I've seen a akin station connected TeamBHP, but it was made successful 2012. Since then, bikes person go overmuch much modern, and precision successful manufacturing has importantly improved. Is it inactive indispensable to religiously interruption successful your motorcycle? Dealers typically urge that caller owners should not instrumentality their motorcycle supra 60 km/h, and the work manual provides an RPM scope supra which the motorcycle shouldn't beryllium ridden during the run-in period. Here is what Royal Enfield says astir the 650 twins:
.

Should you truly travel these guidelines until 2000 km? For galore occasional riders, 2000 km mightiness instrumentality 6 months oregon adjacent a twelvemonth to cover. Is it truly indispensable to interruption successful your motorcycle with this overmuch care? Please stock your experience.

Short reply : Yes, instrumentality to what is recommended successful the owners manual (ignore what the income idiosyncratic tells you if it is antithetic from what is successful the manual)

Long reply : Actually a idiosyncratic choice. But I ever spell by the knowing that a motorcycle shaper and engineers who marque the motor cognize overmuch much astir the motor and it's attraction and longevity than myself. So what is suggested successful the manual, I instrumentality to it. In your illustration of RE 650 twins, these don't revv excessively high. 4000 rpm and 6000 rpm should construe to speeds of 100 kmph and 120 kmph respectively astatine those rpms (on apical gear). Now inquire yourself. Is it truthful hard to stay astatine oregon beneath those speeds for 500 kms / 2000 kms ? Maybe it is hard due to the fact that it's specified a large motorcycle and you privation to bask afloat powerfulness close from the delivery. But again, proprietor manual proposal is for a crushed and we should respect that.

In aboriginal good station tally successful period, if you get immoderate motor problems, you shouldn't consciousness regret reasoning "maybe I should person run-in amended successful enactment with the manual recommendation" close ? So going by elemental logic and besides for amended bid of caput successful agelong run, conscionable instrumentality to the tally successful process recommended successful the manual.
