How to break in your spyder

[blacklightning]

Well, I was told to not hold the RPM's at a steady pace too long, and to not get on the brakes too hard.
So, on day one, I took my new spyder out to run the Dragon, Moonshiner 28, and some great surrounding roads (270 miles)
Day 2 it rained, so we only logged in 200 miles of mountain riding.
And day 3, I did the Dragon again, and the Cherohola skyway (another 250 miles).
Now with a little over 1,100 miles, I am ready to put this baby to the test and see what it will really do.

Blacklightning,
You did good breaking in your new 2016 F3T ryding the Dragon, etc.
The best method is to alternate between short bursts of hard acceleration, & deceleration (hard engine braking), helps seal the rings.

Blacklightning actually refers to the only vehicle that I have kept for more than 12 years, and plan to keep for many years to come. Been through a total of 14 bikes, and 29 cars/trucks, but this one is a keeper.
