    Too late, you have already wasted the window of opportunity.
    Read this anyway:

    Read it all.

    The easy break in thing is just lawyer speak to prevent people who don't know how to ride from going too fast on a bike they don't yet know. Even so, there are a lot of crashes in the first few miles, so I can't blame them.

    Hey,

    So just rebuilt the engine (down to the base gasket). Got new gaskets and rings, no valve job though. Now I know I need to break this thing in, but I don't know the standard protocol. I have put about 50 miles on it and have been very gentle with her. I haven't taken the RPMs over 4500 or 5000, easy acceleration, nothing fancy. Is this right? How long should I baby her? Is there something I'm missing?
Working...
