Picked up the a Silver one yesterday. Read the article from that motorhead guy about first 20 miles of breakin and went with my other friends advice to just follow the manual: don't go at constant RMP, stay below 5500 for 500, tune at 600 etc etc
but my Question is WHAT EXACTLY do I do on the throttle?? Obviously, I'll keep it to or below 5500 RPM, and go thru all the gears getting them broke in too, but I'm rolling on alot and then letting completely off it and varying - zooming up, dropping back, zooming up, droping back,annoying my fellow rider - other than that how do I avoid constant RPM's? I can't rollon for more than 2 seconds before breaking the speed limit for the state in ANY gear. I also seem to spend to much time in the 1.5 - 3000 range not enough in 4-5500 range cause I end up speeding again.
This is my first NEW bike and I am clueless about breakin.
All advice appricaited.
After I become a seasoned veteran, I'll give back to this wonderful community forum.
Also, I found that FALSE NEUTRAL tween 5 and 6 people talk about - about 5 times last night.
Oh well, I just compensate around that glitch - or maybe it's my shifting.
Love the bike, love the forum, love life!
