i found in a showroom brand new, never used cbr 600 f4i. bike has 0 miles on it. i paid for it but will start riding it only in this coming spring.. how shall i break it in? my mechanic will take care of all oil changes, new battery etc...
but if someone knows how to ride the first miles.. rpm?, can i have passenger? please let me know!!
thanks

 

first, change the tires, oil and brake fluid, even though its been sitting.
Other than that, just take it easy for about 500 miles, low rpm and try not to keep it steady rpm; but really with modern engines tolerances are so tight a break in BS.
In fact some high en engine builders say its better to drive a new engine in hard because the rings seat in properly.

 

^ second that!
When rebuilding my engine in my civic I was told to drive it hard for that very same reason. Then once you've done that change the oil again after 500 miles or so and you should be good... that's just what i was told. Now don't go redlining it in every gear but don't be afraid to get on it.

 

Run it HARD

Very good read on new motors

Congrats on the find and get us some pix on that new f4i!!

 

Very important to change tire.. your life depend on it ..

 

yupp even if the tread is brand new, the tire is old, dry, and might crack then pop

 

hope you got a great deal on it since there will definitely be some maintenance items to deal with...perhaps even a bad FPR or rusted tank from the gas sitting so long.

+1 for new tires, that's very important.

 

Pics pics pics !!!

 

What a find! That's some amazing stuff, I would FOR SURE change the tires just as everybody is suggesting, don't skimp on 'em either. Quality tires make such a HUGE difference.

Post some pics! =)

 

change all you fluids is a BIG one...and your tires as well! most of all be safe and have fun!!!
