when break-in period ends?

[rboe]

I define the end of the break in period is when the mileage settles down (everything else being equal; as in the activity of your right wrist). So you have your initial break in, which I'll assume what Honda is talking about, and the final wear in when mileage peaks; everything is running together as well as it's ever going to do and all is right with the world.

For a modern liquid cooled engine that appears to be just south of 15,000 miles. For our beast I suspect it's closer to 5K.
