I also tried reading the manual which states following the run in procedure needs to have special attention paid to it--then I read the whole damn manual and see zero parts of it on engine break in--the only tidbit is a sticker on my bike's oil tank stating change oil at 300 km (180-190 miles) & don't exceed 50kmh (30mph) during that time. so Im going to take it a little further and maybe try to keep my speeds low until about 360-600 miles, if I can. I already get it up to an indicated 35 mph on the regular, sometimes rarely and briefly up to as much as 40, although I try to not hold anything above a a speedo indicated 33 mph for long during my break in. Also the service manual is maybe a little confusing to me as to oil change intervals since it states the months and mileage on one page and then lists oil changes on a seperate page i can't tell for sure whether they want oil changes every 2500 or every 600 miles. I think it would be 600 out of the 2 choices to be safe, especially if pushing 8,000 rpm constantly during hot months after break in--& with the friction additives for the wet clutch. So anyways, after break-in, How often should I change my motor oil? I wanted to add a new question since this thread is on a roll lately. My question is: Why do people reccomend using Conventional Motor Oil during break-in and then people usually say switch to synthetic after break in? Why not just use synthetic from the first start? ![]() 1st gear is still pretty useless, heck maybe it's even dangerously slow, after being a ways into my engine break in. Although since getting a little break in done or maybe the crimp just came out of my fuel line my second gear now gets me up to like 17 mph without screaming/pushing it too much
