Greetings from Vermont... I just purchased a nearly new '09 from a local dealer, and will pick up the bike early next week. It has a total of 130 miles on it.... a consignment sale, previous owner was an elderly gent who hurt his arm and upon his doctor's advice, decided to part with the bike. I have only dealt with the dealer on the sale (a non-Kawasaki dealer), so I haven't had the benefit of talking to the previous owner. The bike is clean and unblemished and was fun to ride on the test ride, which was pretty lengthy.
Question: Being this is basically still a brand new bike, any advice on break-in? Also, I typically run synthetic oil in all my vehicles, is this a good idea to introduce to the motor so early in it's life? Any advice appreciated. I'll ride the bike for several hundred miles before deciding on any mods and to just get used to it... but I'm careful about regular maintenance, especially regular oil changes and such.
Thanks guys, Marcos
