Thats upto you.
but their isn't much to do in my list, and is worth it even on a 1k engine.
two very succesfull business friends of mine in 1994 went to the local honda dealers to buy a brace of new 900 fireblades,placed the oders one saturday and paid in full for two beasts,
now they collected them from the dealer a few weeks later one saturday,on to the motorway and my good mate is travelling south at 65mph,8 miles from the dealer,running in as told,but,the other business partner has been held up getting on the motorway slightly,when he catches his partner up he is flat in 6th at about 175mph!!!
so partner A drops his blade 3 gears and is soon in hot pursuit at 175mph as well,8-10 miles running in, fook it!!thats enough.
both bikes went on to 20k miles with zero faults before they were traded in,one for a brand new 2001 spec R1 that got run in at 145 mph on the back wheel for 8 miles down the M6!!!!.
run them in as your going to treat them.
i remember in 1998 running my 748sp in on the limiter flat out up hartside passing two superbike ledgends who are both now dead,with everything scraping,got a mention in the mag that month as " knees down tim!" good times.
rip ronnie and gus,life will never be the same with out you,especially on the island in june boys.
