RE: break in

Search function will bring you lots of replies...

I can't remember off the top of my head what was written in the manual, but try to keep it below 150kmh, 4000rpm, C mode only for the first 2000/3000 miles, but vary the RPM range as much as you can. Then slowly bring it up to the maximum RPM range and speed as you go up from there.

RE: break in

There is a gigantic sticker in the windshield that tells you the exact limits for the engine. No max loads until at least 1500km.

But then again, what do the engineers know about the drivetrain break in anyway?
