Nice! Keep us posted on those tires, and how 8400 RPMs feel >=] I'm at 400 miles, still need a little bit >.<
Same here, been riding it like I stole it, but minus a couple notches.Am I the only one here who did a hard break in and have been riding it at all rpm ranges? I just try to avoid sitting at a constant rpm and minimize high rpm time.. but I have been having a lot of fun giving it some gas. Currently right under 300 miles..
Nope, did my hard break-in during my first week of ownership lol. At 1200+ miles now.Am I the only one here who did a hard break in and have been riding it at all rpm ranges?

I'm the same way. I've been taking it easy on my new R3. Keeping the RPM's under 8k for the first 600 miles. After I do the 600-mile oil change, then it's time to let her RIP!I feel that the first 600 miles are crucial because of the contamination of the oil from steel dust that winds up in the oil and filter. But I guess I am old fashioned when it comes to dealer recommended break-in periods.
I read into this a while back and it made sense to me.I feel that the first 600 miles are crucial because of the contamination of the oil from steel dust that winds up in the oil and filter. But I guess I am old fashioned when it comes to dealer recommended break-in periods.
I agree with some of the points mentioned in the article.I read into this a while back and it made sense to me.
