- Don't let it get hot. Stay below 220 degrees F. If it hits 220, shut it down; pull over; whatever you have to do.
- Don't let it idle.
- Don't rev up high.
- No high throttle settings. No WFO.
- Very smooth throttle transitions.
- Do not stay at same RPM for any length of time. Constantly accel/decel/switch gears.
- Don’t Exceed:
- 5500 RPM First 100 Miles
- 6000 RPM Second 100 Miles
- 6500 Rpm Third 100 Miles
- 7000 RPM Fourth 100 Miles
- 8000 RPM Fifth 100 Miles
- At 600 miles change the oil (use dino oil). Totally unnecessary to do prior to this, and a waste of money.
- After oil change, ride it however you want.
- At 2000 Miles, switch to synthetic oil.
