I just bought a new 2000 Red/Grey Hayabusa and have put about 140 miles on it so far. I've been concientious about keeping the revs under the recommended 5500 while under 500 miles (takes a lot of will power!). I've read a couple of stories of people taking their bikes to the upper hundreds soon after purchase. I was wondering how much this can damage the engine or affect bike performance. How many of you have actually followed the recommended break in or let her rip right out of the dealer's lot? Is Suzuki being overly cautious in their recommendations or is it good advice to follow their fun...er, rev limiting break in speeds?
