13 streetbob breakin
hello all, just upgraded to a 2013 SB, my ??? is i want to go out of town in a few days but unsure if i can ride her on the highway approx. 120 miles, or should i just break it in around the city first? almost don't want to go if i can't take her.

Seriously? Ride her, get her serviced after 1000 miles.

Vary your speed a bit and/or switch between 5th & 6th gear cause you don't want to keep it at the same rpm for long periods of time during break in. When you get passed 500 miles you can rev it up a bit more but wait till after 1,000 to really get on it.

This. My dad got a new bike about 6 years ago and the next weekend he took it on a 400+ mile trip.
