But he doesn't say thrash the nuts off it. Far from it if you read it carefully. What he proposes is a systematic break-in of the engine that is simply contrary to the manufacturer's instructions. Scientifically it seems to make a lot of sense, particularly the bit where he says it's vital for the oil to be changed after the first twenty miles - stupid?I don't think so. Alternative thinking? Yes.
I do find it frustrating that there seems to be this knee-jerk and reactionary attitude rather than a logical appraisal of what's actually being said.
At the end of the day it's your bike, so each person has to make their own (preferably well considered) decision.
