ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Use only unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump octane number of 87 R+M/2 octane. Unleaded fuel blends with up to
10% ethanol can be used. See the Fuel Cap section of your Vehicle Manual
for the fuel tank’s location. Always exercise extreme caution whenever
handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See the Engine Oil section of your Vehicle Manual for
more information about this procedure. Add the recommended oil as needed
to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
3. Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined in the Ace Safety
Manual.
4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the
daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 55.
8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or
one month.
9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.
PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower
speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
