RE: Breaking in Rules
Well, if you can still see the rubber "****" that were on the middle of the tires when you rolled it off the show room floor, you may have not broken it in right!
if you have 700 to 1K miles and you do a compression test, and its lower then the average in the service manual, you didnt break it in right!
I thinks its kinda hard to do unless you dont ride it much and never get here warmed up enough.

RE: Breaking in Rules
If it's more than a year old and you haven't had your 1,000 mile service yet...It's not broke in right
If you have more chrome than miles...It's not broke in right
If the weatherman said 10% chance of afternoon showers so you took the car...It's not broke in right

RE: Breaking in Rules
Dont lug it and go put some miles on if you put enough miles on in the first year you will know if you did a bad job and it will be on the company to fix any major problems. If you go more than a year and everything is still fine you are probably good to go for a long time. Most imporant part of breaking a new motor in is getting the metal shavings out at the right time after break in(oil changed at 1000 miles) after that ride as much as your A** can take.
