Most guys won't let a bike with less than 800 miles on their dyno... for their own protection.

There's no way a stock '06 R6 (mine @ 5,000 miles) is only 9hp less than a '06 750 with a slip-on. I put out a 108 with the wires hooked up to my bike and all that and the same year 750 only put out 117? That dyno was fucked up.

i came across this a week ago....food for thought
engine break in

bottom line-its your engine, do what you want.

It was humid as shit here too, I'm sure that didn't help.
And remember, every dyno is gonna be different.
It's realatively consistant though as mine was within tenths of a couple nights before.

I've seen that before, and kinda agree with it... but even if that is true, why would someone running a dyno want to risk it?

[DLIT]

Different, yeah, but not that different.

well if that's the case, and the dyno was reading low, then my 1125 should be putting down like 140-150!

Sweet, I'm making more at the rear wheel than the factory claims at the crank!

humidity and elevation make a dif

what are they risking? if they are responsible for any engine mishaps(i doubt it)-the mileage of the engine shouldnt matter

just curious-u said u kinda agree with it, so how did you break in your buell?

Most of my riding for the first 600 miles was kept under 7500, per the manual.
There were a few... quite a few... times during those miles that I would do a rapid acceleration and run it up to 9500ish and then shift...
Never hit the limiter before break in completed, and only hit redline once...

so basically, I rode it like I would have anyway, considering the break in was done while it was cold as fuck and lots of sand on the streets.

so even tho you kinda agree with it, u didnt really follow it-just in case?

nothin wrong with that, just curious

I agree that constantly running a new engine at extreme high rpms could potentially be damaging.

I also feel that by NOT making SOME use of the full RPM range could cause things to not break in at their optimal level.

All the guys I know that build engines run 'em hard right from the get go, and don't have issues.

Most of the problems we see on the automotive side with engine problems, such as lack of power and oil consumption are on vehicles that are used... lightly, for lack of a better term.

So... I ran it like I plan on riding it.
It's a twin, not like I'm bouncing off the limiter all the time anyway. It makes torque, I use it.
Normal commuting I rarely get above 7K except when accelerating from a stop in first.

Seems to be working for me so far.

Also, the Regional service manager was at the dealership when I picked up the bike.
When asked about break in this is what he said.
"On the books, keep it under 6K till 300 miles, and under 7500 until 620 miles"
When asked how HE would break in the bike...
"I'd ride it like I plan on riding it. Don't be holding it in the upper RPM's, but it's not gonna hurt it to be there. This bike was made to take it."
