Break-In Procedure
New Motorcycle
Following proper break-in procedure helps ensure that
the most important and expensive components on your
new motorcycle will provide maximum performance and
service life. (Also follow proper break-in procedure for a
newly rebuilt engine.)
When riding a new motorcycle, operate the motorcycle
for the first 20 minutes using not more than half throttle
and shifting gears so that the engine does not lug.
Reconditioned Motorcycle
After replacing the cylinder and crankshaft, operate
the motorcycle for 20 minutes observing the same
cautions as for a new motorcycle.
When the piston, piston ring, gears, etc. are replaced,
they must be broken in observing the first 30 minutes
using not more than half throttle and shifting gears so
that the engine does not lug.
When you shift the transmission into gear, apply front
brake to prevent the motorcycle from moving forward.
