out of the box
 

yesterday my new ride came to me at last :).. its brand new 2014 660z tenere.. According to the user manual during the first 1000km of engine break-in i should not rev it over 4500rpm... i am keen on hearing about any other tips for the first 1000km ...
first ride is like a dream, i loved it, i am very happy to have 1 after the first 10km... The veteran (Bmw r 80 ) was good ,but Tenere is great :)

Congrats mate!

Know the feeling - when I bough mine brand new back in 2011.

Enjoy it !

Pics, pics, pics!!!!

here is the first photos :)

ps: i am planing to make the skid plate myself using 5mm aluminum, any suggestions about the material?

:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

I've seen people unboxing's ritual on youtube usually about their new electronic gizmo or playstation, but never seen the unboxing of a motorbike.

Good luck she looks great!!! :bravo:

:006: Welcome on board mate.

Regarding the break in period, my only advice would be to set yourself a challenge to get those 1000Km covered in as short a time as possible! ;)

(Took me about three days if my memory serves me right.)

thanks for the warm welcome :) .. i dont even get the plates and do other burocratic bull****,so riding around is a bit like gta, avoiding cops and stuff:runaway:
Yam Dealer is my friend so i get the bike before the all the legal stuff is done :) ... so first 1000km will be done probably next week, after the official deal is done..
here is some more "box" photos..

Welcome on board and enjoy the bike, and this site is the BEST for help and tips for all XT660 matters. Have fun!!

Welcome to the forums...I trust you'll enjoy your time here.

For me with 2 and 4 bangers...I just ride them after they're warmed up as normal....I usually try and get a few long hill descents and let the engine braking help bed the rings......

(As an aside when I got a new XR400 before it said in the manual to run in for only 25kms!!)

:)

thx :) i am trying to use engine braking like u said.. i am very happy with xtz :) its getting better after each ride.... and the forum is also awesome... i will post more pics and comments when i can.. cheers :)

Congrats, mate! Beautiful bike, welcome to the forum and have a nice time;)
