Re[2]: New Subscriber Info

Be careful of the "fierce acceleration" theory. I have used high revs during 
break in periods and in my experience the results were positive. However it is 
essential to avoid excessively heavy loads on the motor this early in its life. 
If you want to try this break in method the idea is to use high revs for short 
periods during the break in but to apply them relatively gently by rolling on 
the throttle rather than applying "fierce acceleration" which would seem to 
suggest snapping the throttle open aggressively. I've used this break in method 
on my last two machines and in both cases my bike has turned out to be 
noticeably quicker than friends identical machines broken-in in the more 
traditional style.

What is the advice on breaking in the new ST? Several people on the Triumph 
list say that occasional brief fierce acceleration beyond the specified 
limits wil bed in the piston rings better than adhering slavishly to the 
reccommended limits.
