Just another note on proper engine break-in...........RIDE IT LIKE YOU
STOLE IT!!! :^)
Just kidding, to a point. The important thing about engine break-in is to
put it through multiple heat cycles and vary the RPMS! That is, get the
bike up to temperature then let it cool down completely! Repeat, repeat,
repeat.....then ride the piss out of it! :^)

Nice to know. In the meantime I finally got mine sitting nicely in the
garage waiting for the next sunny day with only a small 200 miles on the
odometer as that was all I could cover before I saw rainclouds popping up
and ruining my day.
As I am still in the phase of riding in the bike , I can't tell you much
about power (the manual says I should not stay too long above 5000 rpm and
so I do NOT go there at all) but I can tell you this on torque: if I
release
the clutch in 1st gear without any throttle this baby doesn't stall, it
pulls ! Oh by the way: this gearbox shifts like butter.
