Louk Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi, Im about to get a new yam r6 2010. The guy in the dealership is saying 500 miles no more than 6000 revs then oil change to break it in. A friend at work reckons hammer it else it wont brake in properly. I found this website, http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm I am confused between manufactuers instructions and experianced mechanics. My brain says follow motomans advice, I would like to see what you guys think and if any one has had any experainces that might help me out. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
