Try to do most of your rid-

ing during this initial period on

twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-

ing high-speed main roads and

highways if possible.

Comply with the rpm limits for

running in.

Running-in speed

<7000 min

-1

(Odometer

reading 0...300 km)

<9000 min

-1

(Odometer

reading 300...1000 km)

1000 km (no full-load riding

before odometer reading)

Do not omit the first inspection

after 500 - 1200 km.

Brake pads

New brake pads have to bed

down before they can achieve

their optimum friction levels. You

can compensate for this initial re-

duction in braking efficiency by

exerting greater pressure on the

levers.

New brake pads can ex-

tend stopping distance by a

significant margin.

Apply the brakes in good time.

Tyres

New tyres have a smooth sur-

face. This must be roughened by

riding in a restrained manner at

various heel angles until the tyres

are run in. This running in pro-

cedure is essential if the tyres are

to achieve maximum grip.

Tyres do not have their full

grip when new and there

is a risk of accidents at extreme

angles of heel.

Avoid extreme angles of heel.

Shifting gear

Shift light

Shift light 1 shows the rider two

engine-speed thresholds:

Pullaway engine speed

When the motorcycle is at a

standstill with the engine running,

the shift light indicates the ideal

engine speed for a racing start.

Shift light off: engine speed

too low

Shift light on: ideal engine

speed for pulling away
