He's an idiot and doesn't even know how rings actually initially seal. He can claim all he wants but fact is he's full of manure. I've got quite possibly as many engines on the road as he does, several with over 100K on the clock, several that make really stout power numbers, several that GM had to stand behind.

He claims that the piston on the right was after a full season racing. He's lying and I'd tell him to his face. The right piston has never been fired, the left piston is sealed beautifully. Why do I say that? Look at the carbon, the left piston has obviously been run and has lots of miles. His claim of blowby is BS, if so then the skirt would have evidence of that blowby. That much carbon from oil sucking up alone would foul the plugs. It's from burning gas. The right piston, even if run under perfect conditions for five minutes, would at minimum be tanned on the dome just like a spark plug.

Will it be fine if you run the piss out of it? Yes. Will it get hurt if you run the piss out of it? Not unless something catastrophic happens but that would happen either way you run it. Will you get max longevity out of it? Nope. Am I going to speculate how much longer it'll last, how much power is to be made either way or that puppies will die if you don't follow the OE procedure? Hell no. Because there's always someone that will counter with how they followed motoman and went 300K miles without even a drop of oil loss and they dynoed 10HP higher than the guy that followed the factory manual and had to rebuild at 25K.

If you want maximum life from your engines follow the book. Every single manufacturer has a break in procedure of some type even if it's just a recommendation to vary engine speed for a few hundred miles like my 2010 car. It's not to protect you from the awesome power or it would look pretty silly to that guy that just got a Ninja 250. Plus with modern computers it would be near zero cost to set the fuel cutoff to 6500 for 600 miles. It's because rings chatter as they go up and down, they have sharp edges rubbing against a steel wall with sharp honing marks. Higher speed makes it worse and constant speed lets a wear pattern build up. Simple as that.

I do agree with him on one point. No synthetic until fully broken in. Syn is too slick and the rings won't break in which can let it burn oil like you wouldn't believe. Doesn't happen every time but can.

Congrats on the new bike and have fun! It took me less than three weeks to get past break in and 6500 in sixth is way past superspeeder numbers anyway.

I agree with you 100%. Don't baby it, but don't over rev it initially. I've always had great compression with many miles on the 12 bikes I've owned.
 
Don't get discouraged if you can't ride it much more than 20 minutes at a time when you first ride it. Your body will take time to adjust to the riding position. You can mitigate that with helibars/riser and buell pegs (try "search" for plenty of explanation), but seat time is the only way to truly conquer it. Good luck be safe not stupid live longer.

Serious?
When I bought my 09 I flew into Midland airport got picked up did the paper work unpacked my helmet from my backpack and jumped on my new Hayabusa to ride it straight through 470 miles in a lil over 6 hours stopping for gas and smoke breaks.
 
Yep. I guess that only some people have to adjust. I already have around 800 miles on my busa and that is only with 4 days of riding. Work and weather won't let me ride.
 
Id beat the piss out of the motor for break in.

:rofl:
+1
Just about blew a knut when I scolled down and read this after all the percautions and such before it...
Good stuff...
:rofl:

Welcome.... Takes some pics of that girl when ya get'r home!!
 
Good, I'm glad pictures worked. I rode it yesterday for the first time in the rain. Kinda like a pressure washer at 100+ haha. Cleaned all the bugs off.
