Tufelhunden Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I looked all over the forum and could not find anything on the break in of a new bike. I was wondering what the board members did. Do you follow the factory recommended and baby for 500 miles or do you beat the heck out of it for a short period of time and change your oil and filter sooner, like the guy at http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm recomends. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I read the "harsh" breakin from Mototune and found it interesting and I believe it. Just won't get to do it, prob. never buy a new bike again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyv65 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I asked my salesman at the dealership (he's a racer here in Colorado and places quite well in the AMA competition), and he said to "ride it the way you will after break in; just don't lug it or snap the throttle WFO for the first 600 miles". I can't tell if she's a hot XX compared to others, but she seems "sprightly' to me. Bryan...time for new Avons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
