Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Break-in procedures

During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “break-in” before subjecting the engine to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.

  1.  Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:

Speed limits
initial 800 km (500 miles): below 7 000 r/min up to 1 600 km (1 000 miles): below 10 500 r/min over 1 600 km (1 000 miles): below 13 750 r/min

  1. Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km (1 000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation. However, do not exceed 13 750 r/ min at any time.

Engine oil and filter replacement
Replace engine oil initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 months) and every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months) thereafter Replace oil filter initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 months) and every 18 000 km (11 000 miles, 36 months) thereafter Oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filt ...

Cooling system inspection
Inspect cooling system every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 6 months) Replace engine coolant every 2 years Engine coolant level inspection Hold the motorcycle vertically.  Check the engine coolant level by observing the “f” and “l” lines on the engine coolant reservoir tank. If the level i ...
