Re: Owenski's New Bike
 

Bit of both,
Its how the dealer (Padgetts) recommended to do it.

<500miles keep it under 6000rpm but constantly take it up and down the box and rev range, never let it lugg and try not to hold a steady throttle.

> 500 < 1000miles keep it under 8000rpm but constantly take it up and down the box and rev range, every now and then blip it to the top.

> 1000 thrash away my child.

Best get them miles in then! You can make a good dent in the mileage by turning up on that Parkinson's ride over in PM section ;)

Great bike, a bloke I met is a stunt rider and uses one of these. He rated it as the most agile, best handling IL4 out there. Nice one!

Re: Owenski's New Bike
 

Na, sold many bits off and with the house move that's free'd up some other cash, rest of the bike is on finance.

and erm no! Its getting over 1000miles under my backside before I even consider letting anyone do anything other than make vroom vroom noises on it.

Re: Owenski's New Bike
 

Wow, thats quite a statement!
Pretty sure I wont be using it to that potential but I'll give it a go :thumbsup:
