Default Still during break in period - Is participating in ATV pull a bad idea?

The local ATV pull is this Saturday, and I only have 75 miles on my 2012 Outlander MAX 650 XT. Am I safe to enter the pull do you think, or should I hold off until after the break in period and after the break in oil is out? I want to do what is right for the machine, not what sounds like fun. Thanks.

I think I'd wait until you've gotten the initial 10 hour service done. The dealership usually does an oil change and checks fluids, tightens any bolts to specifications, and a bunch of other stuff to make sure it's ready to rack on the miles.

While I wouldn't think running it hard would hurt it, I wouldn't put it under a load like that just yet.
