I just went through this exact thing - only I did a ride and ride. Rode the V-Strom to Longview overnight from Chicago on Wednesday, pulled in Thursday morning, traded it in, and rode home on the S10. I took every single freeway exit/onramp on the way back to Maryland until reaching the 600 mile mark. I also rolled on/off the throttle while on the highway to keep the rpm moving aorund between exits. It helps to do this in times of light traffic! I did manage to find a couple dirt roads to play on with 36 miles on the clock - after 50 or so miles of that, got back on the road again.vnp514 said:How might a guy break in his motor on a fly and ride from Longview Texas back to Washington State? I'd just as soon not keep the motor at a prolonged speed/rpm. I'm not sure I've got enough time to spend an extra day around the dealer, put 500 miles on and then head back to Washington. Maybe hit some back roads then look for another dealer along the way? Suggestions?

Nope, not when I live 110 miles from the Yamaha dealership I purchased the bike at.Rynn Storm said:Appears you are not one with the MotoMan... http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm
Welcome to the Forum!!!! Great color choice!!!Alaska Tenere said:Hey Guys,
I just got the new blue beast on Friday.
I saw that. Don't think I didn't see that .. R
I put synth in my Strom starting very early on. When I sold it at 65,000 miles, it had never used any oil. It just used chains and clutch baskets and water pump seals.bloke said:its your money guys but there's no point changing the oil too soon unless you just got a lot of time on your hands and spare cash, also again its your money but putting synth in it too soon will make it worse rather than better in the long run, ask any of the guys on the strom forum who put full synth in their stroms at 500 miles how much oil they use today 6000 miles further down the road?
again its your money spend it how you want to
