Exceeding the specified en-
gine speeds while running
in will lead to increased engine
wear.
Adhere to the specified engine
run-in speeds.
Do not exceed the engine run-
in speeds.

Do not accelerate at full throt-
tle.
Avoid low engine speeds at full
load.
After 300 - 750 miles (500 -
1,200 km), have the first in-
spection performed.
Brake pads
New brake pads must "bed
down" and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 300 miles
(500 km). This initial reduction
in braking efficiency can be
compensated for by exerting
greater pressure on the levers.
New brake pads can ex-
tend stopping distance by a
significant margin.
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
New tires have not
achieved their full adhesion
yet. There is a danger of
accidents when driving at
extreme angles.
Avoid extreme angles.
Shifting gear
Gearshift assistant
with gearshift assistant
OE
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a shifting assistant developed
based on racing requirements. It
enables upshifting without actu-
ating the clutch or throttle valve
in virtually all load and engine
speed ranges. During accelera-
tion the throttle valve can remain
open, and the shifting time is re-
duced to a minimum. The gears
are shifted into as usual with foot
force on the shift lever.
