most break-in directions don't say to let it hit high rpms; they say not to run it for extended periods of time there, which i follow. i occasionally hit the throttle to higher revs; i just don't leave it there. i'd bet most ppl follow those instructions without even realizing it... |

Actually if you're using full synth 5k changes are just fine. |

My first oil change I had to run it till around 850 on the GSXR...checked with the dealer and they said it was all good, the couple extra hundred wont make that big a difference. Still riding the snot outta the GSXR with no problems. Several hundred might be a concern, but only a few hundred I wouldnt stress about.

I think my engine finally breaks in at 24000 miles. I am on a 6000 mile interval.

In theory I do every 5k miles on synthetic oil...but since I dont put on nearly 5k miles in a year I just change it once a year.

Do you wipe his ass? He's a man. Tell him to get his pansy ass outside and get the job done.
You think Abraham Lincoln had someone else grow his beard for him? Hell no. He grew that shit himself. |
