My break-in procedure:
General recommendations
- Warm up the engine before riding - 2/3 minutes just the time to dress up;
- No rush in breaking-in, full cooldown cycles are very important;
- RPMs variation most as possible (up and down engine pressure are important for a proper seal);
- Avoid highways (constant speeds/RPMs);
- Avoid engine loads and brutal accelerations;
- Work the gearbox, shifting is very important, also need to break-in;
- Avoid riding with a passenger;
From 0-100 km (0-60 miles)
