Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in the
life of your machine than the period between
zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully read
the following material. Because the engine is
brand new, you must not put an excessive load
on it for the first several hours of running. During
the first 20 hours, the various parts in the engine
wear and polish themselves to the correct oper-
ating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle opera-
tion or any condition which might result in exces-
sive engine heating must be avoided. However,
momentary (2-3 seconds maximum) full throttle
operation under load does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence should
be followed with a substantial rest period for the
engine by cruising at lower r/min so the engine
can rid itself of the temporary build up of heat.
If any abnormality is noticed during this period,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
0-10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half throttle.
Allow a cooling off period of five to ten minutes
after every hour of operation. Vary the speed of
the machine from time to time. Do not operate it
at one set throttle position.
10-20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle.
Rev the machine freely through the gears but do
not use full throttle at any time.
After break-in:
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation. Vary
speeds occasionally.
