, engine durability and performance will be greatly
enhanced.
