Zero Smoke

Have not used my bike in 8 days due to weather and circumstance and it only has 134 miles on it so this morning I was expecting a cloud of smoke from the exhaust as I know they tend to do this prior to rings being seated and when left for a few days... Well nothing.. zero smoke.... Awesome I say lol.. I guess my break in procedure is working....

Good work, mine took over 3,500 to stop smoking! All good now so pretty happy with that. Seems to use very little oil now.

got rid of the smoke after 2 starts, dealer told me give the bike a nice warm up for the first couple of rides, up to 150 F - 160 F before taking off. i guess it worked.

134 miles....haven't even cut a groove at that point...I followed the break in procedures (almost) to the 600 mile mark and first service.

After that, all bets were off...

I think some of these smoke like crazy and some do not.

It would be interesting to see if the "smokers" could be correlated to a certain assembly crew or person.
