Im just about to get my 600 mile service. So i was wondering after your service how did it affect what range you rode in? what range do you guys ride in?
These bikes are pretty durable,: but I asked several veterans who have said up to the break in period just don't keep it above 8k for any length of time. After 600 to 1k just ride it regularly then above 1k you can scream if you want too. I have started to get more accustomed to 6-8k in 6th. But for the most part i have been in the 5-6k range. I did unlease her yesterday on a pass of some Harley riders and i must say she has a mean bitch streak in her at 8k. That was really cool to open it up and have some fun. :thumbup:
Got 22 miles on mine nowI had her up to bout 6-7k for a second yesterday, but have mostly been staying in the 4-5k range cruising around town just practicing turns, curves, turn signals, stoppies...jk, going up/down gears, and stopping/starting at stop signs.
I'm still newbin' it, but I'm in my comfort zone.
sounds like me, ive got less than 25 miles on this bike and total riding experience. went down a straight county road yesterday to try a little more speed. im feeling comfortable except for turning at intersections from a dead stop, it doesnt want to turn...![]()
got the first service done today now i can go upto 7k rpm until 1000miles. had been riding at 5800rpm max or 64ml/hr for the first 600 miles. feels great to be able to go above that limit. been 2 weeks since i bought the bike and i love riding it on the freeways. it sucks to ride in the city with all the red lights and speed cameras.

there are subtle 90 degree turns throughtout the Basic RiderCourse, turning from a stop is just not a main objective anymore. Advice above is good, but don't forget to turn your head and look where you want to go and above all don't look down. Sometimes hard to do this, but once you get it, it is magical.
