• 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.

Thoughts on Engine Break-in procedure?

Tried to do most of what they recomened.Drive it hard, seat the rings good.Personally changed oil early at 550 miles ,my motor is really coming on strong.Good Luck
 
I remember reading this way back when. I opened mine up a few times during the break-in period. I also would run in various gears down the road to allow higher / lower RPMs without speeding (or without speeding too much). The dealership never brought anything up about higher RPMs detected during my 650 mile service so I figure I'm good.
 
What about the part about changing the oil after just 20miles ?
If so, what brand and rating oil should be used?
 
Oh, I guess I don't remember reading that part. I did not follow those break in instructions to the letter. I just remembered some of it when I was initially riding my Spyder and that kinda gave me confidence to run it occasionally at higher RPMs during the break in period.
