RUNNING-IN RULES
A running-in period is necessary when first using
the vehicle. This is fundamental for correct opera-
tion and long-life of the engine.
Certain rules must be complied with during this
period to prepare the engine and vehicle parts for
subsequent top performance (after running in).
The following tips are given as an indication to help
the user carry out a good running-in period: failure
to comply may not lead to immediate damage, but
could have a negative effect on the subsequent
efficiency of the engine and the vehicle parts in
general.
STRESS
It is important for the engine and vehicle parts to
be subjected to stress appropriately.
It is also important neither to overstress nor to
under stress, as in both cases the engine and the
vehicle parts would suer.
ROUTES
When riding along mountain roads, take care not to
force the engine, brakes and suspensions. The ve-
hicle is more suited to travelling along winding and
moderately hilly roads where the engine, brakes
and suspensions alternate periods of stress with
periods of reduced or no stress.
SPEED
Change the speed gradually (no sudden full throt-
tling). Full throttling is allowed, but do NOT travel
for long stretches with the accelerator handle con-
trol fully twisted (full speed).
BRAKING
The brake pads are new at the time of purchase;
the friction surface does not create perfect friction
on the disks at first. To be fully operative the surface
must be run-in, after which it will adhere perfectly
to the disk during braking. Running-in requires ap-
proximately 200 km (125 mi) of urban route.
During this period, take into account that you will
need longer braking spaces and apply the brake le-
ver more forcefully. Abrupt and prolonged braking
is to be avoided.
NOTE: the first 1000 km (625 mi) represent the end
of running-in threshold, but only after 1000 km (625
mi) is best performance of the vehicle obtained.
During the first 500 km (312 mi), ensure that any
maintenance operations envisaged for this mile-
age are carried out.
USE
STARTING
After having checked that there is fuel in the tank,
open the fuel tap on the tank.
Release the steering lock if it has been engaged,
following the instructions given in the relative sec-
tion and turn the key clockwise.
