Picked it up , warmed the engine up and fired home with nearly full open throttle- only the strongest will survive .
A special break-in-cycle doesn`t make sense in our days , important ia that the engine is warmed up and not still cold .

Too late for this... I cruised the 14 mile trip home, let the bike cool down, had dinner, then the wife and I headed out.

56 miles later we were back home... stayed out of 6th only on day one... after that all is out the window...

Time for my 1K service.

I used Motorman's break-in routine when my '07 110 motor was new.  That motor never gave me a lick of trouble and it ran very strong

Piston rings scrub a lot of break in material off the cylinder walls the first 100 miles. It ends up in you filter and suspended in the oil. The break in oil also has assembly grease and various assembly related left overs that are best removed before testing how far the right hand grip turns. Wait till the 1k oil dump

So, motoman says to change out the synthetic oil and put in dino oil for breakin. Did you guys do this?  Is it worth changing out new oil before breakin?

[Highwaystar]

Come on now. Don't drain the synthetic out. Just don't get throttle happy till after the 1K service. You need to get the metal out from breaking in the cylinders before you pound on it!
