Running-In; Stopping - APRILIA MX 125 Manual De Instrucciones

RUNNING-IN

The running-in of the engine is important to
ensure its correct functioning.
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.
CAUTION
Only after the first 1500 km of running-
in you can expect the best performance
levels from the vehicle.
Keep to the following indications:
Do not open the throttle completely if the
◆
speed is low, both during and after the
running-in.
During the first 100 km put on the brakes
◆

the vehicle more lively, change speed
and fully open throttles just for a few
seconds so as to allow parts better
coupling. Do not open throttles more
than 3/4 of their way.
