What kind of break in are you going to do with your H2 SX when you get it?

[cOoTeR]

As many of you know there are a few different arguments as to what's the best way to break in a new motor. Most common are:
1) Baby it like the manual says
2) Ride it like you are planning to ride it all the time
3)Ride it but vary your rpms as much as possible shift often
4)Ride it like you stole it/ hard break in
5) Take it to a dyno shop and have them so a hard break in on it.

What methods is everyone here planning on using? You can put the reason why you are choosing that method but there's not really any reason to debate which is best. The argument has been around forever and it really seems to boil down to personal opinion.

I'm planning on doing the dyno break in.

My reasoning is explained in this video by Brock Davidson.

I typically break my bikes in like 2 & 3, varying throttle and acceleration load as much as possible. I'm usually interested in maximum reliability from all the parts seating without excessive stresses involved. I don't care about eeking out a handful more horsepower.

From a performance POV I'm not too worried about power. At most I would probably put a slipon on possibly for sound only. I don't plan on dropping thousands to max out the engine on this thing. I want a bike I can do a 1000 mile day on (yes, I'm an IBA member) Though it's been awhile since I've done long distance riding.

I also don't want to pay someone to break in a bike that I can do while going out riding.

I'll do option 3, with a little 4 thrown in

[BoostedOne]

Will also do 3+4. Ride hard but don't be cruel to it. that comes later

I'll do option 3, with a little 4 thrown in

Yep, that's the method I've used on every new car, truck, bike I've ever bought. Always seems to result in strong runners and no oil burners.

I will use 2 & 3 with heat cycle breakin method also. (Get bike to full operating temp then shut down and allow to completely cool down) about 15-20 minute rides. It is easier doing the heat cycles in the spring time,much cooler temps. I get about twenty heat cycles on the new engine that way....then just 2 & 3 until 1000 miles. I did my last three new motorcycles that way with great success.

#4 rider her hard (that's what he said)

[h200hp]

#4 rider her hard (that's what he said)

I agree with both of these

[vcyclenut]

1) ride it home from the dealer, varying the load on the rings

2)change the oil

3)ride it like it was stolen

Option 1, whatever the manual says. Generally that's don't exceed a certain rpm for so many miles and vary the throttle. It probably takes longer for the engine to bed in that way, but it will eventually and I think it will run just as strong maybe stronger. I also use exactly the recommended oil.
