Do I need to wait 2000km or am I good to go right away? ggreen29 07-28-2003, 07:58 PM From the US Owner's Manual on page 4-7, there's an adhesive piece of paper that's been stuck onto the page. It says: "No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000 km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of your engine. -Don't race the engine. -Don't maitain one constant speed for long. -Don't drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm (over 7,000 rpm) for extended periods of time. -Avoid unnecessary hard stops. -Avoid full-throttle starts."
