Default Re: Running in a new bike.

I ran mine in pretty much as per the book, but I did exceed the RPM limit by 1000rpm or so. From what I read first few miles are the most important, and you dont want to nanny the bike you want to make sure that you put some load on the engine, but dont go mad with it.

Remember your not only running the engine in, you're running the gearbox in to, bedding new brakes in and you need to scrub the new tyres in as well.

Just ride it normally, and make sure it warmed up properly before increasing the RPM, just dont hold a constant throttle for to long and dont make the engine labour in to high a gear.
