I've always run my bikes in, pretty much, as per the handbook. I think it says 4k rev's for the first 600 miles or something similar. It certainly won't do the motor any damage if you occasionaly go a little beyond that to 5 or even 6k. The main thing is to vary the revs and change up and down the gearbox as much as possible and not hold it at one speed. If you can run it in somewhere with lots of hills that would be ideal. The worst thing to do is labour the engine ie: be in too lower a gear for the situation. LB.

Congrats on the new bike
Don't think the owners manual says too much about running in except not to over rev the engine. I took the back roads home from picking mine up, kept to 45-50 mph for the first 100 miles and slowly increased my engine speed until the 600 mile service. The important thing is to vary the engine speed and not sit at a set speed for a long period (so avoid motorways). |
