OK so we're all sitting here just waiting for delivery, or some of you lucky folk actually have your baby (beast)
how are we going to run it in properly? You've got to wake it up and show it you mean business- right?
So warm it up well , say 75 miles gently from cold, then find empty mountain roads, wind it open gradually . one long run is the best, after 100miles open it up harder and harder in short bursts so by 200 miles you're really scrubbing those rings in with full pressure combustion, then start hitting 5000rpm on downhill stretches just spinning the engine up , letting it slow down on the overrun, no brakes, just use the gears.
Head home after 300 odd miles for a beer
do it again next day then take it to the dealer for the 500 mile service
That's my plan - what's yours?
