I finally hit 1,000 on mine and was reading the manual as to when they suggest the second oil change (I did the first at 500 miles). And they suggest 7,500 is when the second oil change is due. What a stretch between the first breakin change and second.
I doubt I'll way anywhere near that long.
Anyway, now that you are at 600 miles, are you openning it up a bit more? I am fully broken in, and can finally get a taste of what this bike really has!
(I am a by the book breakin kinda owner, but to each his own, if you are not)

My first one...yes...I did do it like I was gonna ride it.This one...a bit...but I'm really going easier with it.I've done some power roll-ons..a few.I'm real close to the thousand.Hundred and something to go.I really feel a difference between the two.Maybe they did something with the ECU for this 2013 model...IDK...but it truly feels smoother and stronger.At 6k...it really begins to wants to roll.She's a great bike...and the ABS is a huge plus...I've tried to get a skid out of her...she aint havin it;)VERY happy about that!
