Scoobs - that is the most sensible thing you have ever posted - IIRC I was supposed to stick to 5k revs for the first 600 miles on my SV1000 - which is still about 100mph in top I think

Me thinks they might have been pulling your plonker Toypop

I can be quite eloquent for a skate.

I said to them you must be joking, there is no way it is doing 45mph at 4000rpm in 6th gear but they are certain of it?

They gave me the owners manual and it says 4000rpm for the first 500 miles then 6000rpm up to 1000 miles.

So basically anyone with one of these bikes tell me what speed you are doing at 4000rpm in 6th and we will know if they are pulling my leg!

Constant revs on break-in is a good way to knacker the bores and rings. regardless of how you do it, whether you go for the "rough broke" approach, do it on a dyno or do it to manufacturer's advice, one thing they all have in common is varied loads and revs. So you don't break it in by doing 500 miles at 4000rpm on the motorway, for example.

Hope you enjoy the new toy

See you brought the best colour Toypop,that makes 2 silver B2Hs in Bristol then,
only ever seen 1 other around here.
Ive never found a problem with the rear spring,they did change to a softer spring on the B2H models so see how you get on.
The 4000 rpm is correct when running in but i doubt if you be able to stick to it
once you run it in and your wrists stop aching you will love it

I shall keep an eye out for you!

So what speed is yours doing at 4000rpm in 6th?

I will do what I did last time which was try to break it in as much as possible on my commute as that is a lot of stop start with constant acceleration and braking. Bit more difficult when you go out on an evening down country roads though. Will probably slip over slightly as I did with my SV but only by 1000 to 1500 rpm or so.

Did you get yours from Bristol Kawasaki?

You want GREEN you do!

Ive had mine since Jan 05,brought it from George Whites in Swindon though i did
test ride one twice at Bristol Kawasaki before deciding .

GW offered a much better trade in for my SV and it worked out several hundred pounds cheaper overall.
Cant remember what speed it did in 6th but the main thing is dont stress it in the wrong gear.Just take it easy running it in but your bound to rev it above 4k
as already metioned just vary the revs and all should be fine
