RUNNING-IN
Help assure your motorcycle's future
reliability and performance by paying extra
attention to how you ride during the first
500 km (300 miles)
During this period, avoid full-throttle starts
and rapid acceleration.
Honda is silent after that short run-in period except for the maintenance schedule. Like the OP, while reading the owner's manual, we might reasonably wonder if this is enough break-in before going to a no wear synthetic. I think not but since there is no offical recommendation I myself might be looking for opinions from experienced members. In this regard, there probably is no "wrong" answer, just some are more right for each individual than others. This being a forum for such concerns.
