Hello,
yesterday I had the pleasure of purchasing my first "new" bike, 06 Sprint ST, sun-set red.
Won't be delivered for a couple of weeks.
She's still in the box, and parts are on order which will cause a slighty longer delay. Doesn't matter though since I don't plan on riding or even starting her up untill the spring.
Figure what's the point of running the engine for a few minutes and then having to change the oil out for winter storage.
I'm guessing it would be better to have it put together in the spring and just start riding it, but then I couldn't go out and look at her all winter.
I would interested in any thoughts or comments anyone has about storage of a new bike or the break in period of a new engine. Having read several post already on the topic
it seems there are many different ideas and ways to go about it.
Also, I haven't read whether or not it is harmful to have a passanger on board once in a while when breaking in the engine. Does anyone here have any information about it?
Thanks
