Open the glovebox. There should be an owner's manual there. Read it. Pay particular attention to the maintenance schedule. Have fun with your new beauty.

Engine injury is maximum possibly to ensue in this era. shop warmth down by utilising no longer exceeding 2500 rpm. evade lugging the motor, driving in warm climate or in site visitors. selection the engine speed. do no longer lug the engine. we sell changing the oil at 50 miles. the subsequent 500 miles would desire to be spent working engine no quicker than 3500 rpm or 60 mph. evade non-stop stable speeds, and don't lug the engine. selection engine rpm. we sell changing the oil back at 500 miles. warning - Lugging or working engine upfront at sustained extreme rpm would effect in injury to pistons and different engine aspects. S&S voids it relatively is assure if engine isn't broken in actual. For the stability of the 1st 1000 miles the motor would be run in a typical yet conservative way. you would be greater liberal with the rpm selection and motorcycle would be operated at widespread street speeds. evade overheating or putting any no longer worry-free rigidity on the engine: no drag racing, dyno runs, extreme speed, trailer towing or sidecar operation.

the tomkat method
when starting car - allow 30 seconds for oil to completely cover
--before putting stress on engine
do not punch it out to 60 all the time
drive like little old person -
every once in a while - push it out to speed
do not set cruise control for long periods - but vary the speed +5
-5 back and forth
after the first 500 miles - she's yours - be good

You should drive it for at least 4-8k miles before really stomping the gas.
