Thats what I did with the GSXR. The only other thing I would suggest is to not baby / nanny the bike. If you dont put enough load on it. The piston rings wont bed in and then you wont get a good seal and it'll burn some oil and you wont get the most BHP out of it.

Dont go mad though its called "running in" for a reason. Remeber you are also bedding in the brakes and you have new tyres on to.

I was also told by the manager in the dealership that I could go 1000rpm past the running in limit.

I guarantee mine was rough broke

It was a demo bike, and the shop in question runs theirs in normally till 500 miles then lets them loose on the world. So chances are it was abused from that day till it was sold to the second owner at 2000 miles. She then looked after it right, apparently. Till she crashed it.

SV engines last forever without serious work, even if running them in fast took 50% of the life off them how likely are you to crack 50,000 miles? Just a thought. I'm not sure how I'd run a new one in myself though. Probably get YPE to break it on the dyno, no way would i stick to the schedule. But that's personal choice.

I quite enjoyed it. It gave me some time to get used to the bike. I did 600 miles in a week so it didnt take long. Liz however ran her K5 in 48 hours

I plan to book my first service for precisely two weeks after I pick it up, should give me plenty of incentive.... respect on doing it within a week though Fizz! and Liz thats just mental!

I picked my bike up on 29th March I clicked round 5000 miles yesterday morning. Liz's is on 16K and her bike isnt a year old yet.

i remember sitting on the A41 @ under 5k bored

suzuki say use all the gears and all the rev range up to the permited rpm! thats like street riding! they say not to sit at your max rpm in top gear because its just bedding in 6th.
at an average of 30-40mph should take about 17 hours

i sat at 5k and just got it out the way

Just ride the thing as you always would, if this means rag the nuts off it, then so be it. If it blows up in the first 3? years (which it won’t) then Mr Suzuki will give you a new engine free of charge!!!

Chances are that your normal riding isn’t going to stress the engine that much anyway. Besides, if running in harder than the book has any detrimental effect then this is likely to be later in life … and lets face it, it will probably have changed keepers a few times by then so not your problem!!!
