BREAK-IN

The rst month is the most important in the life of your vehicle. Proper operation

during this break-in period will be helpful for assuring maximum life and performance

of your new vehicle. The following guidelines explain proper break-in procedures.

Maximum Throttle Opening Recommendation

During the rst 10 hours of operation, you should always use less than ½ throttle

opening.

Vary the Engine Rotating Speed

Vary the engine rotating speed during the break-in period. This allows the parts to

“load” and then “unload” (allowing the parts to cool). Although it is essential to

place some stress on the engine components during break-in, you must be careful

not to load the engine too much.

Avoid Constant Low Rotating Speed

Operating the engine at constant low rotating speed (light load) can cause parts to

glaze and not seal properly. Allow the engine to accelerate freely without exceeding

the maximum throttle limit.

Allow the Engine Oil to Circulate Before Riding

Allow enough idling time after warm or cold engine starting. This allows the

lubricating oil to reach all critical engine components.

Observe Your Initial and Most Critical Service

The initial service (break-in maintenance) is the most important service that your

vehicle will receive. Observing a proper break-in operation, will help engine

components seal properly. Maintenance required as part of the initial service

includes proper adjustments, tightening of all bolts & nuts, and replacement of dirty

oil. Timely performance of this service will help you get the best service life and

performance of the engine.
