Kinda confused. I'm not a mechanic but built some engines with buddies long ago. (don't ask.)There is a significant chance that the dealer I buy my DLX from will be over 100 miles away. A question I have is how I break it in on the ride home. So far, this thread has been, ah, unhelpful.
The link to the mystery expert seems to say you need to ride it like you stole it immediately. Elsewhere here the advice is to sorta baby it - but not really. LOL!
So, I am guessing that the best plan might be to warm the bike up, get it on the road and run it kinda hard for a few miles, then just ride it normally although varying engine speed here and there.
A plan??
