I've got about 100 miles on my new Triumph Speed Four, and
found out about Motoman's controversial break-in which is described here:

http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

1. He certainly makes an interesting case, and it wouldn't surprise me if manufacturer break-ins are really just a matter of history. Can anyone vouch for this method, and what should I do if I've already run it slow for the first 100 miles?

2. What does he mean exactly when he says "Warm up engine first!" It sounds like he doesn't necessarily mean letting it idle.

3. I've never owned a sportbike. What would be considered lugging the engine in a bike with a redline at 14k?

Thanks.
