Default Running in blues

I'm trying to run in my SV and i've been overtaken by a ford Galaxy, a jap 4*4 and burnt off by a jap 4*4...an awful state of affairs...5000rpm is dullsville...I need a sign saying that i'm not slow just runing in...I would hate to think that some idiot is bragging about burning off me black jet...
Now the seat of the SV is not my best friend...where can I exchange it...I gonna ask if the bars can be altered at first service...comfort is not to my liking.

There looked like a serious motorcycle crash on the A49 near whitchurch...near little chef...any clues...

Yes I think it was a cbr with a V-strom.

I didn't hang about to see if there were other bikes

it was worse for me as I ran mine in in Germany... bloody BMW's VW Passat and Merc's....

but once you get to the 800-1000 miles... what a differance...


p.s. hope it wasn't your M8 Clive.

I never saw a Fazer...about 1430h...today...the bikes looked like bikes so the accident happened on a roundabout...so slow speed...hopefully slow speed injuries...
The comfort thing is taking away any enjoyment of the bike...it is just a pain...i'll persevere with it but I will think about a new seat and a fiddle with the bars..if it doesn't improve...

Hello from a newbie to the site,
When I ran mine in I had a lot of pain in my limbs and was stopping every twenty miles with cramp after the first fifty. then after a couple of days it stops and then you think the riding position is spot on.
Parky.....

Couldn't believe it when I bought the KTM, I was reading the running instructions, to summarise they read...

"When in 6th gear, do not exceed 105MPH..."
