breakin

Soo, what is everyones take on proper break in period , how and why? GO!

Doing some light reading of the Panigale V4 owners manual, pages 260-261 instructs not to rev above 6000 rpm for the first 1000km, and not above 7000 rpm till 2500km. This seems a bit excessive given the 1299 owners manual has identical break-in instructions, yet has a motor that redlines at...

I say "theory" because I don't think anyone has really proven the case :) One thing for certain, modern engine tolerances are so good that a prolonged break-in period is no longer required. How long is good enough is subject to considerable debate. Excessive heat and stress during early...

So I bet this question has been asked prior. Regardless, here it goes once again .. As far as a engine "break-in", how do I go about a proper one? I have about 80 miles so far. First ride was about 8 miles, then 10, then 20 etc. I have been twisting the throttle and getting up in the...

Hey guys, after 2 weeks of ownership and 900kms I decided to take a look at the oil level. Other then the fact it looks filthy it's low. Seeing on how I'm going to have it changed at 1000kms should I add oil? I'm guessing oil consumption during break in is normal? Alex

The Ducati Master Tech at the dealer advised me to avoid doing a dyno break-in because the 1199 motor isn't like the old ones, and wouldn't benefit from the hard break-in like the older bikes do. He mentioned that the newer technology, including the "liquid lining" (English, please?) needs a...

Tuesday, I got a 1st service. ... IT WAS JUST AMAZING!!!! :D All the parts are ok and I don't need to worry about the recall. Oil, filter, and o-rings were changed and the map was reset. After the service, my Pani feels different and powerful!! Now, it's time to enjoy 'new'...

Last night, I got 1st break-in notification on my dashboard. it's been 3 months. I thought the 'orange zone' was supposed to be 7,000 rpm but it showed 11,000 rpm. Red zone starts 12,000. Is it normal? If you guys give me some comments, I would appreciate!!

Why is it that every shop near me doesnt do Dyno break ins!!! They all act like they don't know what I'm talking about!!....Anybody know any shops in Pa, Nj, De, or even Ny that does Dyno break-ins on Ducs?
