I put a grand on mine before I switched out the standard pipes for the new setup and had it dyno'ed. Dealer also thought at least 700...but preferred 1000 on it.

 

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.

 

And it ain't just a risk "coming apart", but also scoring the cylinders or welding the rings. I agree that it's a debate almost equal to the oil threads. The part I don't get is the urge to rush when there is no harm can be done from waiting. So easy to take the safer route. If one is worried about running lean, he can get a touchup tune with an exhaust sniffer at lower rpm.

 

75,000. guess I just wanted to break her in first.

 

I thought there were safe ways to break a bike in on a dyno.

 

It's conveneint as hell. Many claims out there that it's a great way to do it. I don't trust that method, but that's just me.

 

tts map,then maybe v-tune,then maybe dyno,thats my plan

 

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...????.....
