Just head out, bearing in mind you can't just drop the bike straight in, and just lean a few degrees further each corner, then they'll be done in no time, just don't gas it straight off, cos it'll spin up.. And don't do it in the wet/damp either..

This is pretty much what I do....

I scrub my tyres in by riding home from Motorad via the Wainuiomata coast road. It's about an 80km trip and has a good series of corners, the best for "scrubbing" purposes being all of those coarse chip off-camber corners on the Wainuiomata hill road. And it's a fun ride of an evening...

Not to much of a problem as i am used to rolling burnouts when a tyre conservation move doesn't quite work but other than that nothing much. The front is giving me heaps of confidence and the rear heaps of feedback so all is good. I just was wondering why the 100km thingy and how some people do it. I've done 60km on them and i feel like i could start to get a bit more adventurous in the corners.........

why don't you buy some Z6's .... they are such good tire and good price too

Just saw my 750 today... its fully naked... but its coming back together.!!! YAY

simple, i can sum it up in one word.. KAIMAI'S. but if i am really lucky and i get tyres down in wellington its p'hill

. quick fang (after the proper intial wearing in) for about 15-20min and your away.

scrubbing in new tyres is more than just wearing off the shiney.
a new tyre is also a little stiff and it takes a little while for them to start to loosen up properly and flex as they are meant to. a person who knows what theyre doing can scrub a new tyre in in under 10k easy. just start easy warm em up a bit then give em a light workout. warming them up by heavy braking can do more damage than good with a new tyre. now i cant remember where i read the last tyre run in thread. ok after a websearch i found this page
