not sure i understand 30/60/30.i was told with my fatbob to shift at about
2500 rpm for the first 300 miles, than, 3000 rpm for an another 300 miles.no hard takeoff. Just smmmmmmmoooth riding for the first 1000 miles...if their is a better way i want to know...thanks...
I've done this on every harley I've ever owned and all the hotrod motors I've built for myself as well as those I've built for others. Never had an issue, or a set of rings not properly seat.
The BS line the dealership (MoCo) will feed you is strictly an insurance thing. They want you to peter it around for 1000 miles so YOU have a chance to "get comfortable" on the bike. It has NOTHING to do with the engine breakin.
Heck, I do those 30-60-30 runs and then take new builds straight to the dyno shop for tuning.
I agree with the 30/60/30 break in. Oh and trust me after about 10 miles you will no longer miss the fatbob. You will wonder how you rode it as long s you did.
Congrats, I am glad I didn't have to wait that long, I only had about three hours after I decided on the one I wanted. I gave them a deposit over the phone at about noon, and they said be there at 3 to pick it up with something like 2 miles on the clock.... it was January 19th and 24* out. I live about 8 miles from the dealer. When I pulled it into the garage it had about 50 miles on it! I couldn't just go straight home I told the wife!
