Well now I read the work order again and see this: "50 mile break in performed on dyno. Customer to ride 500 miles not to exceed 3800 RPM. Return to dyno after 1000 miles."
I'll call today and confirm, but I doubt they'll do anything unless I follow their instructions. I'm bummed about this. No way I'll have numbers for a while if I have to put another 800 miles on the bike after 200 "easy" miles yesterday. Ugh! It'll be weeks before I can do that. UPDATE: Addition mistake with somebody at the shop. Called them and it's 500 miles. Will do 300 more today and dyno Monday. Anyway, I can give seat-of-the-pants reports along the way. This will be the first: Considering I have to keep it under 3800 rpm, it's a little difficult to say because I can exceed 4000 rpm so fast in first gear I have to be careful (just the way I roll). Having said that, I suspect I'll be a very happy camper once I can open her up. This build with 259e cams feels every bit as spunky as my 110 with 255 cams. If there's a difference, it's minimal IMO. At 2500 rpm in first and second gear, she really starts to kick in. I can definitely feel the pull. Keeping it under 3800 rpm is a challenge. Third gear is where it really seems to find itself when I'm just rolling along. Can't wait to go all out. In 6th gear, a little twist on the throttle will get you another 10 mph before you can glance down at your speedo. Up hill it wants to pull like a farm tractor. No need to down shift into 5th gear. The engine sounds a little lumpier than it did with the 255 cams, but that might be my imagination. Anyway, the engine sounds pretty good to me. I'll try to answer any questions from the forum. More to come..
