you know to tell you the truth, im a mechanic, and i would not recommend following the breakin, it actually hurts the engine more to keep it down like that, just fyi

ride the bike hard when it is new, it allows the piston rings to seat corectly into the cylenders, there is going to be some white/blue smoke out the exhaust at first, (that is just oil passing the new unseated rings) and then it will clear up and that is when you know that the rings are sealing corectly.

utamatly up to you what you do but just my .02

I went back to the dealer and made them switch the mirrors. They all though it was pretty funny.

Great choice on the exhaust. It's the same one I plan to buy if I ever get the bike.

Nice catch sup! Should of punched the mechanics in the head Vee ha-ha. Seriously, wouldn't trust that guy to do a simple oil change! Oh well atleast he didn't put a piston in backwards like.....somebody did once.
