The manual didn't specify much of a break-in period. It said keep the RPMs low, don't go on long cruises, and vary the RPMs. Do that for the first 4 hours, then let er rip!

It's EFI. I have the idle pretty well dialed in now. It was tough to get just right, since it jumps all over the place. The manual says that idle is 1650 RPM, but there's a good 200-300 RPM variance as it idles.

One of the guys on the ride had a helmet cam:

I just installed the O2 sensor removal kit ($40 from Hall's) and immediately noticed a difference. It removes the O2 sensor and includes a plug for the wiring harness that puts the ECU into "race" mode, richening up the fuel mixture, among other things. So far, all I've done is idle it in the garage.

-idles much higher, had to turn it down

-idles much smoother, 1650 rpm +/- 50 (it used to vary by several hundred rpm)

-starts easier

I'm going to take it out on a quick ride and report back!

I'm back from the shakedown ride...

That kit really makes the bike what it should be off the showroom floor!

Low RPM power delivery is MUCH better.

Deceleration exhaust popping is gone.
