My buddy just bought a 06 450f and the saleman said he needs to take two tanks of gas worth of no more than half throttle and varried rpms does it need to be that long that seems exessive to me

RIDE IT HARD ?

[FPMXer]

Ride it 1/2 to 3/4 throttle for 20 minutes after a full warming of the motor. Let it cool all the way down and then ride it like u stole it. Riding it like the book or the salesmen will cause problems early with carbon build up and the rings will not seat to the cylinder wall correctly.

i rode mine easy for about 15 min, got on it in a few places, changed the oil, let it cool all the way down, and then went and rode it like norm.
