During
the
first
1600
kms.
(1000
miles)
a
new
or
overhauled
machine
should
be used
intelligently since the efficiency,
performance,
a.nd
life
of
the engine are largely
dependant
on how
it
is
used.
The englne
should
never be allowed to reach
a high
number
of
revolutions before
it
has
had
a chance to sufficiently
warm
up.
Never ride the machine
at
the highest speeds
permitted
for each
gear
before the machine
has been
well broken in.
Should the engine speed
drop
off considerably
on an
uphill grade, a lower gear
should
be im.
mediately engaged.
In
case of overheating,
it
is
best
to
stop
the engine and allow it
to
cool
down.
Under
no
circumstances
whatever should the
Following speeds be exceeded while a machine
is
being run in.
Maximum permissible
speed:
Distance

Up
to
