break in / running in new bike

[Louk]

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

Well luke" lets meet half way, A cold engine " is when most wear is done,,, ie, [tight] even diesels . Be gentle till she warms up , then wind her up.
