I ordered a new night train and I am putting a bunch of new parts on it before I even get to ride it home from the dealer. Does anyone know if I put new pipes on when the bike is new with no miles on it and the pipes do not have baffles in them, is that going to hurt the break in on the bike?

 

No. I am doing the same with the FXSTS I ordered. I was always told not to rev thru the gears and take it easy the first 100 miles. Also to keep it under 50 MPH.

 

I did the same thing. Just go light on it the first couple hundred miles.

Is it EFI or Carb? Might have to remap (for the pipes) if it is the EFI. But I'm sure your dealer is taking care of that for you.

Later and enjoy the Train. I know that I'm enjoying mine.

Per the manual, you need to keep it under 3000rpm for the first 50 miles and 3500rpm for the first 500 miles. There's a table in the manual to tell you what speed that is in each gear - you can get it up to 70 in 5th. Exhaust change shouldn't be a problem.

 

I put the pipes on my 06 NT after 500 miles.

 

no way, before i took my train out of the shop, i had the big radius, stage one and remap, no problems, don't sweat it, enjoy the ride , just remember don't over extend that throttle right out the start gate[sm=drooldude.gif], give it 400-500 miles
cheers
