I changed my oil after it's first ride. That was around 100kms.
I then changed every second ride until 1,000kms... Then every 500kms an oil and filter.. Just use a mineral bike oil on the first change then go semi synthetic.. My bike runs sweet as now.... Never any metal in the oil ...

My performance on my bike was best personally when it was brand new off the dealer floor, although it's running a lot more like it was new after 6 years since I bought it from the dealer, and since I've trimmed the fuel to run more rich and had the valve clearances set right and what not. Part of it also can help with best performance with after market parts and lots of good oil changes with high grade oil.

Ok I will have a stab at this one then........
According to to the 06 manual, break in should be for 100km or 1 hour of operation. It says to run at low rpm. There are 11 further steps in the manual as to what you should do during the 1hr break in period. Basically warm the engine fully ride for 10 mins then allow to cool completely. check chain and spokes. Same again for 20 mins Same again for 30 mins Also some guff about changing the plug cos it will be black!!? Should be good to go after that. First oil change at 5 hours. Not sure I would go along with it as I would prefer to do a more progressive break in and change the oil sooner.
