im just dying to ride this thing!!

 

1.) Read your owner's manual

2.) Ask your dealer

 

i have read my owners manual numerous time and asked my dealer just wondering what you guys thought? you get more inforemation from the guys that own one just want to do it right

 

Ride one hour, varying the speeds, don't go wide open. Change oil and filter using Polaris PS4 oil.

Looking back at my first brief reply, it could have been taken as smart @$$ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I just meant any owner of a new ride SHOULD break it in according to factory and/or dealer recommended procedure. My book says 10 hours OR 2 full tanks of gas. My dealer said 50 miles. So I went by the dealer's word, as he's the one I'd go fuss at/with IF I have any problems. Did the first oil & filter change at exactly 50 miles which in my case came out to 14.1 hours. Recommendations are different on Preds and Sps. For your own protection and peace of mind, follow their guidelines and DOCUMENT all service during the life of the warranty.

Polaris break-in isn't bad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Breaking-in a new Harley the way they say is a REAL test of patience[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

whenever you run it or at wot,just don't load too much the engine any longer than throttle blast and little speed run,the most important thing about brake-in is the cool down period between each run an keepin an eye on the coolant level or coolant air leak...
