When I got my 21 three pedal the break in was so hard to follow. That five speed and the sound was so much fun. But I have a few thousand miles now with zero issues.

Break-in is a compromise of breaking in the engine, transmission, axles, CVT (where applicable) etc. and except for piston rings\cylinder bore, heat cycling in a GRADUAL manner is critical that can be more aggressive as subsequent heat cycles are implemented. I put 11K miles routinely on my SxS and the first few heat cycles are very important. I prefer to break in during cooler days (especially winter) if possible to avoid extreme heat spikes. Breaking in on snow is a plus as your tires slip and is more forgiving on the drivetrain during break in. Those guys who say their Papaws break in their circle track racing engines hard is irrelevant. We're not talking about old school 3/4" lift cams with crazy spring pressures and roller lifters that get eaten up from lack of lubrication and tuning dual carbs here. Nice video Stephen.

Good break in is very important, including the belt if you have a CVT equipped machine. I bought a brand new '23 Outlander 1000 last December and got a little overzealous on the happy lever trying out sport mode. My belt sheared, not shredded, sheared. My dealer felt the belt was defective and argued with BRP for three days and finally convinced them to warranty half of the cost. I really know better and truthfully it was probably my fault which I openly admitted to my dealer. I succumbed to the temptation and it cost me $400 🤣🤣. But after getting it back (the belt breaking also broke both halves of the clutch enclosure) I followed the belt break in recommendation 100% even going so far as to go easy on it for a full 60 miles instead of the 30 miles BRP recommends and it has been flawless. I'm still a little scared to try sport mode though 🤣🤣

I think Honda was breaking in the GoldWing at the California factory. It's probably greener to do the break-in oil change at the factory too.

I doubt it. They either need thousands of bikes ridden at the factory, or have thousands of engine dynos. Neither is feasible

I don’t care what some manufacturers say nowadays, always observe a break in period whether it’s powersport or road car. Silly that some manufacturers say you don’t need to anymore, even more silly is that some mechanics also reiterate that stupidity

What’s also silly is a regular Joe thinking they are smarter than engineers of a multi billion dollar company🤷🏻‍♂️

Going through break in on my new Suzuki 1k cc bike. It’s under 5,500rpm max for 600 miles than change the oil. Tough to keep it under 5,500 because it pulls like a freight train 😂
