    Default Does my new Spyder need a Break in period or service? First service?

    I upgraded from a used 2021 F3 base to a brand new 2023 F3 Limited. I have owned new motorcycles and vehicles in the past, all had some "break in" period and required service after X number of miles.
    Can the same be said for a new Spyder? Do I need to keep it under a certain MPH for X number of miles? When should I have the first service done?
    Appreciate any guidance.

    ..... your owners manual has guidelines as to initial operation ..... I have only brought my Spyder in for service to have Waranty issues done .... I have done all the maintenance work my self ... good luck ....Mike

    Any "break-in" will be specified in the Manual.

    Gidday and welcome.
    Running in, just the usual I guess, like dont lug it at low revs and dont wring its neck. Easy on the throttle and let it run.
    I know the BRP manual is something else but its worth reading it.

    It makes sense to read the manual even before you get it. Sometimes it takes reading something several times before it sinks in. Even the starting of a Spyder can be daunting if you’ve never done it. When I picked my first one up I went for some lunch after the purchase and upon trying to start it , I had already forgotten the procedure and had to call the dealer for instructions.

    I nosed mine into a parking spot and forgot how to get it in reverse!! It took a few minutes to remember what the magic trick was!
