I still got the stock tires on mine.. about 120 miles on it.. so brand new, already went on freeway twice.. max 70mph coz the wind was not my friend and the bike is very light...
you should try to play with your cameras refresh rate / shutter rate (recording Hz) if possible, so the lcd doesnt flicker and ppl can see your speed more easily. not all cameras have this option though
Absolutely it can (within reason. Gotta remember it's still just a 300). It does really well up to 80 mph but I dont recommend running 80 all the time. at 70 mph you're perfectly fine. My bike lives at 70 mph lol. Short bursts of 80 or even 85 are ok. Ive had my nk in triple digit speeds, but I DO NOT recommend it. Just do not run over 70 for any extended period. My 300nk is perfectly happy at 70mph for hours.
Yeah that would be a good idea to wait. I run a wider, slightly taller tire (the taller tire changes the final drive ratio and lowers the RPM) and as you can see in the video, at or around 70 mph, its running between 6500 and 7000 rpm. After break-in, these bikes are happy at 7k rpm. I wouldn't recommend going over that for long periods. Short bursts are fine. And be sure to check your oil after every highway ride.
I also recommend changing the oil at or around 300 miles. Second oil change at 1000 miles and then every 1500 to 2000 after. Depending on ridding style and how hard you run it.
You are gonna love the bike! I have 40k miles on my 2022 300nk. I recommend to everyone with a 300nk or SS, after the stock tires need replaced, replace them with a 120/70-17 front and a 160/60-17 rear. The handling is WAYYYY better and you bring your engine rpm down a little. At 70mph, the rpm will be between 6500 and 7000 after the taller rear tire. These engines are perfectly happy at this rpm. Just don't run over that for long periods of time though. Short bursts are fine. And check your oil after every highway ride.

How many miles for the break in period,i know ktms is 600 miles an then shortly after that they recommend bringing yhe bike in for service
After my breakin period is complete, im going to hit the highway
