It's sitting in the garage with a full tank and "0" miles. It is sooooooo comfy too. I'm jonesing to feel some insane power too! My neighborhood streets still have ice and snow all over it though, so that prevents me from leaving on it.I am the only 14 on the board I think.

NinjaNick Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Holy shit it is cold! I went 2miles from my home because I just HAD to. I shoveled the ice away from the end of the driveway so I could squeeze though it. Because of the salt/sand on the road and it being in the 20's I would've been stupid to hammer it hard. But I will say the torque is INSANE and I haven't even tapped into it. Torque is down low too! I got to 6k rpm MOST at half throttle and it was already faster than the 636. I just laughed my ass off in my helmet. It's going to be an interesting experience this summer for sure. Oh....IT IS AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE! I felt like I was sitting straight up compare to the 636! I will have endurance this year! That is my little 2 mile ride report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playerpro153 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 So I'm assuming you'll be ready to take some good trips on it when it's warm. I had my bike out the other day and I'm itching to see how the new brakes feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 shame shame. obey break in laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Break it in slow, bike is slow. Break it in hard, bike produces much more power. Cycling rpms from high to low constantly is best break in. Everything seats the best. There is a link on here too that was posted on it. I never break anything in, but my alcohol tolerance.

McLovin Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 When I ordered my LeoVince exhaust I called the LeoVince Techs to ask them a few questions...and the guy ended up telling me the correct may to break in the bike was more like what NinjaNick is saying. The LeoVince guy actually said the dealership will say take it easy until the first oil change at like 500mi (which they did), but he continued to say there is more that needs to go into breaking in a bike for the best performance. Maybe it's just an after market thing....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
