Break in period

[MadmachZ]

Brand new 2011 xtx. I know the manual states what the break in period should be...Did anyone do anything different???

I would just ride it normal with some wot thrown in, nothing crazy but i wouldnt baby it either. There have been many posts about this too, do a search and see what u find.

RIDE IT LIKE U STOLE IT!!!!

That's basicly what the motoguy says! Seat those rings and don't even idle it in the garage to show your friends. WOT every chance baby!!

Is the guy credible??? Has anyone else just went out and dropped the hammer on their new sled??? Sounds fun though...

Basic rule of thumb I have always used, don't stay at any one RPM for too long. Keep varrying your RPM with some WOTs thrown in. And as stated, try not to let it sit there idling for an hour.

I agree. Just ride it like you usually would, and open it up once and a while.

You don't want to baby it, or you could end up with a pooch. And you don't want to go out and hold it wide open for miles on end either.

I did exactly as recommended by the motoguy. I don't burn a drop, and I'm extremely happy with the results.

there is alot of articles on the web of both sides of the the issue of break in periods for 4stroke motors, I would belive that the site posted above is very credible.

110+MPH? C'Mon man! these Nytros wil be lucky to hit triple digits going downhill with teh wind at your back! Oh wait a minute! You have teh Curves on there which is good for another 10mph.
