    Engine "Break-in" questions

    Didn't expect to get this much response. The good news is my break-in is achieved as of today. I used various octane grades, and I used fuel with and without ethanol. My average MPG is around 45.4 as of today according to the display.

    In short the manual is probably all I need to read but it's 200 miles away so reading while riding are probably not real safe. Lol
