2010 Rocket 3 roadster on the road

[Fast Frank]

I picked up my Roadster last Thursday. The weather has not been good at all. I have only 150 miles towards the break-in so far. I am very pleased with the beast. It has a very strong bark under load and I haven't been above 3 1/2 grand yet. it's very smooth, comfortable, and moves along very quickly. Remember "There is no replacement for displacement"

The best ride I have had in years.

Hi...

Its not too bad is it!

A bit lardy and less agile than some, but a lot faster and cooler looking than most!

The only fitting replacement for the standard is one that is faster. Welcome FF.

What is the break in period for the roadster?

SuperD - The book says (my summary) -for the first 500miles
-Do not use full throttle
-Don't stay at the same engine revs for a long period, fast or slow
-avoid aggressive riding ie big handfuls
-Don't ride at more than 3/4 max speed (that's 100mph)

Then for the next 500
-use max rpm only for short bursts

So you're pretty safe to ride normally right from new - just don't labour the beast and keep changing gear a lot. Problem might be finishing off the running in - -the using max rpm bit. that's when you get done by a speed camera! The way mine accelerates even with only 800miles on it is addictive -in third! There's definitely a step up in power at about 3500-4000rpm and if you take a handful you'll be over the ton.
