Thumbs up New to KAWASAKI WORLD

Always rode Yamaha and Honda, made a mistake of buying a XL1200N Harley last month!!! sold it back to the dealer after 3 weeks...got into a ZX14, really cool bike, fast, reliable and confortable comparing to the Harley.

What is the procedure for breaking in the machine?
I've got 130 miles on it, went up to 7000 RPM three times to test it on a expressway. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hey Luiz, welcome to the forums, its too bad you didn't read the Mototune method of breaking in a motor. But it has to be done on a brand new bike. www.mototuneusa.com

Thanks everyone,
I really feel I have a REAL BIKE now.
About the breaking in, I think I got the picture.
Best to all and keep the blue side up.
