And wow is she heavy. j/k. She's beautiful. :boobies I love the new silver color and the power delivery. :rock I haven't really gotten on her hard but it's alot nicer than having to rev the hell out of my R6 to get going. :thumbup
What is the best procedure for breaking her in?
Thanks

Heat cycles. 20 - 30 min at a time then shut it off and let it cool. Vary the throttle. City driving works well for this. Don't crank it open, but don't lug it and watch those revs at first. Oil and filter change early -300-500 miles. This will be the worst your oil will ever be so don't let it sit in the motor for 2500 miles or something. This is how I broke in my R1, I now have 60,000km and no troubles. I had it dynoed right before I modded it and had the most powerful stock R1 the operator had ever seen. (Just that day he dynoed 7 R1's)
