What is the recommended speed during the motorcycle break-in period?

The speed during the motorcycle break-in period should be controlled between 50-80 km/h. The break-in period specified in the manual is generally 1,500 kilometers. During the break-in period, the following precautions should be taken for motorcycles: 1. When starting cold, it is best to wait until the water temperature preheats to above 40℃ before starting. Choose good road conditions for driving. Avoid revving the engine when parking. 2. For motorcycles in the break-in period, it is essential to control the driving speed and avoid excessively high speeds. After driving 1,500 kilometers, you can gradually increase the engine speed and vehicle speed to the maximum allowed by the vehicle. Avoid pressing the accelerator too hard to ensure that pistons, cylinders, and other important components increase their load under moderate conditions. 3. Do not use a single gear for extended periods. Start in a low gear and gradually shift to higher gears, driving in a step-by-step manner. Avoid the phenomena of low-gear high-speed or high-gear low-speed driving.
