Re:new bike new hear 3 Years, 3 Months ago  


break it in like a new engine, keep an eye and ear to it real close, have heard a lot of horror stories with bikes after recalls, and lots of good job well done dealer really took care of me stories.

do a real good 100 mile check for loose nuts and bolts and again at 500.

some change out the oil and filter at 100, I usually wait till 500 unless I am really hard on it during break in.. all in how good all the components are..

upgrade to a quality synthetic oil and that will quite down the valve noise and keep it running cooler.

again welcome to the clinic, any help you need with figuring out your roadie, this forum will have it.

Break it in hard and fast on Dino oil then change over to synthetic after 500 miles.
