Default I am...sorta..

I have been following kinda, I ttok it easy for a couple of days and then I started getting on it a little more since then. Not riding it real hard, but getting on it then slowing down. I read the article on "Breaknig it in Hard" and I want to do the break-in right. Who knows which way is better?

the hole idea is to break all the parts in motor has been pre run at plant what u r breaking is the belt the cvt needs to run for the belt heat and strech and cool and restrech..for better life we have took bike with new belt not broke in and smoke em right off the line ..u don't need 20hrs on the belt before u rag on it maybe like 10miles or 3 hrs its best to nail it let off when riding do not hold at same speed for period of time u need to break the sleave into wear patterns for good power output of belt and sleave some u dont smoke belts....
