When I bought the Honey Badger down in Macon, I had to ride home in the dark to where we live north of Atlanta... a 2 1/2 hour ride on the highway.

I varied my speed and gearing a lot, to vary the RPM, and I did some fairly hard accelerations. Didn't keep it under 60 like the dealer told me to, either.

I must have done something right, because my bike does not use a drop of oil... NONE. I have not yet had to add any oil between changes. I guess I got the rings seated pretty good on that initial ride.

Thanks for the info Ken..

Make sure the rings are seated, never lug the motor, don't over rev it until it's warmed up and change the motor oil at about the first 1000 km.

Otherwise drive it like you normally would.
Thanks for the tips Egultrac..
