Bob,
It is my nature to ride bikes hard. At 200 miles I started lite high end burst. At 450 I did a track day on the back roads. I haven't stop yet. I like to keep the bike arround 5-7k in the corners and do down shift into the corners, you know normal riding.
I agree with you that hard breakins = less oil consumption and better preformance. Bob thanks for the tip on the sensor for the final drive. I'm leaning toward a 3.00 gear.
Olaf,
I may pull the sensor and see if it changes how the bike runs. I assume that their should not be a change in the bike if it is bad.
Flatbutt,
I don't have the surging so I hope the bike follows your bike. Great name but is it painful? :>)
thanks all
Jeff
