P1000 How do we break these pioneers in?

[Montana]

Any ideas from prior ownership?

Everyones different. I get in it and drive it the same way im going to after break in. 1st oil and filter change at 100 miles

A lot like Montana I suppose. Absolutely oil change at 100! When engines first break in they build contaminates. I try to stay out of the very high rpms and make sure not too many sustained revs for first few hundreds but don't be too bashful. I really believe in going through the gears (meaning low-high revs different speeds) lots and if you drive hard the drive it fairly hard just back off slightly. If you were to always drive easy on it well give it a little hell here and there during break in to allow it to stretch its legs. Drive it but fairly hard but within reason. Everyone is different but this is us.

I break everything in the way I'm going to drive it.

That's how I broke in my dragbike after I freshened it up with new rings n bearings. I put it through 3 or 4 heat cycles without coolant in the shop, then stick it in the water box lol.

I did bang the rev limiter couple times when it only had maybe 3 hrs on it. I was using manual mode for first time and didn't know it had a delay before shifting gears. Gotta shift long before redline.

I started in 97 with a cbr1000f, ran it for about 4 years then bought a cbr900rr. It was a nitrous bike til few years ago when I stuffed a cbr1100xx motor in it. Ran it for almost 2 years til my back couldn't take those 1.4xx 60' launches lol. Had to sell everything

In a sea of zx12s, 14s and hyabusas, me and a few buddies had our Hondas. My little 9 with the blackbird motor in it would eat a busa for lunch lol. Best e.t. with nitrous 945 motor was a 5.89 @124mph in 1/8. With stock blackbird motor best et was a 6.12 @117mph. She was begging for a stroke and some spray lol. No wheelie bars (training wheels). Lol.

Run it like you stole it

How about drive it like you paid for it, Just drive it normal without topping out the RPM for the first few hours. No need to baby it , no need to stress it just drive and enjoy it.

Thats what I was wanting to say in other words drive it like you are going to use it

So, in WV it is difficult to go anywhere without a mountain in the way. As I'm trying to get into a 1000-5, reading the tranny concerns, my question is would it be prudent to keep to flatter ground for the first 100 miles? Would you change your oils at say 25 or 50 in this type of terrain?

I would not be concerned, of the 230 miles on mine all but 60 of them have been through the hills and trails in TN just like in WV. I would recommend running it in L range and cruise along at 10-15 mph on the trails just like normal trail riding. Giver gas when you need to or feel like it just don't run it WFO (RPM wise)for the first hundred miles or so. Just drive it normal unless your version of normal is a mud bog that eats winches for lunch from heavy use. Just keep your momentum rolling over 5 MPH on the steeper hills it will be just fine.
