Added oil.

[the Ferret]

Now, now... let's be fair and at least accurately quote what I really said if you are going to call me out by name:

You said:

" I did not say to redline it or to bounce off the limiter by any means...

and

..... Not beat on or mistreated as Ferret may have suggested"

Let's read what I said verbatim...

I said:

"Now some guys like to run it up and bang it off the rev limiter just for the thrill of it, and I understand that, but personally wouldn't recommend it while it is still in the break in stage and neither does the manufacturer"....

(and apparently you don't recommend it either...right?) . No where in there did I say you (uscgmac) suggested running to red line or bang it off the limiter ...I said some guys..and reading threads on here, some guys absolutely do have no problem bouncing their bikes off the limiter.

I further went on to say:

"Once broken in however, if one feels the need to rip it, then go for it, but some of us just don't see the need to treat our bikes like that, even if it can take it. "

I also never said" beat on or mistreated"...those are your words, not mine.

I said "some of us just don't see the need to treat our bikes like that"

It just means some of us see no need to run our bikes beyond 5000 rpms, just for the fun of it...ie: no need to "rip it" (which incidentally I also said was ok " after the bike was broken in .)

English, tough language eh?
