Sorry Ollie, I have to agree with shorty. Speak to the dealers when you buy your bike. They will guide you. Also read the user manual for run in revs. Surely it is the makers of the bikes that know exactly how engines must be run in, no? The oil that is in the engine from manufacturer is thinner so this is why you shouldn't exceed a certain amount of revs, until first service and the thicker stuff goes in. Iirc I last year when I ran mine in was up to 5000 for the first 100 miles then up to 6000 for the next 500. Then the book says after 1st service up to 8000 for the next 500 miles. After that job done. It killed me to do this, but I daren't do any other on a brand new bike. Over that running in period I may have gone over the recommended revs by mistake a few times while accelerating, but they weren't held overly long. As the miles went by I could actually feel the engine bedding in and getting stronger, especially after first service. shorty was only giving you straight up sensible advice. (That's hoe I read it) I don't know why you felt the need for that outburst. At the end of the day though, it's your bike. Ride it how you like
