lol...

 

Very nice bike, If I could afford one thats the one I'd get. I had to settle on an 05 1000RR in all black(euro/asian color scheme) with stainless lines, Mivv x-cone dual slip-ons (LOUD!) nice aftermarket rearsets and some other goodies. I pick mine up this saturday. I absolutely love the 05 and with all the improvements on the 08's it must be an amazing bike.

 

Take the cable loose at the servo motor and the exhaust will always sound like that...Thats what I did to my all black one.

 

I just brought home my 08 1000 but its sitting in my garage cuz mother nature felt like pissen in Massachustt's all day. Nothings worse then buyin that baby and sitten here on the computer .

Oh well,

The bike is nuts thought. Ive never rode a 1000, all 600's my whole life and the mere turn of a throttle and Im already at 50mph

Im curious,

Im hearing mixed opinions on breaking the bike in.

Do I need to keep it under 6k RPMS ? for the first 1000 mils ? the manual says 300 miles go slow after that im fine

thanks

 

Vary your rpms for 200 miles, but no redline. after 200 let it RIP!!

 

yup, i have

 

what? you sure 200 ?

The Manual says wait for 300

Plus I have heard from numerious mechanics dont accelerate very fast or be hard on the bike until the first 1000miles

Im curious as to why they say this

 

There are tons of different opinions on break in. Personally i think ride it like you stole it right away, just dont stay at high rpm's for long periods.

 

I kept it under 5k for 300 then 7-8ish till 600 then i opened her up once or twice on the way to 1k now it's my bitch.
