NinjaNick Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just HATE all recalls! Motor vehicles should be inspected and re-inspected thoroughly. I find them uncalled for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Mine passed inspection at HNW before leaving inventory.IMO ... they are going WAY conservative on the recall ... which is not a bad thing unless you are the one waiting on a new bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 JonS, what did you have before the K8 Busa? I see you've been on here since '06. I'm trying to remember your old avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Break her in like you stole her... NO JOKE... Bikes are faster when broken in like that too.I've done that to all my bikes and constantly change the oil towards the first 2000 until I put synthetic in them and they run STRONG forever. I sold my last bike at near 20,000 miles from brand new when I bought it and I didn't have one problem with that bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The main key to break in is to stay away from keeping the same RPM on the bike for any length of time.The somewhat proven technique is to before you ride it let it idle up to around 200 degrees. Shut down and let cool for 15 minutes at least.Then start it up run it for 5 minutes varying load (accel and decel) on the motor.Shut down and let cool again for 15 minutes. Then ride it as you would and try to as much as possible vary the load from accel to decel constantly.The more you accelerate and decel (engine braking) the better the seals will seat.
