Planning on riding anyone of these three days from lorain county area to head south/ southeast. Anyone interested? It can be a three hour blast if your from northern area if we start late day. If we start 3 ish or earlier it can be a 250-300+ day. I would like to scout a few roads while on this ride as well.

already ordered from ridersdiscount and had them shipped to Pa where my other wheels and tire changing gear is.

Maybe I'll order a more touring oriented rear and have it shipped here.

I would love to ride too , stupid new bike still needs breaking in :(

Breaking a bike in properly would be revving l through different rpm ranges such as riding twisties. Midrange revs and constant rpm changes. If your putting her you'll never break the rings in. Which is the only part your really breaking in.

I thought it was pretty much standard practice for the first 600 miles to keep it under 6k rpms?

I've never bought a brand new bike and probably never will since its a waste of money IMO, but I've heard of several people doing this so I just assumed it was standard

Not sure if its the same with 4 strokes, but my on my 2 strokes I heat it to operating temp and cool twice varying throttle. Then a couple 5-10 min rides with high load but not excessive rpm.

I do think break in is a bit of bs, racers change out top ends and go out for the next heat.
