Just bought a 09

[gtfitter597]

Hey all, I sold my 03 600 last year and picked up a 09 busa this weekend. It has a whopping 1 mile on it now!

What exactly is the break-in period. The salesman said to keep it under 6,000 rpm for the first 600 miles until the service. The guy that delivered laughed when I asked him abot break in and said just to have it serviced at 600 miles.

I really want to do a Brocks Alien Head system, will I hurt anything doing a full system with 1 mile on the bike? Have another month at least before I can actually ride here.

Thanks all!!

there are mixed theories on the break in. I kept it easy until 500 miles others ran it out of the gate. 500-600 miles is a good weekend ride. Hit a few hours on a Friday...A nice Saturday ride over several counties (Lunch and Dinner)....Sunday cruise for half a day. Should be at break in.

but, in words of a great Busa rider......."Grip it and Rip it"

Congrats on your purchase...we need pics

My only pic so far. Would anyone be opposed to the brocks full kit before break-in? I have over a month to tinker with it, would be nice to get the exhaust done.

The exhaust will not hurt the bike. I personally break my bikes in against the factory theory. I let it warm up and cool down a couple of times, then I run it through the gears in the city for about 20 minutes then I go to the highway and let her rip through 1st to 4th gear about two times. Ride it home and change the oil/filter- done!

This is how "I" have done my bikes with 0 problems with 0 compression loss over time and time again. No flaming guys! its just me.

The dealer wants 350 to do the first maint, what is that besides oil change, forgot to ask.

Oil change and tighten chain, look bike over, proceed to rip you off If you can do these yourself, I would, that's steep.

Congrats on the new bike. The white is actually starting to grow on me.

The full exhaust wont hurt the bike at all. Most dealers will actually install a full exhaust as an option if you want them to.

Do the oil change and adjusting the chain yourself. Its easy and much cheaper!

Where are you located?

I waited till 1000mi mark to put exhaust on. I followed the break in recommendations as well. Seems like cheap insurance to help the life of you new baby

Welcome

And you can put the exhaust on soon as it leaves the floor.. nothing like some good dyno pulls while tuning to seat those rings

 

[09busa]

Welcome and great choice of colors.

+1 and learn to do normal maintenance yourself, much cheaper; and you know it's done right. Too many dealerships now have crackheads working in the service dept.

Any questions, just post up! This is an awesome site with great people!

And Welcome!
