This is great stuff, but the question that I am left with is the best way to do it? Is there are certain RPM range that I should be hitting in every gear withing the first 100 miles? For example, on the FJR forums they have specific ways to break in their bikes. Here is what they have to say:
"VERY IMPORTANT -- Get the bike up to operating temps first.
Using 1/2 throttle, run from 4,000 to 6,000 rpm, then roll the throttle off completely until the rpms drop back to 4,000. Do this in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. Ride normally for a few miles.
Using 3/4 throttle, run from 4,000 to 7,500 rpm, then roll the throttle off completely until the rpms drop back to 4,000. Do this in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. Ride normally for a few miles.
Using full throttle, run from 3,000 to redline, then roll the throttle off completely until the rpms drop back to 3,000. Do this in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. Ride normally for a few miles.
After 20 miles on the odometer, change the oil and oil filter, using "normal" petroleum oil (not synthetic). Let the bike cool down for at least 1/2 hour before riding again.
Ride the bike for another hour, followed by another complete cooldown. "
Is there anything this specific available for the Sprint? Any advise would be much appreciated since I am picking up the new bike tomorrow.
