Le lapping motorcycle ... the first contacts with a motorcycle determine its future life and durability.

Le lapping the time it takes to adapt and rework parts. This explains why the first kilometers are especially important.

Note that lapping applies to all parts: engine, but also brakes and tires.

For brakes, only the first hundred kilometers should be braked moderately. Avoid heavy braking for the first few kilometers to ensure a healthy lifestyle for your motorcycle.

For bus We advise you to drive smoothly for at least the first 200 kilometers and then gradually increase the incline.

Otherwise, the risk of uncontrolled sliding is very high: all opinions agree that Tires the origin on a new motorcycle is not really followed in all circumstances; so be careful!

At every shift pneumatic, these 200 km lapping should be taken into account to avoid the risk of slipping.

Engine break-in

Un engine Nine has microscopic roughness, so it must be carefully polished.

To help lapping, the oil added to the engine by the manufacturer is particularly corrosive to help polishing / lapping... Therefore, it is also necessary to be especially calm before the first oil change.

Who said lapping does not necessarily mean mild behavior. The engine speed should be varied while driving, not kept constant. This makes it possible to “load” the parts under pressure and then unload them to cool them down. It also makes the fitting process easier. It is important that the parts engine are subject to limitations to perform this tuning process correctly. Therefore, it is important not to drive Paris-Marseille at 90 km / h in the hope that your car has broken down. On the contrary, you need to shift all gears in both directions; therefore, an urban area is best suited for this (but avoid traffic jams that unnecessarily heat the engine).

You also need to accelerate smoothly, which also saves you chain kit... Understandably, take over the flow without violence.

Otherwise, some motorcycles have a tendency to stall and grip the clutch or even gears that are difficult to shift.

Then it is advisable not to exceed 4500 rpm for the first ten kilometers. Indeed, using a cold engine at full load causes metal rupture.

You can then turn into normal use between 6/7000 turns and 8/10000 turns into sportier use ... and more if similar.
