[QUOTE="Sagebrush, post: 552261, member: 15544"] Hey bud..... Don't fret over the break in methods.... Change the rear drive oil and change the engine oil and filter when you get home since your so close to the dealer. These are touring bikes, made for long days! The engine won't self destruct if you don't follow some fellow on the internet. Its a good idea to change the lubes on any new machine. I do the same thing with new trucks and cars too. When I get a new bike I will have a 1,000 miles on mine before the weekend is out. I love getting to know my new mount. :) I bought my last new bike over 600 miles from home, put 200 miles on it the first day. Changed the oils, checked fastners, installed a throttle lock and a throttle rocker and then rode home from Alabama to the coast of SC.. The bike actually had 1200 miles on it in three days total, two engine oil changes and two rear drive oil changes. I didn't see much metal in the second rear drive oil change. Take a plug kit, an air compressor, some water and a cliff bar, helmet is a good idea too.. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
