..and hauling a passenger shouldn't have any effect on break-in...

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..

this is how I broke mine in 53k miles ago.. I mean by the book

the Son had all of his last 3 bikes broke in on the Dyno with less than 20 miles on them and had Zero issues with them..
and they all have been faster than my mine..

Heres another thought on how to break in a new bike...

http://mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

the only thing I wouldn't do is lug the engine,, which is running the engine way too low of RPM's where as the bike shutters...instead of running smooth.. to me that'd under 2000 maybe 2100 rpms. in 6th.

What are you waiting for? Ride it like you stole it. That's the best way to break em in.

Get down on it man!!! I feel the 103 mostly when doing over 60 on the freeway and feel the need to go 90 all the sudden. whoooooosh!!
