    Hello everyone.
    Thx for the kind words, I’ll be looking forward to saving $$$$ for the must have mods.
    Any suggestions on engine run in time /method.
    I’ve run in / broke in many motorcycle engines and there is a notiable difference in performance and longevity.

    Example/ on off throttle no full throttle for extended periods 75% throttle etc etc.
    500km-1000km is when my 4 stroke engines usualy wake up.

    My 2017 Africa Twin tri color DCT woke up @ 600km very noticeable with this same process!

    Ecu will learn how you drive and adapt somewhat. I’ve read anywhere from 1000-2500 miles the transmission smooths out on automatics.
