Calling all Burgman owners

[Pogo2]

As I am about to embark on Burgman ownership next week I have a question about the running in proceedure. It seems a bit ironic that after buying a 400 I will need to spend the first 1000km not going above 4000rpm. I have it on good authority that this transpires to about 50kph.

So, if you had your burger from new how did you run it in - exactly as per the manual, fairly close to the manuals instructions or did you just go for it?

Interested to hear your experiences.

Cheers
Mark

i didnt really keep mine under 4k just road it .but dont keep at one rev range or too long wont hurt to rev to 8k or so just vary it a bit. take at least 100kms to run tires in so take care first service due at 600kms most important get it done on time no if buts or anything .

Go for it?
On a Burgman?
Are you serious?

My new Burgman 400 'goes for it' - I saw 140 on the speedo today and it was still winding up. Handles as well as the Moto Guzzi I used to have. Makes the Vespa 200PX
I used up in Paihia for years seem like a "model T". I did over 30,000 Kms on the vespa without complaint, it never let me down. The 125 Suzuki Epicuro I purchased new broke down at about 1000km. Not serious but annoying
