What is the break-in period for a motorcycle in kilometers?
1 Answers
The break-in period for a motorcycle is 500 kilometers. After each new motorcycle leaves the factory, due to the small clearance between engine components and rough moving surfaces, a break-in process is required to achieve optimal fit between gears, pistons and cylinders, shafts and bearings, etc. Precautions during the break-in period: During the break-in period, the maximum speed should be controlled. Generally, the driving speed should be kept below 60 km/h with variable speeds, avoiding prolonged driving at the same speed. It is advisable to drive at different speed ranges appropriately. Try to avoid carrying passengers or cargo during the break-in period: For motorcycles with gears, frequent gear shifting is recommended. After driving 1,000 kilometers, it is advisable to run at high speeds under safe conditions. Note that high-speed runs should be done before and after oil changes. During the break-in period, it is important to avoid aggressive throttle operation, sudden acceleration, and prolonged high-load driving. Applying some load appropriately can help components fit better. There is no need to be overly cautious, as this may not be beneficial for the motorcycle.
