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. In this way the components are first ìloadedî and then ìrelievedî 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. Only after the first 1500 km (937 mi) of running-in you can expect the best performance levels from the vehicle. Keep to the following indications: N After the first 1000 km (625 mi) , carry out the checking operations indicated in the column "After running-in" of the REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see p. 44 (REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART), in order to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehicle. N a c N N N Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after the running-in. During the first 100 km (62 mi) put on the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings. This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc. During the first 800 km (500 mi) never exceed 6000 rpm. Between the first 800 km (500 mi) and 1600 km (1000 mi) drive more briskly, change speed and use the maximum acceleration only for a few seconds, in order to ensure better coupling of the components; never exceed 9000 rpm (see table). After the first 1600 km (1000 mi) you can expect better performance from the engine, however, without exceeding the max 11000 rpm. Engine maximum rpm for the running-in Mileage km (mi) 0÷800 (0÷500) 800÷1600 (500÷1000) over 1600 (1000) Max. (rpm) 6000 9000 11000 34/00). ' N Release the throttle grip (1) (Pos.
