Hi everyone,
After leaving my "old" '14 CB110 at a dealer and bringing the new 2017, I just wanted to give some feedback on the engine break in:
1. Normal break-in, not going above 3500RPM for the first 500km and avoiding free ways and traffic. You can read it in other posts and a lot of info online on how to proper break-in an engine
2. At 80km a slight scare when I noticed what seemed to be a very small oil driping in the engine. Turn out to be nothing (although I'm still very vigilant) and, suposely, due to the products applied to the engine that melted with the heat
3. First 100-200Km the engine was always crazy hot not dissipading as I was used to in the '14 CB. 2h outside, stopped, at around 15º and still some heat in the engine. Also normal, don't freak out, after 100-200Km started dissipading normally
4. Noticed that the fuel consumption has been around 4.9L / 100Km (around 48 MPG) which is the lower consumption I've managed to do with the '14 (and I admit that I tend to speed...) - with the engine so new and barely out of break-in I expect it to consume even lower than this
Let me know if you have any questions
