about to stall or runs very roughly,

pull the clutch lever in and use the

brakes to stop the motorcycle.

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period

in the life of your engine than the period

between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For

this reason, you should read the follow-

ing material carefully.

Since the engine is brand new, do not

put an excessive load on it for the first

1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in

the engine wear and polish themselves

to the correct operating clearances.

During this period, prolonged full-throt-

tle operation or any condition that might

result in engine overheating must be

avoided.

EAU17122

0–1000 km (0–600 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 4700

r/min.

NOTICE:

After 1000 km (600

mi) of operation, the engine oil and

final gear oil must be changed, and

the oil filter cartridge or element re-

placed.
