Re[2]: New Subscriber Info

[Eric Sheley <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin,

You beat me to the email, but I figured I would add my approval as well.

Several people the I regard highly in the Triumph / MC arena suggest the
same thing and I have used it on my last 3 bikes with positive results as
well. I think you find resistance to this from some only because they know
if they put this info out, you would have some squid toss around during the
break in period a 9 grand and then complain when they had future problems
that they were told is was ok to break in at higher revs.

My experience is that the best thing you can do is to vary the RPMs widely
without being abusive. Don't run to the redline, don't give it WFO throttle
and don't travel at a single rpm. After I picked up my bike I purposely
choose a route that would force a variety of speeds and rpms

Just my .02 but really just "Ditto" to what Martin said
