Sniper_308 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Break in is simple....just ride it like you stole it. Doing break in's by the book is nonsense to me but hey, it's your bike. I broke in my '01 gixxer more or less by the book and it took almost 1500 miles before it started spankin' R1's. My '07...not a damn chance. Do a google search for 'mototune usa' and you can read about breaking engines in....better yet here: How to break in your engineThanks, that's a great link!

Sniper_308 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well if you make it to cbus for a tune, throw your bike on a trailer and your GAP in the truck and we can go and do some shooting while your here. Sounds good to me Flounder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I heard that they tamed down the '08's so they're less temperamental compared to the '06's. We shouldn't be seeing any more shin splitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper_308 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 So you are flirting with the new guy due to his sweet custom rifle? I hope he doesn't feel used.LOL, I'm a cheap date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper_308 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 That's assuming I don't die of anticipation waiting for stuff to arrive. I was really really hoping to get it sighted in this weekend, but I may not have a scope by then.What kind of rifle did you get, please tell!?!

Sniper_308 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ditch the K&N filter and either keep a stock one or get BMCs.Ok, I thought K&N were good filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ok, I thought K&N were good filters. KN are good filters...... but they make less HP than the oem's. Somthing to do with creating too much turbulence in the airbox due to flow characteristics. BMC Race filters are the only ones to truely show a gain but you sacrifice filtering ability, and you'll never notice the .5hp gain. Keep your oem.

walther_gsp Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 What kind of rifle did you get, please tell!?!Well the rifle I *TRIED* to buy is a Rem700 5r. Called the seller today to confirm he got my money order and I find out that he's not going to sell it to me because he promised it to a friend 2 years ago and forgot. So, I now get to wait on him to get to the post office so he can pickup the MO and overnight it back to me and find another rifle.Needless to say I'm not a happy camper. I found another posted for sale for basically the same price, but now I gotta wait on getting my money back (don't like the idea of sending payment again and risk getting screwed again.)

xtremef4i Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 DTM Brian is a good guy. Great rates for OR members. He knows his stuff and takes his time tuning your bike, not just throwing a pre set tune for your particular bike. We did some tuning and grabbed some Don Gino's pizza. mmm that was good $5 large pizza. I was pleased with my bike after the tune. Deff a lot smoother and more broad powerband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
