Hi all,

I passed my Full this morning, and picked this beast up at lunch time :)

All I can say is WOW! :eek:, Still only took it above 8k once (Oops) due to the break in.

Well, where do I start.. To be honest, I don't actually think I will ever need more power... Even taking it relatively easy, its great.

I can see why people say a 750 or Thou is such a huge step (Dangerous step). I am certain I have made the right decision with the 600. Its just mind blowing compared to a CBR250rr that I am used to.

Parts are ordered and on the way which are -

Fender Eliminator
K&N Filter
Black Micron Slip-on
Pro Bolt kits (Going Gold and Black)

I already have some Pazzo levers, as pictured below!

Here are some pics, I will add the pics with all the parts when they arrive too :msn-wink:

Haha, I am actually getting some custom GSXR Vinyls done too.

Attached below - Although, I might just take the girl off the 600 logos... And just have the 600 in plain gold. Plus will not be the see through bikini as in the 600 logos on the final product.

Congrats. Break it in properly, make sure the engine is warm and drive it to the redline as much as you like, as long as you are loading the engine properly. Also change oil and filter very soon. There is a website about this somewhere, I am too lazy to look right now...

The very best engines get run in on a dyno at the factory. Do they take them to the redline? THEY SURE AS HELL DO.

Hey Maki,

This would be what you are referring too?

I have read this before... It puts me in two minds lol... Who do you beleive?

Just ride it like you're always going to ride it. Personally, I reckon the mototune method is a bit harsh. Avoid lugging the engine or full throttle for the first 1600km or so, then wring it's neck :shifty:

Yes, that's the one. This sounds like a good idea:

"Change Your Oil Right Away !!
The best thing you can do for your engine is to change your oil and filter after the first 20 miles. Most of the wearing in process happens immediately, creating a lot of metal in the oil. Plus, the amount of leftover machining chips and other crud left behind in the manufacturing process is simply amazing !! You want to flush that stuff out before it gets recycled and embedded in the transmission gears, and oil pump etc..."

Read this to learn more:

So run your engine in correctly, change the oil and filter very soon, use the correct oil, and enjoy the full performance of your engine pretty much from day 1.
