Break in miles and top end speeds

[Randy J Beyer]

Yes I agree with Mike on break-in!

Just changed oil at 2200 miles and went to Yamaha 50% synthetic which I will run for 1500 miles then full synthetic after that.

06 GT and sled got faster with more miles no question about it !

You should see 120 on dream-meter after more miles.

Radar or GPS about 112 or 113 is about right.

Thats hard ice with small amount of snow for lube !

MXD, you might think about gearing down your 06 GT. They came with a 24/38. I think you would be very impressed with a 23/38 and that right there would pick your revs up into the 10,500 plus range. 10,300 isn't quite getting it done. There happiest in the 10,500-10900 area. Not to mention your acceleration will greatly increase and they are much mor snappy and fun to ride geared down. I think the 07 even come from the factory this way?

How far are you running to see 112=115 on radar. I was at Lanzi's this weekend and I would say about 1200' or so I was getting 106 GPS. Any one know how long the Drag strip is at Lanzi's on Sacandaga Lake. Upstate NY

@ 1000' the dream-o-meter was reading 117 and the radar 101.9 ( sled has only 600 miles )

My 07 rtx with 500 miles on it would only make 103 on the speedo and then 109 later that same day, hoping its gets a little faster.
