CAUTION:
– Lugging engine at low rpms (below 2000 rpm) and/or running engine prematurely at
high rpms
may result in damage to pistons and/or other engine components.
Protect
your investment!
Be sure that you have put in fresh petroleum-based oil before initial
startup.
-
Upon initial startup, don't sit and admire your handiwork, allow only a couple of minutes of warm-up. Do not let engine overheat - excessive engine temperature may cause permanent damage.
-
The first 100 miles are the most critical for new rings and piston break-in. Most engine damage will occur during this period. Keep heat down by not exceeding 3000 rpm. Vary speeds and do not lug engine.
-
Change oil and filter at 100 miles.
-
The next 400 miles should be spent running engine no faster than 3500 rpm or about 60 mph. Continue to vary speed and do not lug engine. No hard acceleration.
-
Change oil and filter at 500 miles.
-
For balance of first 1000 miles, bike can be operated in a normal but conservative manner. Speed can be run up to 60-70 mph or 4000 rpm. Freeway is OK, but only for short trips. Continue to vary engine speeds. Avoid overheating and lugging engine – NO DRAG RACING, trailer towing, dyno runs, hard acceleration, etc.
-
Change oil & filter (synthetic is now OK) at 1000 miles then . . . . .

HAVE FUN !!!
WARNING: Even after break-in, the engine must always be warmed to proper operating temperature before any hard acceleration or exceeding 3500 rpm. Allow bike to warm-up for a couple of minutes, then take it easy for the first 10 minutes or 10 miles.
