Breakin for new bikes

Here's a site i found when researching alternative motorcycle filters.
It's a good read on motorcycle breakin procedures.

to summarize: vary the rpm's for the first 50 miles, then change oil/filter. Ride hard again for next 100-200 miles, change oil/filter. then it's good to go...

This is how i broke in my 1992 zx7 to get it ready for the track. I had a few weeks to get a showroom bike to track readiness. I started racing it at around 250 miles on the odometer.

I also did this with my wife's 2003 Chev Suburban. The oil change tech thought I was nuts to be changing oil/filter at 100, 500, then 1000 miles.

here's the oil filter cross reference: http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterXRef.html
