Just keep checking your oil when you start approaching 10,000 miles. A lot of guys are having problems with them burning it. But other than that I've heard it's a absolute superb bike! Congrats!

Makes me wonder how those guys having troubles with "Oil consumtion".... How'd they run in their NEW engines... Did they Baby them for a hundred, 200, 500 or thousand miles or run them in hard from the get go?

I've read with todays machining and materials it is Important to run the engines in hard right from the begining... Oil change 20 miles and continue.

Which is how I broke in My RC51... 45,000+ miles on her and she doesn't use any oil!:rockon

OH Yeah,... Sweet CBR Utah:rockon

Thanks!

I do agree about running in the engines as I would ride the bike normally....hard that is.

Yeah the debate will never abate . I think the manufacturers have more at stake so their break-in procedure of varying rpm , not droning , increasing rpm gradually but not staying at redline for long is the best way .

I've had a lot of dealer people tell me that the engines are broke in at the factory! Don't know if I put a lot of merit into that! I do break my bikes in with a "gentle" ride it like its meant to be!:rockon

 

[DRFLGD]

Great lookin bike by the way! Congrats!
