oneshotjohnny Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hey everyone, just got my 2015 fz07 last week, so far so good at 100 miles. I have some break in and mod questions for more experienced owners than myself! Hopefully I'm posting this in the right area! In Connecticut....still a little chilly so the rides are short lol.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 14, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2015 Here is a link to a discussion about breaking in your engine. There is some good reasoning on both sides of the issue, so the best thing is to do some research and decide how you want to do it. Not very helpful, but everyone has their own opinion on this one .

oneshotjohnny Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've read a lot in this forum, I guess as far as break in, mines behaving like some others I've read about. Kinda fussy when you try to start it after its hot....for now I keep it around 6000 or under at least until I hit 200....I'm dying to crank a wheelie on it though...

I know about all of the theories/strategies for break-in, but as far as what Yamaha recommends... The manual states: 0–1000 km (0–600 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 5000 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation, the engine oil must be changed and the oil filter car- tridge or element replaced. [ECA10303] 1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 r/min. The operative word there is "prolonged operation". My interpretation of that says you can use the "motoman" method of break-in, or use your own more moderate interpretation, but don't sit at a steady RPM of greater than the recommended for "PROLONGED" periods of time. JMHO! Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
