Well, it doesn't have to done on a dyno to be done hard. I'll post that link that I found in here so that others can read it and see what they think. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htmbulldogdefensivetacl said:
break in period
well i have to read some on my own also but i was just curious b/c captain led me to realize the hard runing break in might work also
so what do you think is the right way to break it in
1: the manuel
2: the hard riding ((Dyno) way

Yeah, my manual doesn't actually mention varying the speeds, but that's something that I've known for awhile. The R6 manual says to "avoid prolonged operation above 7000 RPM for the first 600 miles and above 9000 RPM from 600 to 1000 miles." It doesn't say squat about keeping the engine below those rev points. I definitely varied the RPM's over the course of my 100 mile trip today and while I ran it up to 10K a couple times, I never kept it above 7000 for more than a few short bursts.No Worries said:Captain, I saw that once before, but the guy says not to break-in the bike easy like the manual says. Here's what my 15-year-old manual says for break-in on my bike:
1. "Never lug the engine."
2. "Maximum continuous (my underline) engine speed during the first 600 miles must not exceed 5,000 rpm."
3. "Drive briskly, vary speeds frequently and use full throttle for short bursts only."
My 76 Jeep manual said the same thing (except for the 5,000 rpm) and I have a quarter million miles on the engine with good compression.
Well, I hope I haven't ruined it by riding the way I did. But like I said, I didn't completely baby it. After this first oil change, it will get a little more of a work out.twisty said:In order to seat the rings you need to ride the bike how it is going to ridden.

The most important part to a "break in" is in the oil change! Regardless how much you beat on it or how you decide to break it in, change the oil ( and filter, DUH) alot during the first 2000 miles!!! VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!
That's pretty much what I'm doing as well.
