Default My Brute Force Story

Ya no doubt on the break in procedure. You should always take your time when breaking in a new motor and machine in general . Good rule of thumb "if" you have the patience to break in a motor that will keep its power longer in its life. Is for the first tank of gas 1/4 throtte,2nd tank up to half throttle and so on. after around 15-20 hours on the bike you can get some nice full throttle "bursts" in there. Changing the oil twice is smart also in the first 15 hours on the bike. When they come from the factory your gonna have other lubricants that were used to assemble the motor at the factory + other contaminants. Consider the first change a flush and the second the good clean oil. Trust me its worth it. btw congrats on the bf its a nice machine.

DOA-- Just an FYI. The oil in your KAW650 serves a dual role. It, too, lubes the 2 speed transmission, along with the engine. What it doesn't do, like the Hondas, is lube a "wet" clutch set up. The clutch is what dirtys up the oil in the Hondas.
