I forgot to add, around 20 hours change the oil, adjust the valves, chain, and parking brake. Most of all have fun.

Theres alot of debate over the "break in" period. Theres a website somewhere online that says break it in like i stated, alot of people on here have done the same. I just warmed it up really good and then let it have it, and its fine.

sweet, im in the same position, i broke my collarbone so i can't ride for 6 weeks, which sucks because i ordered a durablue axle and i won't be able to try it out for a while. Oh yeah, for tommorrow make sure your tires are at the right pressure, the bike gets "tippy" if its running low on trails.
