I love this bike.

So far I've put 75 miles on the new vfr. Damn, I love this bike but I HATE the break in period. My God, keeping this under 4000 rpm is like digging a knife in my back. 600 miles can't get here fast enough.

 

hey k9style00, welcome and congratulations on the new bike. :yo:

 

I hope you enjoy your new bike. I don't recall seeing any rpm recommendations in my owners manual I just rode the snot out of mine.

 

The faster you ride the faster the 600 comes ............

 

Yea what Reg says, heavy topic if you ask me. funny I'd be all over this one but I'm tired, so I'll let someone else gime in. Congrats on the ride

 

:smash: wow 4000rpm i didnt know that, how do ya keep it on the hwy without getting run over. I kept it under vtec threshold for the first 1000ks it was hard and more than a few times i took it over 7 i just couldnt help my self.
congratulations on the new bike

 

Check your owner's manual. Break-in is only 300 miles. First service is 600 miles.

 

That's pretty interesting. Does that really work? I mean have any of you guys tried it?

 

read the article on the alternative break in. Makes sense to me. I've put 80 miles on so far and dealer told me to keep it under 4k and definately not over 5k. Screw that. I'm gonna let her loose when I get home tonight. It sucks even staying under 5, but I can definately tell the bike feels better at 5 and higher.

 

I made it like 200 miles staying under Vtech, then Id go to Vtech once or twice a ride, now im around 800 and i live up in vtech. love it. Restraint was never a strength of mine....
After 300, ride it like your gonna ride it at 2000, have fun!!
