Thanks for getting this thread back on track. Operator's Guide is pretty vague as far as "prolonged riding" is concerned. I agree varying speed/RPMs for 500 miles or so should be sufficient for an adequate break-in. Just couldn't imagine having to do that for 3000 miles! Asked the questions to see what some/more of the 14 RT owners are doing to "avoid prolonged riding" during the 3000 mile break-in period. Thanks again...

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.
Why so long...

Post number 3 was on track, unless of course you clicked me on ignore for some unknown reason. Lol

No Iron Butts...not a problem. Am gonna do a 400-500 mile day ryde to Maggie Valley about a week or so after getting my hands on my 14 RT-L.
Nope SNOOPY I have not muzzled (aka ignored) you. I agree, post number 3 was spot on and your post number 5 was relevant...can't say the same for posts from a few others though.

On my 2012 I noticed that it's performance improved at about 6,500 miles or so. Why? Snoopy and Bob both said it was because it got used to itself. I think that is good. I get the 600 mile service repeated every 3,000 miles....like clockwork. The Spyder is one tight, nimble, and very sparkly machine!

Glad that you're diggin' it! :2thumbs:
But your service interval could be over 9,000 miles with the new 1330... :bowdown:

I don't care what they say about service intervals, no way I would push oil past 5000 miles w/ synthetic, or 3500 miles on conventional.
You may disagree...so be it. roflmao

sorry. I take it back....I am guilty, stupid, evil, old, fat, irresponsible. However, I am NOT a democrat.

It wouldn't matter to me. I would maintain it at about 50 hours of engine run time (3000 miles) anyway. I'm kind of a nut about that...well, not "kind of". I am a nut. However, I buy my vehicles new and normally keep them until they suffer multi organ failure--about 260,000 miles or so.
