Speedo is in km of course. and its a brake-in so not over 5000-6000 rpm. the other video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDUH2soj0I&list=PLaBTNqlta_Dab47Qd1NeLQBEuSuJO5F29 is without showing speedo also for legal reason-way too much. ooo and around 7.20 u have a footpeg scrathing>Love those twisties, just seem to go on forever. Would be nice to ride there. Wonder if speedo is in km/h or m/hr, could not tell.
Lumberjack - like guys have said, breaking in the bike seems to be very contentious issue with varying views, but a very important issue in actual fact. It sets the tone for the longevity and performance of the engine. Do yourself a favour and read as many views on it and then decide for yourself, cause its your bike at the end of the day and you have to live with it. Some say "ride like you stole it" and others say just follow the manufacturers manual. My personal view - if you ride it like dud, its probably going to be like a dud; and if you ride it like champion, its going to be like a champion.
Most dealers are staffed by morons. What does the manual say, from the people who design and build your engine?My dealer said to keep under 5K rpm for first 500-600miles.
You mean like the same engineers that build mirrors that don't stay in place, TC switches that stick, brake calipers that get recalled, program snatchy throttles, or design heated grips that fail. Yeah. I'll break my engine in MY way.Most dealers are staffed by morons. What does the manual say, from the people who design and build your engine?

Ehh, touche, but those are more of manufacturing/assembly issues, sans the throttle issues. My right mirror just came loose yesterday.You mean like the same engineers that build mirrors that don't stay in place, TC switches that stick, brake calipers that get recalled, program snatchy throttles, or design heated grips that fail.
