How to smoothly get through the running-in period of a motorcycle?
Release date:2025.10.20

Just like cars, newly purchased motorcycles also need to go through a running-in period. This is to better adapt to the vehicle and ensure that it achieves the best performance in all aspects.


Only by fully understanding the characteristics of motorcycles and promptly repairing or maintaining them when problems arise can we ensure that the vehicles can be safely driven on the road.



(1)For vehicles in the running-in period, the engine speed should be frequently changed. Multiple gears should be driven for a period of time, and the throttle should not operate at the same speed to ensure the balanced operation of all parts.



Avoid driving in low gears and for long periods, and keep the engine speed within a reasonable range.




(2)When a motorcycle is in motion, paying appropriate attention to its exterior cleaning and sweeping away accumulated dust can, to a certain extent, improve the efficiency of its use.



(3)Try not to carry passengers during the running-in period. After driving about 1,000 kilometers, you can consider driving on the highway in a safe condition.



After getting on the expressway, be careful not to operate the accelerator too abruptly. Do not give sudden acceleration and avoid driving under load for a long time.



(4)Motorcycles that are in the running-in period should not climb overly steep slopes. This is because during the uphill process, the engine is at a high speed, which is something to avoid during the running-in period.



(5)When it comes to engine oil, mineral oil is sufficient for motorcycles during the running-in period. Since the oil change cycle is relatively short during this period, using other types of oil would be rather wasteful.



Motorcycles that have passed the running-in period can start to use fully synthetic lubricating oil. Although this lubricant is more expensive, it can better protect the vehicle and prevent frequent malfunctions.




(6)For new car maintenance, it is best to complete the first mandatory inspection and maintenance within 1,000 kilometers of vehicle use.




The running-in period of a new motorcycle is still very important. It is not only about the running-in of the vehicle itself, but also about the running-in between the person and the vehicle.




The characteristics of each vehicle are different. Drivers need to understand their motorcycles, get a clear picture of all the conditions and performance of the vehicles, and work well together with the vehicle. Only in this way can they have a better driving experience in the future.
