I think at the end of the day the most important thing is not to labour to then engine too much,as in riding in 6th everywhere,as long as you use the rev range but not screaming it it will be fine
Jay when you pick your brand new bike up, take it to the nearest motorway and see how quick it gets to 185mph, then slow down and repeat and if you see blue flashing lights just ignore them as they are only trying to slow you down.....
Got sent my new Reg today via email, not as good as the outgoing one but hey tiz a new'un! Might be here by the weekend!
When I left school I was an apprentice mechanic, they had 2 regular customers (old grannies) they both Owen their cars for years and did about 3 miles a week to the local shop and back at prob 20mph for years from new. The cars were definitely affected by this and didn't go much more than 40mph flat out! I think engines should be run in relatively hard within reason.
exactly. Why would a manufacture tell you to run and bike or car in a way that is wrong. I'm running my GT86 as per the guidelines and it's killing me. 1000miles at no more than 4k. it red lines at 7.5k. no hard breaking or accelerating. And talking to people who have run in their cars different have given mixed results but mainly lower MPG and power.
Did I read somewhere that the S1000R limits your settings until the approved mileage, then releases them accordingly. Or am I in the wrong argument?
Your correct kpone but BMW only do this so that new owners can actually ride the thing before it falls apart and spends the rest of its life in a garage
Bit unfair that coment Matt, they don't fall apart at all its erosion, or BMW may claim clever weight saving self lightning technology
