Sit on bike as if sitting on your computer chair.
With the right grip, right click over 'Explainer vid studio' when you see the hand over that hot link.
The right end of the dash screen will have a gray line over H Tea Tea Pee, forward slash, forward slash, jobs dot vidzzy dot com and you now start the bike up for break-in.
At the mode button, type 'vidzzy dot com' on what are you doing here?
Dis way used be spamboy, joe valgalvanized.
And data is how you break-a your chops is one post at a time.

Joseph--congrats on the new bike! Many will disagree, but your owner's manual tells you exactly what to do. I figure KHI thought of the engine, designed it, built it and warrantees it--so they must know SOMETHING! They want you to have a good experience on the bike, so they give you a modest break-in period. It goes by quickly and then you're free to rev it up.
Good luck!

LOL HUb.

Okay Joseph.You want to start out gently in 1st.After Hub's instruction that is.Then you want to open wide open.Shift quickly to keep up with the r's.Hold throttle on the limiter for at least 10 seconds.That way,when you pull up next to someone,you know she'll rev bomb awesomely.Make sure within the first 600 miles,you hit the limiter at least 4 times during any given ride.And that means,in every gear as well.You want to really set those rings and get the crosshatching smoothed out ASAP.That's the best way I know of.

AIN'T MY BIKE!

As of this date being my 4th 14, I had the opportunity to experiment with break-in theory 4 times. Both early gen bikes of the 4 had a hard break-in. The later models were book broken-in. Each time the clock came around to 3k miles I'd changed the oil. The hard break-in bikes needed oil to be topped off before the 3k intervals; whereas the book break-in bikes never lost their level in the sight window.

As far as power concerns, the latest [book]-bike feels stronger than all the others. As per book, for the first 600 miles, the engine never reached 4,000 rpm during the first round, nor did the engine ever rev past 6,000 rpm until 1,000 miles was reached during the second part of the book's break-in period.

The last 2 bikes were book-broke, showed no oil loss at the window; said go fuck yourself and your WOT job routine before 20 miles is shown on the clock... the junk science says so.

If I recall, both book-bikes clocked out on the OEM oil it came with. At this 600 mile change, I mixed [and have been mixing] 2qts of 50w racing with the remaining quarts of 10w40,10w30 leftover oils from the car's oil changes, and whatever syn is hanging around.

The levels in the window never showed signs of incontinence with this recipee of liquid refinements of said light sweet crude(s).

Signed,
NOLTT (new old leftover tipping trick)
