hi there... i also jus happen to get a new bike...so i guess im in the same situation as u..

 

i did my run in on the rd.. n its somewhere between hard n soft..

 

my 1st 300km was spent rollin on and off the throttle n up n down thru the gears.... minimal cruising

 

rev was below 7.5 to 8k with throttle varyin from nothing to abt 80% of it

 

according to manual, its very important to load the rings so as to seat properly n to prevent glazing...

 

i guess since it says tat, im guessing going by the manual is not soft at all.. motortune also dun recommend redlining the motor... but to load the rings with varyin load... n tats very similar to the manual..

 

run in procedure takes ard 1600km to 2000 km as seen in various sites n manuals

 

so im guess u cant go terribly wrong with tat..

 

in motortune n the manual alike, the highlight is to load the rings repeatedly during acceleration n deceleration, not to cruise with minimal load, n to run thru the revs n gears alike.... oh ya n to change the oil n filter asap... i did mine after 300km in one day...

 

as for the rest of the remaining mileage, jus ride like normal n u'll be fine..

 

jus sharing wat i jus did.. hope this helps..

 

pls no flaming hor

 

enjoy ur new baby...

Hey, thanks bro. I'll make sure to read the manual Thoroughly and do some research of the choice of Run-ins that i believe is the right one for my r6. Thankz again.

 

Btw, covered 300km in one day? How the hell did u do that??..hohoh.

no prob bro.. enjoy ur nride... 300 km a day.. hmm maybe to machap plus a little local bendys? hehe... cos not only engine.. but other aspects need to break in too.. like clutch, chain, tyres, gearbox n some minor adjustments to suit the rider...

take it easy...

 

 

 

 

:cheeky:

no matter how.. cant go wrong one.. load the rings n u'll be fine.. cos i know some people from a long time ago.. during break in stay at 4k rpm n never open thorottle... slowly pick up n change gear the sooner the better.. speed below 80km...

 

 

i tink tats wrong.. even by manufacturer standards.. haha

That means, ride it hard and ride it fast...

[ghost_man]

one dark n stormy nite in melaka Rick and gucci......in grasscutter hse......rick and gucci saw slow_sp giving penske a blowjob. all of a sudden, penske gave out a loud "ku niang scream"... "WO LAI LOR!!!!!" And his sperm spit onto GUCCI's face.

slow_sp mumbled something like "wat a tiny diick" But it can shoot so far. It's incredible! And soooooo much supply some more... It is more than a mouthful for Gucci. Short and Powerful, Rick proclaimed.

 

Gucci trying to swallow the love juices smeared on his own face... Taste yummy! he thought to himself. "Can i have more, Penske?" he asked. then suddenly rick barged in and in desperation and jealousy, sucked penske's diick until he ejaculated a mountainful of poisonous sperm into rick's mouth. the poison starts to take effect and before rick dies, his last words were, " i'm sorry slow_sp that i cant die with ur penis in my mouth." Slow_sp was so sad tat he cant eat or slp for days.

 

Then, along came Aie, he was so shocked that wat we were doing then. He quickly charged to where the rest were and with his chest heaving and his breathing heavy, he shouted...

 

"OIIIIII!!! WHY YOU ALL START WITHOUT ME AH???!!! Then quickly he put down his pants and start massaging his thighs cos he got cramps from all that charging earlier. Once he felt OK, he turned and walked out the door, shaking his head & promising himself not to arrive late the next time.

 

After leaving, he sensed that something was not right so Aie went back through the door, saw slow_sp bending down, and decided to poke slow_sp's ass with a nice green cucumber he just bought for himself... but what the heck he thought... And then...along came phryford who took pity on slow_sp and substituted the green cucumber with.. his head. Miraculously, it fitted right in as slow_sp got a huge asshol*. phryford then realised how shitty it felt like to be in an asshol*... Wet and slimy is the feeling.. Yucks he thought, this assshole must have had been through soft run-in... if only hard run-in was applied...

 

Sensing the opportunity to profit from this new phenomenon, a number of shops bought dyno machines in case anyone wanted to 'improve' their butts through the different types of run-in.

 

Slow_sp stood up turn around with the Wide grin on his face.. He ripped off the mask.... To our surprize it was RICKTM..!!!!!! no wonder that BIG HUGE pimpled a$$ looked so familiar...!!!!

150km/h to 200km/h is fast. Anything above 200km/h is too fast. Besides, some rider at the 06 R6 thread said that he suffered tankslap at 220km/h to 240km/h. So before you get to throttle happy with your new bike, better ride it and get use to it first before revving it way up high and speeding on it like a bat out of hell...

hmm.. well it takes some time to get used to the handling of the gixxer... especially if this is ur first cl2 bike... as for me... from a yammy to a gixxer.. it sure takes some getting used to cos of the big difference in weight distribution...

 

so far.. i keep her under 8k rpm for the 1st 1000km althou i do go WOT at times.. then its 11krpm for the next 600 km.. then its done.. time for fully syn EO... everything seems ok.. brakes suck thou.. so do change the pads..hoses n fluid too if u feel like it.... n get the suspension set up too... cos its kinda harsh by stock setting...

 

think tat shld render u much fun in riding around.. fast or slow.. its ur choice

 

hope to meet up fellow gixxers.. have fun bro

WOT = wide open throttle

 

u got ur bike yet?

 

actually a good place to run in ur bike n familiarise will be on track...

 

 

keep the revs below 8k and everything should seal well with the constant variations in throttle position n load in both acceleration n deceleration..

If you have the experience of riding a big sportsbike before, then it is OK to run in your brand new bike at the tracks like my bro, slowpoke. However, if this is the first time that you have ever ridden a litre sportsbike, then best to familiarize yourself on your brand new bike on the roads rather than the track. With zilch experience, running your bike on the track may be disastrous cos the chances of you buanging your bike is great. Like what my siggy says : First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature's rule. Not mine...
