Break in period

[Sixxxxer]

I'm with AMJ...I hit Redline within the first 50 Miles of owning the ZX6...I cant find the website right now but there was a guy who wrote up a story on how driving cars/bikes harder than the "break in " period allows for actually makes the engines withstand more as far as abuse goes...and I've heard that some newer cars will make more power based on the ECU and it knowing how often you go WOT and whatnot.

Personally...I think break in periods are stupid...But thats just my opinion.

the difference in power on any bike is going to be negligible based solely on break in.
