Yammer Dan Posted January 2, 2012 Share #165 Posted January 2, 2012 Hey Kic. looks like we will have to wait for them to recharge again. We usually just stop at DQ and wait on them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIC Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share #166 Posted January 2, 2012 Maybe we were a little too rough on them. I made two New Year resolutions. The first was to be much nicer to 2nd Genners since they are people too. And, the second resolution was to be sure to break the first resolution as soon as possible.

KIC Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share #168 Posted January 2, 2012 Went for a 300 mile ride today with my friend and his blonde 83'. The 89 rode well. Filled my Ipod stick with nothing but Jimmy Buffett. What a great way to start the year ! Love the power when passing or entering the freeway. The bike didn't have any issues, so I am still really pleased with the bike. Had her 2 weeks now and still smilin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll mostly get ice cream suggestions from the 2nd Genners here...you might want to post over in the 2nd Generation Tech section where they will they will be able to tell you how to baby that 2nd Genner. The 1st Genners need and desire to ridden hard and used. The 2nd Genners need ample garage time and rest and relaxation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntanya Posted January 2, 2012 Share #173 Posted January 2, 2012 I ride my bikes between 10k and 15k per year. My RSV will not be spending much time in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything that I should know for breaking in the engine or anything I should do? This weekend was great for riding. welcome aboard and congratulation on your new RSV. Anything you need to know about your new ride can be found right here, just ask, you will get many answers. Some of them will even be right:innocent: I started out with a "99" RSV last year. Thanks to this site And all the great friendly advice and technical info I now own two "99's" one with 2 wheels, this ones for fun, and one with three wheels, this one is for long rides with my wife and hauling a trailer. At least thats the plan. The best part about the Venture is all the great friends we have made here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted January 2, 2012 Share #175 Posted January 2, 2012 just picked up my venture fri 12/30. I love it so far. Is there anything that I should know for breaking in the engine or anything I should do? This weekend was great for riding. My opinion is to ride it pretty hard. The seating of the rings, in my opinion, is more effective if done under load. Not lugging, but wide open throttle in the mid rpm range up to maybe 6,000 rpm's. In today's machining techniques it may not be as critical as the old days when people babied their new engines during breakin and then wondered why the engine always used a little oil. The rings never seated properly. These are absolutely fabulous engines and the do like to rev. Don't ride it like a V twin where you lug it all the time and then don't feel it has the power it should. My 83 routinely sees up to 8,000 rpm's and it has over 150,000 miles on it.
