Go for the aggressive approach, but remember:

Don't accelerate too hard, use heavy engine braking, or labour the engine. Vary the revs, don't stick at a certain speed for too long. Don't do more than 75% of rev limit until you have done 500 or so miles.




*advice is based on what I did, I take no responsibility for outcomes of following these guidelines.

Nah, they take a few hundred miles before it before they start corroding and never quite looking the same. Although I suppose if your garage is even slightly damp it may have started already.

Engine management light on yet?

lol

No really, I very nearly bought a 675 before buying the 600rr, I like them alot and they are a very pretty bike, BUT they have way to many issues and reliability problems, nothing to do with jealousy although if it makes you feel better about your purchase then fell free to think that lol

The dealer I dealt with was a Honda and Triumph dealer (Pidcocks and the sales guy is a good friend so unbiased)....they advised against the triumph for many reasons, most of which have been mentioned some of which have not.

(you started it not me )
