This is how I was told to break in my bike by my tech and he is a service manager at a dealer and does all my engine work.
RUN IT TILL IT WARMS UP (ABOUT A MIN OR SO) THEN DRIVE IT FOR 10 TO 15 MILES (NORMAL DRIVING DON

Hello TWNRIG !

Welcome on this site from FRANCE. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

It'll be nice for the other members if you present you in the thread "New Member Introduction" with a pic of your bike. ;)

Best regards
Jacques

RIDE THE BIKE TO RUN IT TILL IT WARMS UP (ABOUT A MIN OR SO) THE DRIVE IT FOR 10 TO 15 MILES (NORMAL DRIVING DON’T OVERHEAT OR LUG ENGINE), THEN RUN IT IN 3RD GEAR UP TO 4,000 TO 5,000 RPMS THREE TIMES, THEN SHUT OFF AND LET IT COOL. ENGINE IS BROKE IN AND GOOD TO GO.

Welcome TWNRIG. The owners manual says to keep it below 4000 RPMs for the first 50 miles and then up to 5000 RPMs for 500 miles. Just don't over heat it.

Twnrig,
Sweet looking ride.  Best looking color, IMHO.  ;D  So when are you gonna get rid of those pipes and mufflers and let her breathe a little better?

Have already done that. Put Vance & Hines true duels on with Rush mufflers (sounds awesome) SERT and a Doherty A/C. Waiting for good weather to get on it and ride. Cold as heck here in WI.
