! WARNING !
Never cover front and/or rear sides
of radiators. This will impede heat
exchanging and cause overheating
of engine.
Note: Clean radiator fins to ensure a
perfect efficiency of radiators. If they
are dirty, heat exchange may not occur
and engine may overheat.
BREAK-IN (RUNNING-IN)
The following explains why is so
important proper break-in to achieve
maximum life and performance from
your new AJP.
Even very precisely machined sections
of engine components have rougher
surfaces than components that have
been sliding across one another for
quite some time; therefore, every
engine needs to be broken in during the
first 1,000Kms.
For this reason, do not load engine
more than 50% of its capacity during
the first 500 kilometres, avoiding full-
throttle. In the following 500 kilometres,
you may load the engine up to 75% of
its capacity, using the gearbox
frequently.
Allow sufficient idling time, about 1-2
minutes, after warm or cold engine start
up before applying load or revving the
engine. This allows time for the
lubricating oil to reach all critical engine
components.
Observe your first and most critical
service. The 1000 Kms service is the
most important service your AJP will
receive. Your motorcycle will be
checked carefully, injection system
controlled and updated, all adjustments
will be restored, all fasteners and
spokes will be tightened, dirty oil will be
replaced and oil filters cleaned.
! WARNING !
Incorrect break-in may cause severe
damage to your motorcycle or
significantly reduce your motorcycle
lifetime!
INSPECTIONS BEFORE
RIDING
Check the following before each
start
When you start off, the motorcycle must
be in perfect mechanical condition. For
safety reasons, you should make a
habit of performing an overall check
before each start.
The following checks should be
performed:
1 – Oil level. Insufficient oil quantity
results in premature wear in engine
components and damages in engine
itself.
2 - Fuel. Check there is enough fuel in
the tank;
3 - Drive chain. A loose chain can fall
from the chain wheels; an extremely
worn chain can tear and insufficient
lubrication can result in excessive wear
to the chain and chain wheels.
Excessive tensioning of the chain will
put additional load on the components
of the secondary drive train (chain,
bearings of transmission and rear
wheel). Aside from resulting premature
wear, the chain may even rupture or the
transmission axle may break.
4 - Tires. Check for cuts or dents and
replace tyres if necessary. The tread
