The fact is by the time an engine starts to show adverse signs of bad break in period the bike is in the hands of someone new. Like the previous poster said it's crazy to follow advice like this unless the guy has two identical bikes and runs the engine in using both philosophies....and then sees what they look like after say 100,000 miles.

I remember an article in a motor magazine that took two identicle New York taxis and changed the oil every 6000 miles in one and every 3000 in the other. They stripped the engines down and found no difference in actual wear.

Just mentioned this as I would have thought the opposite...I just wish someone would show us the evidence rather than hearsay.
