AGRO!
Hey guys.
I'm sure this has been chatted about somewhere, but what are your thoughts on breaking in a brand new engine. I just bought a new 2015 SD 1290 R. It's got 5km's on it from the dealer prep/factory. It has sat around their dealership for over a year.
Now this isn't my first brand new bike. And I've gotten mixed reviews. A few mechanics that I've talked to say the best way to break in, is to really run the engine through ALL rev ranges and never keep the engine at a constant RPM. My last new bike was a GSXR 1000. I rode it like I stole it right from the beginning and it was by far the best engine and bike I have ever owned!
Any thoughts??
