Failure to observe the indications provided below can reduce performance and shorten the lifeof the
motorcycle.
Running-in is generally considered to apply only to the engine. In fact, it should be regarded as an essential phase for other important
parts such as the tyres, the brakes and the drive chain. During the very first miles, adopt a relaxed riding style.

In particular, observe for the first 2500 km (1600 mi) the max revolutions number indicated in the table. After the running-in period,
above 2500 km (1600 mi), the engine is "hot" and can be run to its maximum speed.
ATTENZIONE
New tyres must undergo a proper running-in period to reach their
complete efficiency. Avoid abrupt acceleration, turning and braking
during the first 100 km (62,5 mi). Failure to observe these
prescriptions can lead to the sliding of the wheels and the loss of
control of the vehicle with subsequent risk of accidents
