I spoke to my dealer today, preston booker, he is hoping my bike arrives tomorrow, this then means I should get it next week. i was wondering about the run in period so thanks as you've all kind of answered it, only thing was i was hoping to do the miles fairly quickly on a few runs to Anglesey bu according the the abstract from the manual above it doesn't recommend prolonged periods at the same speed which is exactly what I was going to do on the A55, I suppose i could always go through the North Wales hills instead but i feel it would kill me if i couldn't open her up whilst doing so haha
