I just got a call from the trucking company earlier this evening that my new K-9 will be delivered to my house tomorrow around 7pm. I am so excited. I've been waiting for what feels like forever now and the level of excitement has literally been nonstop. The bike is a 2010 with 23 miles on it. I have a question about the engine break-in period. Could someone please tell me what the speeds and rpms limits are that should not be exceeded during this period and also the number of miles that you have to do this for. I know that on previous new bikes like my old ninja that for the 1st 500 miles your are told what the max speed/rpm limits allowed are and then from 500 to 800 miles there is another speed/rpm limitation that you have to maintain. After 800 miles you can drive the bike normally. I'm sure the information specific to this bike is in my owner's manual but unfortunately the manual accidently did not get shipped out yet, but will be here next week. Natrually I'm going to be very careful riding the bike tomorrow when she arrives but I do not want to accidently do anything wrong speed/rpm wise that might cause engine damage. Thank you so much.
