Mine was broken in on the dyno. I really didn't have any other choice because the bike ran poorly with the "start up" map. No regrets. It is also a little reassuring that the engine didn't have any problems during the dyno. The tuner ran the engine to RPMs that I probably never will see.

Dangerous game, I don't care what anybody says. Your tuner took a risk with your bike "taking it to r's you'll never see" before the rings are fully seated. You got lucky, you got away with it, but it was a risk non the less. It hurts nothing to wait, yet some insist on doing it.

I agree completely. I don't get the rush. The break in debate has been going on for years and will continue to. I guess I don't see the harm in putting 1000 miles on a bike before tuning. In the 12 years our shops been dyno'ing, (average of 12 a week) we've had 1 bike come upart on us, we won't dyno a build with less than 500 miles on it if we built it, prefer 1000. And if we didn't build it they must sign a waiver so we're not respncible for something we didn't build. so far it's worked ou really good for us, so I can say we won't be changing our ways.

Opinions ..... Aholes.... As the cliche goes.
May as well break it on on the Dyno where the operator can monitor afr & temps during the process.
You can do far more damage riding an untuned motor for "x" miles than would occur in the hands of a competent tuner on a Dyno.
If you don't get the rings properly seated right from the start, you may never get the seal you could have....
But, WTF do I know...????.....
