2008 Hayabusa engine...

[Over_Easy]

Most have subscribed to "break it in like you stole it"...I did with my 06'.

However, the 08' engine is upgraded so is it still okay to "break it in like you stole it?"

As long as the engine doesnt break, and the dealership says: sorry computer tells us you doubled the max rpm's required for break in.

Never mind, I'm just paranoid, you might want to check out the link I started this morning:

That is basically what I follow with all of my vehicles. Right out of the dealership I find the biggest hill I can on the highway, put it in 4th and climb it WOT. Let it rest, and repeat a few times. Change the oil soon afterwards with regular oil. Around 1,000 miles - switch to synthetic. Done.

I only hit the rev limiter on the way home from the dealership with Isabella once.

Just follow the manufacturers instructions and do it the way the engineers at Suzuki intended. Racing motors are broken in diffferently because their specs and components are different.

I'd end up without my license or a lot worse if I rode mine like i stole it

I passed a couple of times the 10k revs on Zephyr during break in, hope I didn't screw anythin'
