Time to say goodbye to my 2010 S10

[Jetpowered]

For a brand new 2020 S10, 3 weeks wait for an all one black though.
Managed to get £5500 trade in and picked a decent 70 plate registration plate so pretty happy,
Tips for running in?

Congratulations on your impending new bike. . . . but, can you translate that into Yankee English, please?

Congratulations!

Congrats on the new bike!

As for breaking in the engine, that's almost as controversial as which oil to use.

I've used this guys method with good success:

Horrible looking site, but good info. Scroll down to the 'On the Street:' section

Sorry here in UK the reg number changes twice a year, September 1st saw the 70 plate so our registration plates on new bikes /cars would be in the following format XX70XXX where the X can be any letter normally chosen by the dealer on registration, clear as mud lol

Thanks for this, 'ride it in hard' sounds like fun from day one

I didn't know there was a 2020 model in black...I thought there was only the ceramic ice with blue rims. Is that a UK specific model?

Hope that link works, one of them without the red decals

Wow, that looks nice with the red trim, and it looks way better than the ceramic white one. I've never seen that color on any of the stateside models. Is that an ES model?

Yes it certainly is

Cool!! It sure is nice to get a big upgrade without tradeoff of "learning curve" on a new model. These super Tenere's are really solid machines (as you already know). As far as break in I personally use the owners manual method and do a lot of oil changes with mineral oil to seat the rings. Living in the UK salt air is hard on bikes. You made a great choice. Enjoy your new bike!!

Bit more nuanced than that
