Assuming by break-in we mean 500 miles: b --ridden hard, but sensibly c--but not often a--went syn at 500, put formula + in primary case a--changes filters each time Anywhere between 2500 and 5000, depending on dust, usually close to 3,000 800 miles now, used maybe 2 ounces between 50 mi. oil change and 500 mile. d 120 indicated haven't changed any tires yet. if the stockers aren't convenient or cheap enough, I'll probably go with Pirelli syncs. I'd like to see distanzias, anakees, tourances, and tkc 80s in our size. | ||

I changed the oil filter each time I changed the oil during break-in. a) yes b) no I change my oil every _____miles after the engine is broken-in. Only 1400 miles, it was changed at 975 miles and I plan to again at 5,000 miles My Uly has 1400_ miles on the odometer now and uses none added amount of oil every 500 miles. How fast have you gone on your Uly? a)90 b)100 c)110 d)120 e)_____ My stock rear tire lasted ____ miles. Still working on the first, but I'm guessing 3500 miles. My stock front tire lasted _____ miles. Not even a scratch yet. After my first rear tire was changed my new tire is a _______ (size and brand). Does anyone else make a dual sport tire this size?

I broke my bike's engine in a) by the book (occasionally +500 RMP in 2nd & 3rd) During break-in I never exceeded in any gear: b) 4000 rpm During break-in I used: a) fossil oil d) HD I changed the oil filter each time I changed the oil during break-in. a) yes I change my oil every recommended (not there yet) miles after the engine is broken-in. My Uly has ~2400 miles on the odometer now and uses need to check again but during initial ~1000 miles very minimal usage ~midway between add/full marks amount of oil every 500 miles. How fast have you gone on your Uly? b)100 (working on my fear of getting ripped off by the wind and patiently awaiting the larger OEM windshield My stock rear tire lasted still going strong @ 2400 miles. My stock front tire lasted still going strong @ 2400 miles. After my first rear tire was changed my new tire is a had planned on trying the Pirelli Scorpion Syncs but am pleasantly surprised by the stock Dunlops and will probably stick with them for at least another rotation (size and brand). | ||

You won't get ripped off by the wind. I've had my Ducati up to 120, and it has less wind protection than the Uly. Just lean into the wind.  | ||

In the first 50 miles I didn't hit the rev limiter and it got a dino oil change. First and only "dealer service" tomorrow at 900 miles and it has surprisingly used little oil, and yes it still has some in it. First tyre change will proly go road tyres, they're OK in the dirt, maybe keep a semi-dirt tyre on the front, not sure yet. | ||

First tire change for me will be to Diablo Stradas or Pilot Roads. | ||

I'll be staying stock for the first one, if they continue to perform the way they have. The Dunlops been surprisingly excellent tires for my type of riding so far. I am waiting for knobbies to come out though. |
