  • Don't let it idle.
  • Don't rev up high.
  • No high throttle settings. No WFO.
  • Very smooth throttle transitions.
  • Do not stay at same RPM for any length of time. Constantly accel/decel/switch gears.
  • Don’t Exceed:
    • 5500 RPM First 100 Miles
    • 6000 RPM Second 100 Miles
    • 6500 Rpm Third 100 Miles
    • 7000 RPM Fourth 100 Miles
    • 8000 RPM Fifth 100 Miles
    • At 600 miles change the oil (use dino oil). Totally unnecessary to do prior to this, and a waste of money.
    • After oil change, ride it however you want.
    • At 2000 Miles, switch to synthetic oil.
