1.4. RUNNING-IN

1.4.1. RUNNING-IN

Correct engine running-is essential to ensuring proper

performance and durability.

If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many

bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes

undergo a more effective running-in. During running-in,

change speed. In this way the components are first "loaded"

and then "relieved" and the engine parts can thus cool down.

Even if it is important to stress the engine components

during running-in, take care not to exceed.

Keep to the following indications:

- Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low,

both during and after running-in.

- for the first 3 hours of operation, never open throttles

more than half their way and never go beyond 8000

rpm,

- for the following 12 hours never open throttles more

than 75% of their travel.

NOTE Even after running-in, avoid riding at such rpm as to

have the rpm limiter trip, i.e.:

- SXV 450 12000 rpm

- SXV 550 11500 rpm

- RXV 450 11500 rpm

- RXV 550 11000 rpm

WARNING

Limiter warning light (not the CPU limiter) is set

in-house to 8000 rpm, see INSTRUMENT PANEL

for its final setting.
