Vary the RPMs which means stay away from the freeways for awhile.

Rode mine home 120 miles on the freeway......Still runs great 4000 miles later.

I had to ride mine about 110 miles but I was able to stay off the freeway after a few miles. A guy at work got his from Bartels HD and claimed they made him trailer it home. Me and a buddy looked at each other and tightly closed our lips to keep from laughing at his BS story.

Don't baby it too much. Rev it up a little through the gears. Most would advise this I think.
