Don -- Excellent info. on the ins and outs of running in a new engine -- thanks.

It sounds like you think periodic (not sustained) full throttle is OK within the factory break-in rev limits? Is that correct?

When I broke in my 05 Sprint last August, mostly on day rides from Missoula MT over Lolo Pass - Hwy. 12 in Montana and Idaho (what a great road to break in a Sprint on!), I used full throttle out of every corner, but within the factory limits plus 1,000 revs after 100 miles.

So far so good (2,200 miles), but I won't really know until I put about 60 or 80,000 miles on her, will I?

Cheers,
Jack
