The First 500 Miles (800 Kilometers)

To allow optimal break-in of your motorcycle’s parts, we recommend the following:

At all times:

Do not lug the engine by running or accelerating at very low rpm. Refer to Operation → Shifting Gears.
Drive slowly and avoid fast starts at wide open throttle until the engine has warmed up.

During the first 160 km (100 mi):

Avoid hard braking. Break-in new brakes with moderate use for the first 160 km (100 mi).

During the first 800 km (500 mi):

Keep the engine speed below 3500 rpm in any gear. Do not run the engine at high rpm longer than needed for shifting or passing.
Vary the engine speed and load. Avoid operating at any steady engine speed for long periods. Cruise control, if equipped, should not be used.

Perform the initial service called out in Service Intervals and Records → Service Records to adjust for break-in of components and to remove powertrain contaminants.
