For brand new bikes that is. Do you wait the reccomended 600 or so miles of break in to put the aftermarket pipe on? or you put it on right away after you leave the dealership? Does it hurt the bike/engine in any way? or it doesnt matter when you put your pipe on?

I brought my bike home with 0 miles on it. Put on a micron slipon and numerous other mods. Then put 2000 miles on it and put a Akrapovic full system on.

The bike is very strong with almost 17,000 miles on it.

I waited about 600 miles or about a month.

It had nothing to do with the bike though. That's how long it took for me to convince my wife that I needed to spend more money to get the exhaust.
