I think most people don't intend to keep the bike long so don't care. I have a KTM 1290 sa and i did run it in with mechanical sympathy. Even if i do get rid after 3 years i would hope that someone else can continue to enjoy it.
I was talking to a Ducati master tech when I bought my hypermotard and he said 3 rules for break in: Let the bike fully warm up before hammering it, no full throttle at low RPM, and try to vary the speed (ie no 100 mile highway blasts with cruise control). So far that method has been working fine for me
Sadly I've never bad this problem as I can't afford a new bike 😂 but kids are nearly grown up so hopefully soon I will 😄
Don't lug it don't rev limiter it, that's all they require really.
Perfect timing Chops as I picked up my new 690 Enduro r last Friday and I’m only 75 miles in to the running in period! On all the new bikes I’ve ever owned it’s always been as per the manufacturers recommendation, but with plenty of variation of load and speed on and off the throttle. Never had any issues with poor performance or oil consumption.
The manufacturer knows best about their machines. I'd recommend following their advice personally.
I bought my Suzuki GSXS1000 from former SBK rider Karl Muggeridge at his dealership in Australia. He said just ride it up through the revs smoothly and that’s all that’s required. No need to limit revs except not going to redline. Many say it’s the first 20km that is the most important for the engine. Also, many people trade their bikes with low kms rather than keep them for 30-40,000 km (some do) so it’s highly unlikely that you’ll experience problems with the engine before you trade up. Agree that bedding in the brakes, tyres etc. is wise.
Now listen here young Chops. Back when I were a lad in 1974 I was told the most important thing to remember when running in my new Norton Commando was to vary the revs and the load on the motor, while not exceeding the recommended rpm. Apart from the header flange continually unscrewing itself due to vibration and the many oil leaks I could never stop, that bike was reliable and a real joy, even with points ignition. I now have 2500 klms on my new BMW R1250R and I ran that in the same way. Thankfully it doesn’t have the oil leaks or the points ignition. Great idea for the SMC series 007.
Always run mine in as if I’m driving in wet conditions,nice and smooth .
Chops, well done with this video. My rule of thumb with running in a new bike is, don't over rev it in any of the gears and don't lug
I’ve just got a new multistrada enduro and like you watched the videos. I agree entirely that you are running in all aspects of the bike, not just the engine. The thing that convinced me was the comment on one site, “if something goes wrong, you’ll be better if it happens at a lower speed and lower revs, also it allows you to get used to the new bike”.
100% agree with you. Personally not bought a brand new bike yet but when I do I’ll be doing what the manufacturer recommends to bed the ‘whole bike in’ and preserve my warranty, because as we all know on that first service when they plug in the bike they can see exactly what you have done with it
Really informative. Thanks for all the info. Great video. That rear facing camera in front of you is an awesome view.
KTM 530 soft run in - but changed the oil early. It’s done 7000ks trouble free - only had to adjusted the valves once.
Agree with you with run in procedure chops. Looking forward to the suspension video, still need to do mine on my 701 !
A couple of bike mechanics always told me rev freely but don't red line or labour the engine and the break in limits were manufacturers arse covering for if ANY post production failure did occur it would happen within the first few hundred miles, so you would be travelling slower and you would have a better chance of stopping safely.
Agree with you on your recommendations for engine run-in.
I'm with you on the "Gentle Approach".Its worked for me on my many bikes over the years.Common sense I say.
The official running in guidelines from Honda for my NeoSports CB1000R are as follows- during the first 500km (300 miles) of running, avoid full throttle, starts and rapid acceleration, avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts, ride conservatively. Not exactly comprehensive. I have kept my revs to around 4-5k range, change gears a lot, short shift, try to change direction, brake and gears in a progressive way for the 1st 600 miles. Once my bike has had its 600 mile service then I plan to increase revs to 7-8k (I will be going well above the legal limit before then) to 1,000 miles and then just enjoy - this is what I did with my previous Ninja 650 albeit for that bike the rev range I used was slightly lower due to its smaller displacement.
I broke it in like I stole it. I have over 13K km on it and won't be getting rid of it for a couple of years, but there have been no issues. There's a shift light on it that was set to 5500 RPM and when I got out of the dealers, I stopped at a parking lot, changed it immediately to 10,500 then promptly hauled ass out of the parking lot.
