Ryan called me too. I'm #41 so that means I should see a bike....sorta soon. The next step will be to do the break-in. I understand that the recommended procedure is to stay under 5K rpm for the first 500 miles. That runs counter to what I have done with every other new bike I have bought. I'm inclined to the 'aggressive break-in' school where you try to seat the rings by doing full throttle acceleration in gears 2-5...going to about 6K...and then decelerating with engine braking. This tends to seat the rings nicely. Now, I understand that the RX3 has already been run up to redline by the factory..in fact, up to 84 mph on the dyno. In addition, CSC has already changed the oil so I'm starting with an engine that has clean oil and has already done max performance. With all that said, what's the deal with staying below 5K rpm for the first 500 miles? Exactly what are we bedding in?
