[busa boyz]

first 500 under 4k,500-1000 under 6k ...is this right ? do I really need to wait till after 1000 miles to take it over 6k.

Did two busa's... First by the book, second ... full on. Number two is the winner...

nope. You should be bumping redline by 100 miles.

I hear ya, I kept it under 5 for the first 50 miles, then bumped 5 a few times up to 6k up to three, now I'm hitting it pretty hard. From what I have read I think the key is to let it completly cool off as much as you can until 1k. I think they are more worried about early engine problems than how the bike will actually perform in the long run.. Look at how they break in race motor's on the dyno.

Start the bike... and wack the throttle to your hearts content!! Thats the best way to break in

I took it easy on mine (nothing over 7k), for about 60 miles then I rode the shid out of it.
