First 500 Miles
Hi Group,
The dealership told me to stay within 2000 and 3000 rpms. is this true? What did you do for your first 500 miles?
Thank You for your Time and Consideration.

RE: First 500 Miles
dealer didn't wink that would have been a little strange but he
did tell me not do worry about the break in as that would get me run over here in so cal
on the freeway so I rode it like I always do ( some say I should change that)
so far no problems 24.000 miles

My dealer made a big deal about the break in. Even high
lighted it in the owner's manual.

RE: First 500 Miles
Mine told me about it, but it is so much different than my first harley. I mean under 55 for the first 50 miles just meant I went to some twisties. Under 70 for the next 450 just meant I stayed off the freeway, which is quite easy to do where I live. Honestly, I took it to 90 at about 400 miles and am not too worried
