Engine break-in

There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.

Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances. Dur-
ing this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.

when wet. Therefore, slow down
when approaching such areas
and cross them with caution.
