[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1301334, member: 3828"] "Break in" is a controversial topic. There are some owners who think they are smarter than the engineers who designed the engine, and will tell you that no break-in is needed. Even more flamboyantly, some claim the best way to "break-in" an engine is to flog the crap out of it while brand new, vis-a-vis the "motoman break in" technique. They will claim that this is the best way to seat the rings in the freshly honed cylinder bores, etc. If you google "motoman break in" you can read all about it yourself. And since it's published on the internet, [B][I]it must be true![/I][/B] Being a sizeable financial investment in a machine that I intend to keep for the majority of its life, I chose to follow the conservative break-in guidance provided in the owners manual on my 2014. Others will choose to do whatever they feel [I]makes the most sense[/I] with their own investments. [/QUOTE]
