Running in advice

<< < (3/3)

Ken4004:
Lots of great advice from everyone so Thank-you for that , lots of different opinions which is probably what I expected if being honest.

At the end of the day a cautious approach is always best policy.

Laverda Dave:
Back in the 90’s when the Fireblade was the bike to have it was well known they offered more performance if run in hard as opposed to gently. I'm not sure about the longevity of the motor though over time. A mate bought a second hand blade and within a couple of years it smoked badly.
I've always been careful with running in not to labour the engine but not to thrash it either, basically a normal style of sedate riding, if you overthink what revs you are doing you'll loose concentration of where you are going, rev it with your ears and not your eyes 🙂.

Ken4004:
Thanks Dave , had a good ride today nice and gentle, impressed how well the bike handles through the corners very well behaved.
