    New Vehicle

    I did Motoman break in on my Gixer.

    One provision is an oil change at 50 miles

    MY wife got a new Toyota Sienna and I did an oil change at 75 miles. The oil was clear amber but there was a ton of shiny metal flakes.

    Get something new; change the oil like the next day


    PS Gixer has 8K has not burned a drop of oil... not a one.

    8k is hardly a testament to a break in

    My point was some forecast dire consequences to the Motoman break in

    Regardless your new motor is full of not friendly looking chips of metal when you get it. I can only think they are doing bad thinngs and getting them out is a good thing


    Also improper break in is very hard on the stock exhaust systems
