    I haven't ever taken it that easy on a new motor, I ride it close to the same as normal but without thrashing it it or lugging the motor

    Sounds about right. One board I used to watch included people who prepared race engines in the USA, some said more heat cycles were preferable to less. They would not have approved of the guy I worked with who bought a bike Friday and took it back Monday for its first service. Not that he would've cared, it was a GN250.

    Sweeping statements regarding engine run in, are as retarded as a racist range.

    ...no...just an eclectic range of musical likes...I'm a heavy rocker...Tool features big time until I fuck off into the world of Vivalda or Chopin...Black Sabbath always brings me back to reality, or Roger Whittaker...the sound of a nicely running '70s Bonnie makes me quiver too...
