OK all you tech guru's, Yamaha has the first service scheduled for 600 mi. mainly to change the break in oil.
How far past 600 mi. can you run the break in oil before you should start to worry?
My service tech at the dealer says 400 mi. over should be OK. My problem is that I went in at 400 mi. to get service scheduled, foolishly thinking they would be able to get me a appointment in two or three days, but they where talking the next available appointment being 13 days away, they finally said they would squeeze me in, in a week. It is no problem for me to easily put 150 mi. a day with less than 3 of the miles on pavement getting to the dirt.
That means I will seriously have to curtail my riding or I will be close to 1500mi. at the appointment. Which I know I don't want to do. So I know that I won't want to set just wishing I could go riding so I will change the oil before my appointment, but I can't even get the oil and filter, and I imagine it has a crush washer too, before Monday, and I am at 585mi. now.
So what is the general opinion on how far over 600mi. is safe?
