There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What you have surmised seems to be what occurs in most 1330 Engines. ... for some reason they have a very long " break-in " time .... this engine model is only 8 years old, you would think the time should be much less, but that doesn't seem to be the case ..... jmho .... Mike :thumbup:
There's something to be said about the owner's "break-in time" also. I believe 8k, give or take a few miles, is what it may take for an owner to become one with his/her new machine. Even long after 8k, the owner can still benefit from some of the uniquenesses the spyder has to offer, including maintenance.
Can they really do that? Is it built into the ECU and nanny controlled?

I know they can do it on snowmobiles!! But if they don't do it on these bikes, then maybe the bike is just loosening up and feels like you have more power!!! :dontknow: With sleds you have too many hammer heads that will take it out of the box and hammer the snot out of it, so they numb it down for a few miles then open it up!! Myself, I like to break them in slow, so everything gets a chance to seat in, then ride it like you want - has worked for me with a lot of sleds!!!

When I took my 2021 RTL in for the first oil change at LaMonsters, the mechanic said that the 1330's don't start putting out full power until over 5K--so it's true!

Ace motors in snowmobiles, 600 and 900's seem to have a 500-mile break in. Then again, those motors have a normal operating range of 4500 to 8000 rpm.
Spyders are not wound up that tight all the time so I can see it having a longer break in time.
Main thing is fully warmed up before you send it.

I have a friend who owned a new motorcycle dealership for many years. They sold Honda, Kawasaki, and Moto Guzzi. He always told me and anyone else who bought a new bike to 'just go ride the thing'. Break in to him made no sense at all. This article certainly says the same thing if not a bit more extreme. I mean who ever heard of breaking in a motocross bike? Nope, just run it like you stole it from the start and all will be good.
