2022 Kawasaki Vulcan S Break-ln

Break-ln

The first 1 000 km (600 miles) of use is the break-in period. Follow the recommendations below to maintain the vehicle’s performance and longevity.

NOTE

• You can ride above the maximum engine revolution stated in the break-in table briefly if necessary. Brief periods above the listed engine revolutions will not affect break-in results.
• When traveling on public roads, obey the speed limits.
• Do not race the engine while the transmission is in neutral.

WARNING
New tires are slippery and may cause loss of control and injury. A break-in period of 160 km (100 miles) is necessary to establish normal tire traction. During break-in, avoid sudden and maximum braking and acceleration, and hard cornering. In addition to the above, at 1 000 km (600 miles) it is extremely important that the owner has the initial maintenance service performed by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
