So, what's the take on the break-in rpm limits that Triumph sets? I've never seen a bike with such a detailed set of rpm limits. The 3500 max rpm limit up to 100 miles is drivin' me nuts... only 68 miles to go.

Break it in by the factory guidelines. You'll be happier in the long run.

The first hundred miles is the hardest, no doubt about that.

But it's also the most crucial. After that, it gets a lot easier to follow the guidelines.

Hey guys, just about to pick up my 05 Triple and I have been looking very hard at breaking it in as per Motoman guidelines. Do any of you have any concrete opinions either way?
