Premium Member Guru Posted September 14, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 14, 2014 A friend of mine told me about his forum. Now the rumour has it that the FJ-09 is coming on our shores, I decided to join. This is going to me awesome !! I can't wait to share and discuss the all new FJ-09.

montana07 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hi Guru, I'm new here as well. Have you been riding long? What's you're previous experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelt Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Funny you should ask. I currently have a FZ-07. I love it. What do you ride?FZ-07....Sweet ride. How long have you had it? Did you break it in according to the bike's official manual or did you break it in "hard" which is considered a lot more controversial, but supposedly better in the long run for the bike? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Guru Posted September 15, 2014 Author Premium Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have had it since the beginning of July and have done about 2500 miles. I went for the hard(er) break in. I didn't go crazy, but definitely didn't baby it. In fact my first tank had the worst mpg so far. Now it runs like top and feels tight. I couldn't be happier.

From everything I've heard & read, the hard (er) break in seems to be the preferred way to go for many. Sounds like you found a great balance of not going crazy, but still pushing it. I'm not surprised to hear that you didn't get great mpg on your first tank. That seems to be a common experience. Glad to hear you're enjoying your bike & it runs great.

mjh937 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 My FZ-07 goes in for its first service today. I did a similar break in to Guru. Hopefully that will work well. A Guru has to be correct, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guru has to be correct, right? You are exactly right. A Guru definitely has to be correct. Everyone I've talked to who has gone with the hard break-in versus the soft break-in has had good results. Thanks to all for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
